Abstract
The physics of flux lines in the cuprate superconductors pinned by columnar defects is mapped onto boson localization in two dimensions. The theory predicts a Bose glass phase with an infinite tilt modulus and zero linear resistivity, as well as an entangled flux liquid. We describe correlations and transport in these phases, and propose a scaling theory for the irreversibility line which separates them.
