We show that the phases of the 4-dimensional compact U(1) lattice gauge theory are unambiguously characterized by the topological properties of minimal Dirac sheets as well as of monopole currents lines. We obtain the minimal sheets by a simulated-annealing procedure. Our results indicate that the equivalence classes of sheet structures are the physical relevant quantities and that intersections are not important. In conclusion we get a percolation-type view of the phases which holds beyond the particular boundary conditions used.
