Abstract
We study the heavy charge potential in the Coulomb phase of pure gauge compact U(1) theory on the lattice. We calculate the static potential V-W(T,(R) over right arrow) from Wilson loops on a 16(3)x32 lattice a nd compare with the predictions of lattice perturbation theory. We inv estigate finite size effects and, in particular, the importance of non -Coulomb contributions to the potential. We also comment on the existe nce of a maximal coupling in the Coulomb phase of pure gauge U(1) theo ry.
