Abstract: (APS)
A Monte Carlo calculation of the spectrum of four-dimensional U(1) lattice gauge theory has been carried out. In the scaling limit β→βc massive 0++, 1+−, and 2++ states are indicated. On the critical line β>βc striking evidence is found for a massless photon, and no signal is found for other states.- LATTICE FIELD THEORY: FOUR-DIMENSIONAL
