Bonjour,
Je ne suis pas certain de comprendre le sens de "matter" ici ?
An account of both light propagation and of interactions which matter is sketched.
Ceci est un résumé expliquant le contenu d'un article scientifique, je n'ai donc que très peu de contexte.
Je vous remercie à l'avance pour votre aide précieuse.

English term (edited):
which matter > with matter
Selected
avec la matière
I'm going to stick my neck out here and say that I think the problem here is a typo, and that 'which' ought to have been 'with'. It could be a dictation error, or simply a typing error wrongly corrected by a spell checker.
Of course, you could always read the rest of the article to see what they're talking about — but it seems to me that "light propagation" and "interactions with matter" would be perfectly logical, scientifically-speaking.
I do wonder, though, if this might be EN written by a non-native?

Note from asker:
| I agree with you all the more that there is a concept such as : matérialisation des interactions. |

Of course not! But I would have thought the rest of the document should readily clear up the ambiguity, since this IS, after all, what it is meant to be about!

importantes
les interactions importantes, qui comptent, pertinentes.
Il se peut aussi que ce soit "with matter" au lieu de "which matter". Dans ce cas, ce serait "les interactions avec la matière".

matter = verbe "to matter" = compter/importer/avoir une importance
s'il n'ay a pas de faute de frappe ou de transcription, voice le seul sens possible
