The construction of a theory of the superconductivity of oxide metals
based on the polar model is discussed. The matrix electron Green's fun
ction is calculated with allowance for both the electron-phonon intera
ction and strong Coulomb correlations. The possible raising of T(c) du
e to the lattice instability associated with strong anharmonicity of t
he oxygen ion vibrations in perovskite-like compounds is considered. S
trong electron correlations are taken into account in a one-band t-J m
odel. Because of a local restriction that precludes doubly occupied st
ates in a system with strong correlation, only d-wave pairing is possi
ble.
