Abstract: The one-loop partition function of the $$f(R,R_{\mu \nu }R^{\mu \nu })$$ gravity theory is obtained around $$\hbox {AdS}_4$$ background. After a suitable choice of the gauge condition and computation of the ghost determinant, we obtain the one-loop partition function of the theory. The traced heat kernel over the thermal quotient of the $$\hbox {AdS}_4$$ space is also computed and the thermal partition function is obtained for this theory. We then consider quantum corrections to the thermodynamical quantities in some special cases.
