RESUMO
In this paper we discuss the semiclassical approximation for the thermodynamics of scalar fields. We construct a semiclassical propagator in terms of two solutions of an ordinary differential equation. The main result is an analytic (non-perturbative) expression for the partition function written in terms of known quantities.
