Abstract

In this paper we consider the Casimir energy and force of massless Majorana fermions and vector bosons between parallel plates. The vector bosons satisfy perfect electric conductor boundary conditions, while the Majorana fermions satisfy bag and chiral boundary conditions. We consider various piston configurations containing one vector boson and one fermion. We make use of supersymmetry, broken on the boundaries, to explain the number of fields that appear in all the studied cases. The effect of chiral boundary conditions in a fermion–boson system is investigated. Concerning the supersymmetry issue and the vanishing of the Casimir energy, we study a massive Dirac fermion–scalar boson system with bag and specific Robin type boundary conditions for which the Casimir energy vanishes. Finally, a two-scalar-boson system between parallel plates is presented in which the singularities vanish in the total Casimir energy.
