Abstract
The partition function and thermodynamic potential are calculated in arbitrary space-time dimension for scalar and spinor fields coupled to a constant vacuum gauge potential at finite temperature . For , closed expressions in terms of Bernoulli polynomials are obtained. This generalizes known results for .
