Abstract
The monopole condensate in the confined phase and the monopole mass in the Coulomb phase of U(1) lattice gauge theory are computed in numerical simulations using a monopole correlation function introduced by Fröhlich and Marchetti. The finite-size effects of (magnetically) charged particles in periodic and antiperiodic volumes are discussed in detail and their relation to the infraparticle problem is investigated. By duality the results also apply to the noncompact abelian Higgs model.
