Quantum Aspects of Natural Top Quark Condensation
Abstract
In top quark condensation the Brout-Englert-Higgs (BEH) boson is a bound state. With a UV completion of a single coloron exchange interaction, a recent semiclassical treatment gave a novel theory of the BEH boson as an extended object with composite scale TeV. Presently we obtain the semiclassical theory as an effective action, using the source/Legendre transformation techniques of Jackiw, \etal, and fermion loop effects in the large- limit by deploying an auxiliary field to implement the sum of leading fermion loop diagrams. The theory remains natural at the loop level, with fine tuning at the level of a few \%, and the effective coupling of the 4-fermion interaction, , is significantly enhanced by quantum loops over the fundamental coloron coupling, . Hence a relatively weaker ``topcolor'' theory can produce critical coupling in the effective BEH bound state theory.
