Abstract
Vacuum fluctuations at finite temperature between two plane walls give rise to a Casimir energy which has a simple symmetry between high and low temperatures. This symmetry is most easily understood in a derivation based on functional methods using dimensional regularisation and generalised zeta functions.Keywords
