| contents | This paper establishes trace-formulae for a class of operators defined in terms of the functional calculus for the Laplace operator on divergence-free vector fields with relative and absolute boundary conditions on Lipschitz domains in $\mathbb{R}^3$. Spectral and scattering theory of the absolute and relative Laplacian is equivalent to the spectral analysis and scattering theory for Maxwell equations. The trace-formulae allow for unbounded functions in the functional calculus that are not admissible in the Birman-Krein formula. In special cases the trace-formula reduces to a determinant formula for the Casimir energy that is being used in the physics literature for the computation of the Casimir energy for objects with metallic boundary conditions. Our theorems justify these formulae in the case of electromagnetic scattering on Lipschitz domains, give a rigorous meaning to them as the trace of certain trace-class operators, and clarifies the function spaces on which the determinants need to be taken. |
