Casimir Effect, Cosmological Singularity

Scientific paper

We revisit the computation of the renormalised energy-momentum tensor for a quantised scalar field in an Einstein static universe. We show that for a range of couplings to the Ricci scalar and masses, the renormalised energy momentum tensor violates the strong energy condition. We discuss the back-reaction problem and in particular the possibility that this Casimir energy could source both a short inflationary epoch and avoid the big bang singularity through a bounce.
