Abstract
By interpreting various experimental data for the new high temperature FeAs type superconductors in terms of lattice mediated multigap superconductivity, it is shown that these systems strongly resemble MgB2, however, with the distinction that local polaronic lattice effects exist. This fact establishes a connection to cuprate high temperature superconductors where polaron formation is essential for the pseudogap phase and the unconventional isotope effects observed there. However, similarly to MgB2 and in contrast to cuprates, the two superconducting gaps in the Fe-As based materials are isotropic s-wave gaps.
