Abstract

I consider the possibility that electroweak symmetry is broken by a strongly interacting chiral gauge theory. I argue that some of the discrepancies between precision electroweak measurements and the predictions of QCD-like technicolor models can be resolved if technicolor is a chiral gauge theory. I present a toy technicolor model which demonstrates this idea, and gives mtmb m_t \gg m_b, with a small value for ΔραT\Delta\rho_* \equiv \alpha T , and small corrections to ZbbZ \rightarrow b \overline{b}.
