Symmetrization of the Coulomb pairing potential by electron-phonon interaction

It is shown that the Coulomb superconducting pairing in systems with the Fermi contour nesting can be described by a quasi-one-dimensional potential oscillating in real space. The supplement of this repulsive potential with an isotropic pairing attraction corresponding to the phonon superconductivity mechanism and including the effect of predominant forward scattering upon electron-phonon interaction leads to symmetrization of this potential and a considerable increase in the superconducting transition temperature.
