Abstract
We obtain the thermal corrections to the Casimir energy for the neutrino and electromagnetic fields in Einstein and closed Friedmann universes containing a static, infinitely straight and thin cosmic string. The Casimir free energy is also obtained as well as their low and high temperature limits. It is shown that the vacuum energies associated with these fields, in the background considered, are given simply by the vacuum energies in the absence of the cosmic string multiplied by a factor that codifies the presence of this topological defect.
