Abstract
We present an effective field theory for the crystalline color superconductivity phase of QCD. It is kown that at high density and at low temperature QCD exhibits a transition to a color superconducting phase characterized by energy gaps in the fermion spectra. Under specific circumstances the gap parameter has a crystalline pattern, breaking translational and rotational invariance. The corresponding phase is the crystalline color superconductive phase (or {\it LOFF} phase). We compute the parameters of the low energy effective lagrangian describing the motion of the free phonon in the high density medium and derive the phonon dispersion law.
