Conformal Field Theory of Critical Casimir Interactions in 2D
G. Bimonte 1, T. Emig 2, M. Kardar 3 Europhysics Letters 104 (2013) 21001 Thermal fluctuations of a critical system induce long-ranged Casimir forces between objects that couple to the underlying field. For two dimensional (2D) conformal field theories (CFT) we derive an exact result for the Casimir interaction between two objects of arbitrary shape, in terms of (1) the free […]
