Abstract
The one-loop vacuum polarization is calculated for scalar electrodynamics in a flat space-time with the topology S^1×R^3,The effect of vacuum polarization upon photon propagation is considered.It is found that thoton propagation becomes anisotropic with some photon modes acquring a positive topological mass and thus travelling at a subluminal speed.
