The Nontrivial Vacuum Structure of an Extended BEH (Higgs) Bound State
Christopher T. Hill
In a recent reformulation of top-quark condensation for the Brout-Englert-Higgs boson we introduced an extended internal wave-function, . We show how this leads to a manifes…
Quantum Aspects of Natural Top Quark Condensation
Christopher T. Hill
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 tre…
Natural Top Quark Condensation (a Redux)
Christopher T. Hill
The Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model involves a pointlike 4-fermion interaction. While it gives a useful description of chiral dynamics (mainly in QCD), it nonetheless omits the cru…
A New-Old Approach to Composite Scalars with Chiral Fermion Constituents
Christopher T. Hill
We develop a dynamical, Lorentz invariant theory of composite scalars in configuration space consisting of chiral fermions, interacting by the perturbative exchange of a massive "g…
