The effective potentials for massless scalar and vector quantum field theories on D dimensional manifolds with p compact noncommutative extra dimensions are evaluated by means of dimensional regularization implemented by zeta function…
We calculate a temperature dependent part of the one-loop thermodynamic potential (and the free energy) for charged massive fields in a general class of irreducible rank 1 symmetric spaces. Both low- and high-temperature expansions are…
We use relative zeta functions technique of W. Muller \cite{Mul} to extend the classical decomposition of the zeta regularized partition function of a finite temperature quantum field theory on a ultrastatic space-time with compact spatial…
The first quantum corrections to the free energy for massive fields in $D$-dimensional space-times of the form $\R\times\R^+\times\M^{N-1}$, where $D=N+1$ and $\M^{N-1}$ is a constant curvature manifold, is investigated by means of the…
The one-loop partition function for a charged self-interacting Bose gas at finite temperature in D-dimensional spacetime is evaluated within a path integral approach making use of zeta-function regularization. For D even, a new additional…
The one-loop effective action for a massive self-interacting scalar field is investigated in $4$-dimensional ultrastatic space-time $ R \times H^3/\Gamma$, $H^3/\Gamma$ being a non-compact hyperbolic manifold with finite volume. Making use…
Motivated by the study of quantum fields in a Friedman-Robertson-Walker (FRW) spacetime, the one-loop effective action for a scalar field defined in the ultrastatic manifold $R\times H^3/\Gamma$, $H^3/\Gamma$ being the finite volume,…
We express the zeta function associated to the Laplacian operator on $S^1_r\times M$ in terms of the zeta function associated to the Laplacian on $M$, where $M$ is a compact connected Riemannian manifold. This gives formulas for the…
The zeta function regularization technique is used to study the finite temperature Casimir effect for a charged and massless scalar field confined between parallel plates and satisfying Dirichlet boundary conditions at the plates. A…
Massless and massive scalar fields and massless spinor fields are considered at arbitrary temperatures in four dimensional ultrastatic curved spacetime. Scalar models under consideration can be either conformal or nonconformal and include…
An Euclidean approach for investigating quantum aspects of a scalar field living on a class of D-dimensional static black hole space-times, including the extremal ones, is reviewed. The method makes use of a near horizon approximation of…
We analyze renormalization and the high temperature expansion of the one-loop effective action of the space-time noncommutative \phi^4 theory by using the zeta function regularization in the imaginary time formalism (i.e., on S^1 x R^3).…
The one-loop effective action for a scalar field defined in the ultrastatic space-time where non standard logarithmic terms in the asymptotic heat-kernel expansion are present, is investigated by a generalisation of zeta-function…
We investigate the one-loop corrections at zero, as well as finite temperature, of a scalar field taking place in a braneworld motived warped background. After to reach a well defined problem, we calculate the effective action with the…
We develop a systematic framework for the quantum and thermal properties of a Klein-Gordon scalar field subject to an inverted harmonic potential $-{1\over2} m^2\omega^2 x^2$. Starting from a non-Hermitian momentum substitution $P \to P -…
The character of quantum corrections to the gravitational action of a conformally invariant field theory for a self-interacting scalar field on a manifold with boundary is considered at third loop-order in the perturbative expansion of the…
A method for determining the leading quantum contributions to the effective action for both zero and finite temperatures is presented. While it is described in the context of a scalar field theory, it can be straight-forwardly extended to…
The finite temperature Casimir effect for a charged, massive scalar field confined between very large, perfectly conducting parallel plates is studied using the zeta function regularization technique. The scalar field satisfies Dirichlet…
Using the effective potential, we study the one-loop renormalization of a massive self-interacting scalar field at finite temperature in flat manifolds with one or more compactified spatial dimensions. We prove that, owing to the…
In this work, we mainly study the one-loop effective action for real scalar theories in non-homogeneous backgrounds in odd dimensions. It is shown that through the method studied in Ref. [1], it is possible to obtain a unified result for…
