A Four-site Higgsless Model with Wavefunction Mixing

Abstract

Motivated by models of holographic technicolor, we discuss a four-site deconstructed Higgsless model with nontrivial wavefunction mixing. We compute the spectrum of the model, the electroweak triple gauge boson vertices, and, for brane-localized fermions, the electroweak parameters to O(M^2_W/M^2_rho). We discuss the conditions under which "S" vanishes (even for brane-localized fermions) and the (distinct but overlapping) conditions under which the phenomenologically interesting decay a_1 to W gamma is non-zero and suppressed by only one power of M_W/M_rho.
