Popis: In this paper the interaction potential between static charges in suspended graphene is studied within the quantum Monte Carlo approach. We calculated the dielectric permittivity of suspended graphene for a set of temperatures and extrapolated our results to zero temperature. The dielectric permittivity at zero temperature is found to have the following properties. At zero distance $\ensuremath{\epsilon}=2.24\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.02$. Then it rises and at a large distance the dielectric permittivity reaches the plateau $\ensuremath{\epsilon}\ensuremath{\simeq}4.20\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.66$. The results obtained in this paper allow us to draw a conclusion that full account of many-body effects in the dielectric permittivity of suspended graphene gives $\ensuremath{\epsilon}$ very close to the one-loop results. Contrary to the one-loop result, the two-loop prediction for the dielectric permittivity deviates from our result. So one can expect large higher order corrections to the two-loop prediction for the dielectric permittivity of suspended graphene.
