Abstract

We discuss the calculation of Casimir forces between a collection of N dielectric spheres. This is done by evaluating directly the force on a sphere constructed from a stress tensor, rather than an interaction energy. Two- and three-body forces between the spheres are evaluated for setups of two- and three-sphere systems, respectively. An approximate large-N limit is also obtained for the functional dependence on the number of spheres.
