Vacuum fluctuations of massless fermions between two parallel and confining plates give rise to an attractive Casimir force at zero temperature. It becomes repulsive at sufficiently high temperatures. All thermodynamic quantities are given by the free energy which satisfies a remarkable symmetry und

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
This paper develops the general formalism for calculating the electrostrictive contribution to the Casimir force (i.e., the force due to the fluctuations of the electromagnetic field) on a dielectric sphere. The medium is assumed nondispersive, and moreover assumed to satisfy the Clausius-Mossotti r
