Many faces of Casimir: mirrors, black holes, and beta decay

Abstract

Moving mirrors, or Dynamical Casimir effect, is a phenomenon of particle creation induced by a reflective boundary that moves in a non-uniform fashion. This phenomenon when considered in 1+1 dimensions can be described by a conformal field theory with a boundary, which allows one to obtain a great variety of exact results concerning particle production.

We will focus on parallels and exact dualities that connect this phenomenon to other areas of physics, in particular to the Classical Electrodynamics and to the Hawking radiation. Ideas conceived by Unruh, Wilczek and others were recently developed on a new level, which allows for simplified description of certain important aspects of four dimensional theories. Moreover, we found several new thermal systems among 1+1-dimentional mirrors and 3+1-dimentional electrons.
