Abstract
We consider a general situation where a charged massive scalar field at finite temperature interacts with a magnetic flux cosmic string. We determine a general expression for the Euclidean thermal Green's function of the massive scalar field and a handy expression for a massless scalar field. With this result, we evaluate the thermal average and the thermal average of the energy-momentum tensor of a nonconformal massless scalar field.
