الوصف: We calculate in a general background gauge, to one-loop order, the leading logarithmic contribution from the graviton self-energy at finite temperature $T$, extending a previous analysis done at $T=0$. The result, which has a transverse structure, is applied to evaluate the leading quantum correction of the gravitational vacuum polarization to the Newtonian potential. An analytic expression valid at all temperatures is obtained, which generalizes the result obtained earlier at $T=0$. One finds that the magnitude of this quantum correction decreases as the temperature rises.
