The heat kernel expansion for the electromagnetic field in a cavity
(39K, LaTeX)

ABSTRACT.  We derive the first six coefficients of the heat kernel expansion for 
the electromagnetic field in a cavity by relating it to the expansion for 
the Laplace operator acting on forms. As an application we verify that 
the electromagnetic Casimir energy is finite.
