We study two Polyakov loop correlators in large $N$ limit of ${\cal{N}}=4$super Yang-Mills theory at finite temperature using the AdS-Schwarzschild blackhole. In the case that one of the two loops is of the anti-symmetricrepresentation, we use D5-branes to evaluate them. The phase structure of thesecorrelators is also examined. A previous result, derived in hep-th/9803135 andhep-th/9803137, is realized as a limiting case.}Comment: 12 pages, 2 figure
