We investigate four-dimensional compact U(1) lattice gauge theory with a monopole term added to the Wilson action. First we consider the phase structure at negative $\beta$, revealing some properties of a third phase region there, in…
We investigate the phase diagram of the compact $U(1)$ lattice gauge theory in four dimensions using a non-standard action which is invariant under continuous deformations of the plaquette angles. Just as for the Wilson action, we find a…
In 4D compact U(1) lattice gauge theory with a monopole term added to the Wilson action we first reveal some properties of a third phase region at negative $\beta$. Then at some larger values of the monopole coupling $\lambda$ by a…
Monte Carlo simulations of the 4-dimensional compact U(1) lattice gauge theory in the neighborhood of the transition point are made difficult by the suppression of tunneling between the phases, which becomes very strong as soon as the…
We present a detailed study of the properties of the phase transition in the four-dimensional compact U(1) lattice gauge theory supplemented by a monopole term, for values of the monopole coupling $\lambda$ such that the transition is of…
We present evidence that the existence of a first order phase transition in compact U(1) with Wilson action is not related to monopole loops wrapping around the toroidal lattice, as has been previously suggested. Our analysis is based on…
We show that the phases of the 4-dimensional compact U(1) lattice gauge theory are unambiguously characterized by the topological properties of minimal Dirac sheets as well as of monopole currents lines. We obtain the minimal sheets by a…
We study the deconfinement phase transition of compact $U(1)$ pure lattice gauge theory with the Wilson action on {\em closed topology} lattices. In contrast to studies of compact QED on {\em hypercubic lattices with periodic boundary…
We consider the phase structure of a pure compact U(1) gauge theory in four dimensions at finite temperature by treating this system as a perturbative deformation of the topological model. Phases of a gauge theory can be investigated from…
We show that if actions more general than the usual simple plaquette action ($\sim F_{\mu\nu}^2$) are considered, then compact $U(1)$ {\sl pure} gauge theory in three Euclidean dimensions can have two phases. Both phases are confining…
Our study of the energy distribution has shown that the strength of the first order transition in the four-dimensional compact U(1) lattice gauge theory decreases when the coupling $\lambda$ of the monopole term increases. The disappearance…
The site-reduction of U(1) lattice gauge theory along the spatial directions is used to model the monopole dynamics. The reduced theory is that of the angle-valued coordinates on the discrete worldline. Below the critical coupling…
In $4$-dimensional pure compact $U(1)$ lattice gauge theory, we analyse topological aspects of the dynamics of monopoles across the deconfinement phase transition. We do this using tools from Topological Data Analysis (TDA). We demonstrate…
We consider a lattice action which forbids large fields, and which remains invariant under smooth deformations of the field. Such a "topological" action depends on one parameter, the field cutoff, but does not have a classical continuum…
We study the pure compact U(1) gauge theory with the extended Wilson action (\beta, \gamma couplings) by finite size scaling techniques, in lattices ranging from L=6 to L=24 in the region of \gamma <= 0 with toroidal and spherical…
We show that the two phases of the 4-dimensional compact U(1) lattice gauge theory are characterized by the existence or absence of an infinite current network, defining ``infinite'' on a finite lattice in a manner appropriate to the chosen…
We present an algorithm for Monte Carlo simulations which is able to overcome the suppression of transitions between the phases in compact U(1) lattice gauge theory in 4 dimensions.
The phase diagram of five-dimensional SU(2) gauge theories is explored using Monte Carlo simulations of the theory discretized on a Euclidean lattice using the Wilson plaquette action and periodic boundary conditions. We simulate…
We investigate critical properties of the phase transition in the four-dimensional compact U(1) lattice gauge theory supplemented by a monopole term for values of the monopole coupling $\lambda$ such that the transition is of second order.…
In the pure U(1) lattice gauge theory with the Villain action we find that the monopole mass in the Coulomb phase and the monopole condensate in the confinement phase scale according to simple power laws. This holds outside the coupling…
