Analysis of these magnetotransport experiments yields a product $g^*m^*$ that diverges at this density (here $g^*$ is the interaction-enhanced Landé $g$-factor and $m^*$ is the effective mass). This claim has been disputed based on direct determinations of the $g^*m^*$ obtained from Shubnikov-de Haas measurements. We briefly review these experiments, and possible sources of the discrepancies.5 pages, 5 figures; conference proceedings: "Quantum Transport and Quantum Coherence" -- Localisation 2002 Sophia University, Tokyo, August 16-19, 2002, to be published in a supplement of the Journal of Physical Society of JapanStrongly Correlated Electronstext
