Abstract
We present evidence about a critical behavior of 4D compact QED (CQED) pure gauge theory. Regularizing the theory on lattices homotopic to a sphere, we present evidence for a critical, i.e. second order like be havior at the deconfinement phase transition for certain values of the coupling parameter gamma.
