Finite-wavevector Jahn-Teller-pairing and superconductivity in the   cuprat es
  A model interaction is proposed in which pairing is caused by a non-local Jahn-Teller (JT) -like instability due to the coupling between planar O states and knot equal to 0 phonons. Apart from pairing, the interaction is found to naturally allow metallic stripe formation. The consequences of the model for superconductivity in the cuprates are discussed. The model is shown to be consistent with numerous sets of experimental data in quite some detail.
