Electromagnetic fluxes, monopoles, and the order of the 4d compact U(1) phase transition

We consider the 4d compact U(1) gauge theory with extended action S=-beta sum_P cos theta_P -gamma sum_P cos 2 theta_P We give a full characterization of the phase diagram of this model using the notion of flux. The relation with the usual monopole picture is discussed. In analogy with the XY model...
