It was found that electron correlation and electron-phonon coupling compete against each other, and strong electron correlations suppress the charge-ordered insulating state. This allows extended polarons to form in the strong electron-phonon coupling regime. It is shown that in this regime two polarons may form a pair via phonon mediated charge-fluctuation interaction. Based on the results we propose a novel mechanism of hole pairing. This mechanism could be relevant to High-Tc cuprates.9 pages, 9 figuresStrongly Correlated ElectronsSuperconductivitytext
