Finite temperature Casimir energy in closed rectangular cavities: a rigorous derivation based on a zeta function technique

We derive rigorously explicit formulae of the Casimir free energy at finite temperature for massless scalar field and electromagnetic field confined in a closed rectangular cavity with different boundary conditions by a zeta regularization method. We study both the low and high temperature expansion...
