We study the self-adjoint extensions of a class of nonmaximal multiplication operators with boundary conditions. We show that these extensions correspond to singular rank 1 perturbations (in the sense of Albeverio and Kurasov [Singular Perturbations of Differential Operaters (Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2000)]) of the Laplace operator, namely, the formal Laplacian with a singular delta potential, on the half space. This construction is the appropriate setting to describe the Casimir…

The local Casimir effect with a point delta-type potential is analyzed, computing the renormalized VEV of the stress-energy tensor at any point of $\mathbb{R}^3\setminus \mathbf{0}\}$; to this purpose the zeta regularization approach is followed, in the formulation already employed for different configurations in previous works of the authors'.
