    "abstract": "A path integral formulation is developed for the dynamic Casimir effect. It\nallows us to study arbitrary deformations in space and time of the perfectly\nreflecting (conducting) boundaries of a cavity. The mechanical response of the\nintervening vacuum is calculated to linear order in the frequency-wavevector\nplane. For a single corrugated plate we find a correction to mass at low\nfrequencies, and an effective shear viscosity at high frequencies; both\nanisotropic. For two plates there is resonant dissipation for all frequencies\ngreater than the lowest optical mode of the cavity.",
