Electromagnetic field properties in the vicinity of a massive wormhole

Description

It is proved that not only massless but also traversable massive wormholes can have electromagnetic "hair." An analysis is also presented of the passage from a traversable wormhole to the limit of a Reissner-Nordström black hole, with the corresponding disappearance of "hair." A general method is developed for solving stationary axisymmetric Maxwell's equations in the field of a massive, spherically symmetric wormhole. As a particular example of application of the method, a solution is found to the axisymmetric magnetostatic problem for a current loop in the field of the Bronnikov-Ellis-Morris-Thorne wormhole.
