Abstract

It is shown that a pair of vortex and anti-vortex is completely screened in 2+1 dimensional Yang-Mills theory and 3+1 dimensional Yang-Mills theory in the strong coupling limit, based on the recent conjecture of Maldacena. This is consistent with the fact that these theories exhibit confinement.
