Probing global aspects of a geometry by the self-force on a charge: Spherical thin-shell wormholes

The self-interaction for a static point charge in the space-time of a thin-shell wormhole constructed connecting two identical Schwarzschild geometries is calculated in a series expansion. The electrostatic self-force is evaluated numerically. It is found to be attractive towards the throat except f...
