Abstract: The one-loop effective action for a massive self-interacting scalar field is investigated in $4$-dimensional ultrastatic space-time $Rimes{H}^3/Gamma$, $H^3/Gamma$ being a non-compact hyperbolic manifold with finite volume. Making use of the Selberg trace formula, the $zeta$-function related to the small disturbance operator is constructed. For an arbitrary gravitational coupling, it is found that $zeta(s)$ has a simple pole at $s=0$. The one-loop effective action is analysed by means of proper-time regularisations and the one-loop divergences are explicitly found. It is pointed out that, in this special case, also $zeta$-function regularisation requires a divergent counterterm, which however is not necessary in the free massless conformal invariant coupling case. Finite temperature effects are studied and the high-temperature expansion is presented. A possible application to the problem of the divergences of the entanglement entropy for a free massless scalar field in a Rindler-like space-time is briefly discussed.
