Abstract:
Finite size scaling studies of monopole condensation in noncompact quenched lattice indicate an authentic second order phase transition lying in the universality class of four dimensional percolation. Since the upper critical dimension of percolation is six, the measured critical indices are far from mean-field values. We propose a simple set of ratios as the exact critical indices for this transition. The implication of these results for critical points in Abelian gauge theories are discussed.- quantum electrodynamics: noncompact
