Abstract
In two dimensions, electron-electron interactions can lead to a
Wigner crystal phase, whose properties are quite different from that
of a standard Fermi liquid. In the presence of disorder this crystal
gets pinned and the competition between disorder and the elasticity
of the crystal leads to glassy behavior. We compute the transport
properties of such a system and show in particular how optical
conductivity can be used as a probe of the existence of such a
Wigner glass.
