Two-loop self-energy and multiple scattering at finite temperature

One- and two-loop self-energies are worked out explicitly for a heavy scalar field interacting weakly with a light self-interacting scalar field at finite temperature. The ring or daisy diagrams and a set of necklace diagrams can be summed simultaneously. This simple model serves to illustrate the connection between multiloop self-energy diagrams and multiple scattering in a medium.
