Abstract
The massive scalar field with interaction placed in dimensional box is considered. The sizes of the box are is the volume, is the temperature). The free energy is evaluated up to the 2nd order of . The averaging on the vacuum fluctuations is separated from the averaging on the thermal fluctuations explicitly. As result the free-energy is expressed through the scattering amplitudes. We find that in 3-loop approximation the expression for free energy coincides with the ansatz of Bernstein, Dashen, Ma suggested on the base of -matrix formulation of statistical mechanics. The obtained expressions are generalized for higher order of .
