This is governed by a dislocation condensate characterized by an ordering of Burger's vector and this `dual shear superconductor' manifests itself in the form of a novel spectrum of phonon-like modes.5 pages, 3 figures; minor changes in the textStrongly Correlated ElectronsStatistical MechanicsThe quantum smectic as a dislocation Higgs phasetext
