Abstract
A general theory is developed to study the effect of boundaries on the dispersion interaction between molecules in a bounded region. By way of illustration the method is applied to the study of the interaction between two oscillators located between two conducting plates. When the oscillators are separated by a distance larger than the plate separation the force law becomes considerably different from London and Casimir-Polder results.Keywords
