✦ Synopsis

The Casimir effect is considered for a wedge with opening angle α, with perfectly conducting walls, when the interior region is filled with an isotropic and nondispersive medium with permittivity and permeability µ. The electromagnetic energy-momentum tensor in the bulk is calculated, together with the surface stress on the walls. A discussion is given on the possibilities for measuring the influence of the medium, via the Casimir-Polder force.

We analyze the high temperature (or classical) limit of the Casimir effect. A useful quantity which arises naturally in our discussion is the "relative Casimir energy," which we define for a configuration of disjoint conducting boundaries of arbitrary shapes, as the difference of Casimir energies be
