The salient features of models of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking are reviewed. The ideal walking idea is introduced according to which one should carefully take into account the effects of the extended technicolor dynamics on the…
The electroweak chiral Lagrangian for the topcolor assisted technicolor model proposed by K. Lane, which uses nontrivial patterns of techniquark condensation and walking, was investigated in this study. We found that the features of the…
In extended technicolor (ETC) theories, while the sideways ETC boson exchange decreases the width $\Gamma_b \equiv \Gamma (Z\rightarrow b \bar{b})$, the flavor-diagonal ETC boson exchange tends to increase it, and the ETC-corrected $R_b…
We consider a supersymmetric QCD with soft supersymmetry breaking terms as the dynamics for the electroweak symmetry breaking. We find various advantages compared to the non-supersymmetric models, such as a natural incorporation of the…
Conventional technicolor models with light charged technipions ($\pi ^{\pm} _T$) lead to an unacceptably large contribution to $t\ra {\pi ^+_T} b$ decay rate. Topcolor-assisted technicolor models also have additional PGBs called top-pions…
In the context of topcolor-assisted technicolor (TC2) models, we consider the process $e^{+}e^{-}\to \nu\bar{\nu}\gamma$ and calculate the cross section of this process at leading order.It is shown that the extra U(1) gauge boson…
In usual extended technicolor (ETC) theories based on the group ${\rm{SU}(N_{ETC}})_{ETC}$, the quarks of charge 2/3 and -1/3 and the charged leptons of all generations arise from ETC fermion multiplets transforming according to the…
We consider the question of vacuum alignment in the recently proposed "composite technicolor" (CTC) models. In order for these models to work, an "ultrafermion" condensate must align in a particular way, driven by the competition between…
In scenarios that stabilize the electroweak scale, the top quark is typically accompanied by partner particles. In this work, we demonstrate how extended stabilizing symmetries can yield scalar or fermionic top partners that transform as…
The top-pions($\Pi^{0,\pm}$) and the top-Higgs($H_{TC}$) are the typical particles predicted by the topcolor-assisted technicolor (TC2) model and the observation of these particles can be regarded as the direct evidence of the TC2 model. In…
We consider a minimal technicolor model in which the ordinary and technicolor sectors are coupled by a {\it massless} scalar doublet. When technicolor interactions become strong, the resulting technicolor condensate not only breaks the…
We explain general features of the tightly bound composite Higgs models proposed in recent years; walking technicolor, strong ETC technicolor, and a top quark condensate, etc.. These models are all characterized by the large anomalous…
We study diagonal and transition quark dipole operators in a class of extended technicolor (ETC) models, taking account of the multiscale nature of the ETC gauge symmetry breaking and of the mixing among ETC interaction eigenstates. Because…
We propose a renormalizable model with no fundamental scalars which breaks itself in the manner of a "tumbling" gauge theory down to the standard model with a top-quark condensate. Because of anomaly cancellation requirements, this model…
A brief overview of some of the last decade's developments in the Top-mode/Topcolor class of models is presented. In addition, a new Topcolor type scenario, named Top-Bottom Color, is suggested. A seesaw mechanism with new weak doublet…
The nontrivial boundary conditions (BC's) for the Topcolor breaking are investigated in the context of the TeV-scale extra dimension scenario. In the gauge symmetry breaking mechanism via the BC's we do not need to incorporate a dynamical…
New physics interactions can affect the strength and structure of the $tbW$ vertex. We investigate the magnitudes and phases of "anomalous" contributions to this vertex in a two-Higgs doublet and the minimal supersymmetric extension of the…
In this talk we review the physics of top-quark mass generation in models of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking and the constraints on this physics arising from limits on the deviation of the weak interaction $\rho$-parameter from one.…
We consider the flavor changing neutral current(FCNC) process $e^{+}e^{-}\to\bar{t}c$(or $t\bar{c}$) in the context of topcolor-assisted technicolor(TC2) models. We find that the contributions of charged scalars (technipions and top-pions)…
The role of the top quark in completing the Standard Model quark sector is reviewed, along with a discussion of production, decay, and theoretical restrictions on the top quark properties. Particular attention is paid to the top quark as a…
