Electroweak symmetry breaking as a consequence of compact dimensions
arXiv:hep-ph/9812349 · doi:10.1016/S0370-2693(99)00839-4
Abstract
It has been shown recently that the Higgs doublet may be composite, with the left-handed top-bottom doublet and a new right-handed anti-quark as constituents bound by some four-quark operators with nonperturbative coefficients. I show that these operators are naturally induced if there are extra space dimensions with a compactification scale in the multi-TeV range. The Higgs compositness is due mainly to the Kaluza-Klein modes of the gluons, while flavor symmetry breaking may be provided by various fields propagating in the compact dimensions. I comment briefly on the embedding of this scenario in string theory.
10 pages, latex. Two paragraphs, on the nature of the phase transition (page 4) and flavor symmetry breaking (page 5), are expanded
