This paper investigates the massive gauge field within spacetime context from a 
quotient of the constant curvature black hole. We investigate how the matter field’s back reaction affects the spacetime geometry, considering perturbations in the metric up to the first order. The stress-energy tensor’s expectation value can be precisely calculated by evaluating its pull-back onto the covering space. By appropriately selecting boundary conditions for the massive vector field along a non-contractible cycle of the quotient manifold, achieving a negative average energy along a null geodesic becomes feasible, enabling a traversable wormhole.
