OBLIQUE RADIATIVE CORRECTIONS IN THE VECTOR CONDENSATE MODEL OF ELECTROWEAK INTERACTIONS

Oblique radiative corrections are calculated to the parameter $S$ in a version of the standard model where the Higgs doublet is replaced by a doublet of vector bosons and the gauge symmetry is broken dynamically. We show that to each momentum scale there exists a domain of the masses of charged and neutral vector bosons where $S$ is compatible with the experiments. At a scale of 1 TeV this requires vector boson masses of at least $m_0 \approx$ 400--550 GeV, $m_+ \approx$ 200--350 GeV.
