Description
It is shown that wormholes cause discrete effective interactions between photons and their form is calculated. The leading term is proportional to FμνFμν and hence amounts to a renormalisation of the charge of any charged field coupled to electromagnetism. It is also shown that wormholes containing two conformal scalar particles in the lowest inhomogeneous mode give an effective interaction term proportional to dμφdμφ. (orig.)
