One-Loop Correction to the Casimir Energy in Lorentz-Violating φ⁴ Theory with Rough Membrane Boundaries

In this paper, we calculate the radiative correction to the Casimir energy for both massive and massless Lorentz-violating scalar fields confined between two membranes with rough surfaces in a 3+1 dimensional spacetime. The computations are performed for four types of boundary conditions: Dirichlet, Neumann, Periodic, and Mixed. A crucial element of our approach involves the use of position-dependent counterterms to incorporate the influence of boundaries within the renormalization program. To manage the divergences that emerge in the Casimir energy calculations, we apply the Box Subtraction Scheme (BSS) along with the cutoff regularization technique. We present and discuss results for various degrees of membrane roughness, emphasizing the consistency of our findings with theoretical expectations.
