High-temperature expansion of the free energy of a massive scalar field in a curved space

The high-temperature expansion of the free energy of a free, massive scalar field propagating in a static space-time is derived in terms of the Minakshisundaram coefficients. The method is an extension of a conformal transformation technique using zeta functions.
