Abstract

We study the critical properties of the monopole-percolation transition in U(1) lattice gauge theory coupled to scalars at infinite (β=0\beta=0) gauge coupling. We find strong scaling corrections in the critical exponents that must be considered by means of an infinite-volume extrapolation. After the extrapolation, our results are as precise as the obtained for the four dimensional site-percolation and, contrary to previously stated, fully compatible with them.
