Abstract
An investigation of pure U(1) gauge theory is made based on block-spin transformations for configurations of lattice size down to size and . Even operators (five types in the first three representations) and ten renormalized couplings are determined on these smaller lattices. This allows the mapping of the renormalization flow. An interesting fixed-point structure and results on the leading critical exponent are found.
