The Casimir effect arises from the zero-point energy of a quantized field and can exert a measurable force on a conducting plate. It is important in some modern developments in cosmology and elementary particle physics.

Of value to the general scientific public, this is the first book in the world scientific literature devoted to the Casimir effect. This topic has important applications in the fields of elementary particle physics, statistical physics, quantum field theory, gravitation and cosmology.

1. Physical foundations of the Casimir effect ; 2. The Casimir effect for various cases ; 3. Realistic quantization domain boundary properties ; 4. Vacuum polarization in topologically non-trivial spaces and cosmology ; 5. Effective temperature of the vacuum ; 6. The Casimir effect in elementary particle physics
