We describe a deconstructed Higgsless model in which electroweak symmetry breaking results largely from a Higgsless mechanism while the top quark mass is generated by a topcolor mechanism. The top quark mass arises from a Yukawa coupling to…
We consider massive deformation of $U(2)$ gauge bosons in a recently developed holonomy formalism and propose a novel electroweak model. The massive gauge bosons arise from massive deformation of spinor momenta, which implies that the mass…
Electroweak symmetry breaking is explored in a two Higgs doublet model based on a six dimensional $SU(4)$ gauge-Higgs unification compactified on an orbifold $T^2/Z_2$. The remarkable property of this model is a prediction of realistic weak…
The precise renormalizable interactions in the bosonic sector of electroweak theory are intrinsically determined in the autonomous approach to perturbation theory. This proceeds directly on the Hilbert-Fock space built on the Wigner…
