  abstract={The critical temperature and oxygen isotope effect <i>alpha</i> are calculated for
high-Tc cuprate superconductors suing a recent interlayer pair tunneling
model proposed bo explain high temperature superconductivity. This model of
Chakravarty <i>et al.</i> is based on an amplification of the pairing
mechanism within the planes of the unit cell by a "hopping" of Cooper pairs
between layers. Several strengths of interlayer pair tunneling are examined
as well as the dependence of Tc and <i>alpha</i> on doping. For both
isotropic and anisotropic models of in-plane electron-phonon coupling high
transition temperatures and small values of <i>alpha</i> are obtained for
reasonable strengths of pair tunneling.},
