Abstract
Abrikosov's recent suggestion of high-temperature electron-hole superconductivity is analyzed in detail. It is shown that without umklapp scattering, hole-lattice stability requirements lead to a vanishingly small transition temperature, , for the model proposed. If umklapp and intervalley processes contribute, can be raised significantly. The Rajagopal determination of the reduction of from renormalization and Coulomb effects is shown to be overestimated.
