  "abstract": "We discuss the formalism of Balian and Duplantier for the calculation of the Casimir energy for an arbitrary smooth compact surface, and use it to give some examples: a finite cylinder with hemispherical caps, the torus, ellipsoid of revolution, a \"cube\" with rounded corners and edges, and a \"drum\" made of disks and part of a torus. We propose a model function which approximately captures the shape dependence of the Casimir energy.",
