Abstract
We study the gauge boson propagator in the dual Abelian Higgs theory which confines electric charges. The confinement is due to dual Abrikosov-Nielsen -Olesen strings. We show that the infrared double pole 1/(p(2))(2) in the p ropagator is absent due to the confinement phenomenon. Instead, specific an gular singularities signal the eventual set in of the confinement. These an gular singularities are a manifestation of the confining strings.
