19. This is loosely analogous to the standard approach in cavity quantum electrodynamics, where one may start from the experimental free-space values for mass and charge (already renormalized) when computing the corrections due to boundary effects.

24. Note that this approach is not suitable for the problem with a single plate, as discussed by P. A. Maia Neto and S. Reynaud, Phys. Rev. A 47, 1639 (1993). Here the proper high-frequency behavior essential to the validity of Eq. (10) is provided by dimensional regularization.

28. The factor aF in Eq. (20) originates from not including the energy and momentum of the elastic medium which enforces the rigidity of the cavity: see W. Pauli, Theory of Relativity (Dover, New York, 1981), Sec. 43.
