description We combine the microcanonical formulation of lattice gauge theories (LGTs) developed by Callaway and the microcanonical inflection point analysis (MIPA) proposed by Bachmann et al. to achieve a systematic characterization of phase transitions (PTs) in U(1) lattice electrodynamics. Besides identifying the well-known deconfinement PT (DPT) due to the neutral pair dissolution, which we classify as a first-order PT, we unequivocally detect three higher-order PTs. According to MIPA, we observe two independent third-order PTs in the confined phase; instead, in the deconfined (Coulomb) phase, we observe a dependent third-order PT. For a deeper understanding of the physical meaning of these PTs, we numerically compute the average number density of monopolar and pair defects as a function of energy. Our analysis reveals that DPT is only one of the major mechanisms observable in LGT. The independent third-order PTs are associated, respectively, to the first occurrence of monopolar topological defects and to the production of pairs.
