We construct asymptotically free gauge theories exhibiting dynamical breaking of the left-right, strong-electroweak gauge group $G_{LR} = {\rm SU}(3)_c \times {\rm SU}(2)_L \times {\rm SU}(2)_R \times {\rm U}(1)_{B-L}$, and its extension to…
Mirror fermions with masses around the weak scale could break dynamically the electroweak symmetry if they were coupled with a new strong interaction. The purpose of this talk is to show what sort of dynamics are needed in order to render…
Recently, realistic theories of electroweak symmetry breaking have been constructed in which the electroweak symmetry is broken by boundary conditions imposed at a boundary of higher dimensional spacetime. These theories have equivalent 4D…
I will argue why and how it is that precise measurements of the self-couplings of the weak vector bosons are a vista on the mechanism of symmetry breaking. Guided by what we have learnt from the present precision data, it is suggested which…
We study a model in which the electroweak symmetry is dynamically broken by technicolor interactions and the symmetry-breaking is communicated to the quarks and leptons by a weak doublet of scalar fields. The scalars may be regarded as…
I review recent theoretical work on electroweak symmetry breaking.
We report first results from the investigation on probing dynamical mechanism of the electroweak symmetry breaking using top quark. We consider the case where the top mass originates from a fermion-antifermion pair condensate, which…
In this talk, I shall address two key issues related to electroweak symmetry breaking. First, how fine-tuned different models are that trigger this phenomenon? Second, even if a light Higgs boson exists, does it have to be necessarily…
A new dynamical symmetry breaking of $SU(2)_{L}\times U(1)$ caused by the combination of the axial-vector component and the fermion mass is found in electroweak theory. We obtain (m^{2}_{W}={1/2}g^{2}m^{2}_{t}) and (m^{2}_{Z}=\rho…
We explore the scenario in which the breaking of the electroweak symmetry is due to the simultaneous presence and interplay of a dynamical sector and an unnatural elementary Higgs. We introduce a low energy effective Lagrangian and…
Precision electroweak data allow one to test the standard model, constrain its parameters, and search for the effects of some kinds of new physics. The results of the most recent data from LEP, SLC, and elsewhere are described, as are their…
The motivations for studying dynamical scenarios of electroweak and flavor symmetry breaking are reviewed and the latest ideas, especially topcolor-assisted technicolor, are summarized. Technicolor's observable low-energy signatures are…
We investigate the phenomenological constraints on a model where, besides the standard model Higgs sector, there is an effective new strong interaction acting on the third generation of quarks and characterized by a $\theta$-like term. This…
We present a model of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking in which the splitting between the top and bottom quark masses arises naturally. The W and Z masses are produced by a minimal technicolor sector, the top quark mass is given by…
In supersymmetric theories with a strong conformal sector, soft supersymmetry breaking naturally gives rise to confinement and chiral symmetry breaking in the strong sector at the TeV scale. We construct and analyze models where such a…
We study the dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking (DEWSB) in the $D (=6,8,...)$-dimensional bulk with compactified extra dimensions. We identify the critical binding strength for triggering the DEWSB, based on the ladder Schwinger-Dyson…
We study the possibility of radiative electroweak symmetry breaking where loop corrections to the mass parameter of the Higgs boson trigger the symmetry breaking in various extensions of the Standard Model (SM). Although the mechanism fails…
Using gauge invariant effective Lagrangians in 1+3 dimensions describing the Standard Model in 1+4 dimensions, we explore dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking. The Top Quark Seesaw model arises naturally, as well as the full CKM…

Dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking (DEWSB) has been a viable option for the completion of the standard model for over thirty years. Precision electroweak studies indicate that the new strong interactions that break EW symmetry cannot…
