Abstract

In 2014, a review of 56 panels was published by the present author, with the aim to describe, using the concept of polarons, the properties of the superconductivity in the hole-doped cuprates [1]. From that review, here I extract and rearrange those of them suitable for possibly giving an interested reader a shorter access to the understanding achieved. A decade earlier, ten relevant articles were published in a book [2] indicating the status, which, in the present effort, has become more concrete, thanks to new experimental and theoretical progress.
