We use a functional approach to study various aspects of the quantum effective dynamics of moving, planar, dispersive mirrors, coupled to scalar or Dirac fields, in different numbers of dimensions. We first compute the Euclidean effective action, and use it to derive the imaginary part of the `in-out' effective action. We also obtain, for the case of the real scalar field in 1+1 dimensions, the Schwinger-Keldysh effective action and a semiclassical Langevin equation that describes the motion of the mirror including noise and dissipative effects due to its coupling to the quantum fields.

  2. Dynamical Casimir effect in the worldline formulation

    hep-th 2026-04 conditional novelty 6.0

    For a scalar field with a moving delta-potential mirror, the worldline formalism yields the dissipative form factor in closed hypergeometric form, with Dirichlet and two-surface limits recovered as special cases.

  3. First Principles Quantization of a Non-Conservative Scalar Field

    hep-th 2025-09 reject novelty 4.0

    A damped scalar field is quantized via doubled variables; the path-integral propagators match in-in results, but the canonical quantization has an internal inconsistency.
