Abstract

We complete the list of one loop renormalization group equations and matching conditions relevant for the computation of the electroweak precision parameters SS and TT in the three site Higgsless model. We obtain one-loop formulas for SS and TT expressed in terms of physical observables such as the KK gauge boson mass MWM_{W'}, the KK fermion mass MM, and the KK gauge boson (WW') couplings with light quarks and leptons gWffg_{W'ff}. It is shown that these physical observables, MWM_{W'}, MM and gWffg_{W'ff} are severely constrained by the electroweak precision data. Unlike the tree level analysis on the ideally delocalized fermion, we find that perfect fermiophobity of WW' is ruled out by the precision data. We also study the cutoff dependence of our analysis. Although the model is non-renormalizable, the dependence on the cutoff parameter Λ\Lambda is shown to be non-significant.
