Abstract
We consider the possibility of superconductivity in a system of two-di mensional electrons on the surface of liquid helium films Taking into account of the interaction between electrons and the surface excitatio ns of liquid helium films-ripplons, within the weak coupling BCS theor y, we estimate the superconducting transition temperature for various interaction strengths, film thicknesses, and electron densities. The s uperconducting transition temperature T(c), under experimentally reali zable conditions, is calculated to be a few mK's.
