We briefly review a theory for the cuprates that has been recently proposedbased on the movement and interaction of holes in antiferromagnetic (AF)backgrounds. A robust peak in the hole density of states (DOS) is crucial toproduce a large critical temperature once a source of hole attraction isidentified. The predictions of this scenario are compared with experiments. Thestability of the calculations after modifying some of the original assumptionsis addressed. We find that if the dispersion is changed from anantiferromagnetic band at half-filling to a tight binding $cosk_x + cosk_y$narrow band at $<n> =0.87$, the main conclusions of the approach remainbasically the same i.e. superconductivity appears in the $d_{x^2 -y^2}$-channel and $T_c$ is enhanced by a large DOS. The main featuresdistinguishing these ideas from more standard theories based onantiferromagnetic correlations are here discussed.Comment: RevTex, 7 pages, 5 figures are available on reques
