Casimir effect in QED is one example of finite size effect
the stress on the bounding surfaces when quantum field is confined to finite volume of space
type of boundaries
- real material media
- interface between two different phases of the vacuum of a field theory such as QCD, in which case colored field may only exist in the interior region
- topology of space
the boundaries restrict the modes of the quantum fields
give rise to measurable and important forces

zero-point energy in the presence of the boundaries
- sum over all modes
- any kind of constraint or boudary conditions on the the zero-point modes of the quantum fields in question, including backgrounds such as gravity
- In a model without boundary conditions, the Hamiltonian value associated wih the vacuum or ground state, called zero-point energy, is usually discarded because, despite being infinite, may be reabsorbed in a suitable redefinition of the energy origin
- there are several ways to put such an adjustment into practice, normal ordering being oneof the most popular
Green's functions method
- represents the vacuum expectation value of the produc of fields

transformaion
\(z \to w=\frac{L}{2\pi}\ln z\)
Schwarzian derivative
\(\frac{1}{2z^2}\)
energy momentum tensor changes
\(T_{cyl}(w)=-(\frac{2\pi}{L})^2\{T_{pl}(z)z^2-\frac{c}{24}\}\)
\(L_0 \to L_0-c/24\)
the central charge emerges
central charge is proportional to the Casimir energy, the change in the vacuum energy density brought about by the periodicity condition on the cylinder

\(<T_{cyl}(w)>=-\frac{c\pi^2}{6L^2}\)

\(F(L)=\frac{c\pi}{6L}\)
