Twenty years of extensive research has yet to produce a general consensus onthe origin of high temperature superconductivity (HTS). However, severalgeneric characteristics of the cuprate superconductors have emerged as theessential ingredients of and/or constraints on any viable microscopic model ofHTS. Besides a Tc of order 100K, the most prominent on the list include ad-wave superconducting gap with Fermi liquid nodal excitations, a d-wavepseudogap with the characteristic temperature scale T*, an anomalousdoping-dependent oxygen isotope shift, nanometer-scale gap inhomogeneity, etc..The key role of planar oxygen vibrations implied by the isotope shift and otherevidence, in the context of CuO2 plane symmetry and charge constraints from thestrong intra-3d Coulomb repulsion U, enforces an anharmonic mechanism in whichthe oxygen vibrational amplitude modulates the strength of the in-plane Cu-Cubond. We show, within a Fermi liquid framework, that this mechanism can lead tostrong d-wave pairing and to a natural explanation of the salient features ofHTS
