Abstract

The one-loop partition function of the f(R,RμνRμν)f(R,R_{\mu\nu}R^{\mu\nu}) gravity theory is obtained around AdS4_4 background. After suitable choice of the gauge condition and computation of the ghost determinant, we obtain the one-loop partition function of the theory. The traced heat kernel over the thermal quotient of AdS4_4 space is also computed and the thermal partition function is obtained for this theory. We have then consider quantum corrections to the thermodynamical quantities in some special cases.
