Abstract
We apply the AdS/CFT correspondence in considering the Casimir energy and some non-
local entanglement measures in the non-relativistic backgrounds for general dynamical
exponent z with and without hyperscaling violation exponent θ . In such background, we
use holographic methods and compute the mutual information and tripartite information.
We also consider the monogamy of holographic mutual information in the Schr¨ odinger-type
geometry and by numerical analysis we show that this quantity is monogamous.

1 Introduction
The Casimir effect describes non-trivial properties of the vacuum state in quantum field
theory and it can be considered as one of the manifestations of macroscopic zero-point
energy of the theory. From the experimental point of view this effect describes an attractive
force between two electrically neutral parallel conductive planes placed in a vacuum, this
force is due to the simple presence of the vacuum. Theoretically the Casimir effect can be
described by the difference between zero-point fluctuation spectrum in the presence of these
plates and in their absence. The key point of this effect is the boundary condition in a way
that the zero-point energy of any relativistic field might be by boundary conditions. By the
means of the quantized vacuum, the virtual particle-antiparticle pair can be created from
vacuum and annihilated back to vacuum [1–10].
It is well known that in computing the vacuum energy of a given system the infini-
ties appear which should be regularized and renormalized. There are many methods of
regularization such as frequency cutoff regularization, Green’ s function method, zeta func-
tion regularization, dimensional regularization and point-splitting method which have been
studied in several papers. In the present study we follow Anti-de Sitter space/Conformal
Field Theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence to consider this effect in the non-relativistic
background.
