  The search for realistic one-dimensional (1D) models that exhibit dominant
superconducting (SC) fluctuations effects has a long history. In these 1D
systems, the effects of commensurate band fillings--strongest at
half-filling--and electronic repulsions typically lead to a finite charge gap
and the favoring of insulating density wave ordering over superconductivity.
Accordingly, recent proposals suggesting a gapless metallic state in the
Holstein-Hubbard (HH) model, possibly superconducting, have generated
considerable interest and controversy, with the most recent work demonstrating
that the putative dominant superconducting state likely does not exist. In this
paper we study a model with non-local electron-phonon interactions, in addition
to electron-electron interactions, this model unambiguously possesses dominant
superconducting fluctuations at half filling in a large region of parameter
space. Using both the numerical multi-scale functional renormalization group
for the full model and an analytic conventional renormalization group for a
bosonized version of the model, we demonstrate the existence of dominant
superconducting (SC) fluctuations. These dominant SC fluctuations arise because
the spin-charge coupling at high energy is weakened by the non-local
electron-phonon interaction and the charge gap is destroyed by the resultant
suppression of the Umklapp process. The existence of the dominant SC pairing
instability in this half-filled 1D system suggests that non-local
boson-mediated interactions may be important in the superconductivity observed
in the organic superconductors.
