Dynamically broken Topcolor at Large-N

Abstract

We analyze a model of dynamically broken topcolor in the limit in which the number of colors is large. We show that the second order nature of the phase transition, necessary for the success of topcolor models, passes the nontrivial check of consistency with the large N limit. We also identify and discuss a class of theories that generalizes the topcolor phenomenon to a theory with a richer structure of fermions and global symmetries.
