We investigate the two-loop gap equation for the thermal mass of hot massless g2ϕ4 theory and find that the gap equation itself has a nonzero finite imaginary part. This implies that it is not possible to find the real thermal mass as a solution of the gap equation beyond g2 order in perturbation theory. We have solved the gap equation and obtained the real and imaginary parts of the thermal mass which are correct up to g4 order in perturbation theory.

We discuss the finite temperature generalized Gaussian effective potential. We put out a very simple relation between the thermal corrections to the generalized Gaussian effective potential and those of the effective potential. We evaluate explicitly the second-order thermal corrections in the case of the self-interacting scalar field in one spatial dimension.

We present the extension of the zero temperature Schwinger α-representation to the finite temperature scalar field theories. We give, in a compact form, the α-integrand of Feynman amplitudes of these theories. Using this representation, we analyze short-range divergences, and recover in a simple way the known result that the counterterms are temperature-independent.

In [B. Nazari, Mod. Phys. Lett. A 31, 1650007 (2016)], we calculated finite temperature corrections to the energy of the Casimir effect of two conducting parallel plates in a general weak gravitational field. The calculations was done for the case a scalar field was present between the plates. Here we find the same results in the presence of an electromagnetic field.
