Gribov copies and gauge variant correlators in U(1) lattice gauge theory

We discuss the influence of Dirac sheets and zero-momentum modes on the gauge variant photon correlators $\Gamma(\tau;\vp)$ with $\vp\ne 0$ and $\vp =0$ in the pure gauge U(1) theory. A special attention has been paid to the $\beta$- and volume-dependence of this influence. Numerical simulations are performed on $12\times 6^3$ and $24\times 12^3$ lattices at different $y\beta$'s in the Coulomb phase.
