Abstract
Mobility of electrons in quasicrystals is considered in the framework of the fractional Fermi surface (FS) model, i.e., a multiconnected FS with many electron-hole pockets. The Mott law for the variable range hopping conductivity is obtained when intervalley scattering processes with small momentum transfer are taken into account. The transition to the power-law temperature dependence is discussed.
