Abstract: (Elsevier)

We study PQED using an action which is the admixture of two terms with different periodicities. The Villain form of this action is rewritten as a Coulomb gas of two kinds of magnetic loops and one electric loop. Novel features of such models are the existence of partial confinement phases and a two-photon phase. Phase diagrams are obtained by naive condensate considerations and by Monte Carlo calculations.
