Duality Transformations and temperature inversion symmetry
Abstract
Description
We argue that the temperature inversion symmetry present in the original Casimir setup and also in other Casimir systems for which symmetrical boundary conditions are imposed is not related to the duality transformations that in the context defined in Ref. [1] are transformations relating spatial extension and temperature, and pressure and energy density. We provide an example of a Casimir system for which in principle there is no temperature inversion symmetry but nevertheless these duality transformations can be found.
