Abstract: In this paper, we obtain bounds on the Wilson loop expectations in 4D $U(1)$ lattice gauge theory which quantify the effect of topological defects. In the case of a Villain interaction, by extending the non-perturbative technique introduced in [GS20a], we obtain the following estimate for a large loop $gamma$ at low temperatures: [ |langle W_gamma angle_{�eta}| leq exp left(-frac{C_{GFF}} {2�eta}(1+C �eta e^{- 2pi^2 �eta} )(|gamma|+o(|gamma|)) ight),. ] Our result is in the line of recent works [Cha20, Cao20, FLV20, For21] which analyze the case where the gauge group is discrete. In the present case where the gauge group is continuous and Abelian, the fluctuations of the gauge field decouple into a Gaussian part, related to the so-called {em free electromagnetic wave} [Gro83, Dri87], and a gas of {em topological defects}. As such, our work gives new quantitative bounds on the fluctuations of the latter which complement the works by Guth and Fr"ohlich-Spencer [Gut80, FS82]. Finally, we improve, also in a non-perturbative way, the correction term from $$ to $$ in the case of the free-energy of the system. This provides a matching lower-bound with the prediction of Guth [Gut80] based on renormalization group techniques.
