Abstract
Massless scalar fields at finite temperature are considered in four-dimensional ultrastatic curved spacetime. The one-loop non-local effective action at finite temperature is found up to second order in the curvature expansion. This action is explicitly infrared finite. In the high-temperature expansion of the free energy, essentially non-local terms linear in temperature are derived.
