Abstract
We study the confinement between vortex strings in the dual lattice gauge theory of the abelian Higgs model. The dual lattice gauge theory is described by a 2-form gauge field. We calculate the string-antistring potential from the surface operator of the 2-form gauge field. The linear confining potential appears in a confinement phase and it disappears in a deconfinement phase. The phase diagram of the theory is also obtained.
