摘要

Possible mechanisms of high-temperature superconductivity are briefly discussed. In particular, a recent paper by P W Anderson on this problem is criticized as containing a number of incorrect and unfounded statements. One of these - that the static dielectric function epsilon(q, 0) cannot he negative - is discussed in detail, as is its consequence, a strong limit on the transition temperature T-c. Proofs are given that epsilon(q, 0) not only can but indeed must be negative in many stable systems, including most of the conventional metals. Various types of electron -electron interaction in superconducting cuprates are discussed. The role of the electron-phonon interaction in cuprates is highlighted.
