We consider polarizable sheets modeled by a lattice of delta function potentials. The Casimir interaction of two such lattices is calculated at nonzero temperature. The heat kernel expansion for periodic singular background is discussed in relation with the high temperature asymptote of the free energy.

Abstract We study one-loop covariant effective action of “non-minimally coupled” $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1, d = 4 Einstein-Maxwell supergravity theory by heat kernel tool. By fluctuating the fields around the classical background, we study the functional determinant of Laplacian differential operator following Seeley-DeWitt technique of heat kernel expansion in proper time. We then compute the Seeley-DeWitt coefficients obtained through the expansion. A particular Seeley-DeWitt coefficient is used for determining the logarithmic correction to Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of extremal black holes using quantum entropy function formalism. We thus determine the logarithmic correction to the entropy of Kerr-Newman, Kerr and Reissner-Nordström black holes in “non-minimally coupled” $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1, d = 4 Einstein-Maxwell supergravity theory.

We derive, based only on simple principles of renormalization in coordinate space, closed renormalized amplitudes and renormalization group constants at one- and two-loop orders for scalar field theories in general backgrounds. This is achieved through a renormalization procedure we develop exploiting the central idea behind differential renormalization, which needs as the only inputs the propagator and the appropriate Laplacian for the backgrounds in question. We work out this coordinate space renormalization in some detail, and subsequently back it up with specific calculations for scalar theories both on curved backgrounds, manifestly preserving diffeomorphism invariance, and at finite temperature.
