Abstract

We present holographic descriptions of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking models that incorporate the top mass generation mechanism. The models allow computation of the spectrum in the presence of large anomalous dimensions due to walking and strong Nambu–Jona-Lasinio interactions. Technicolor and QCD dynamics are described by the bottom-up Dynamic AdS/QCD model for arbitrary gauge groups and numbers of quark flavors. An assumption about the running of the anomalous dimension of the quark bilinear operator is input, and the model then predicts the spectrum and decay constants for the mesons. We add Nambu–Jona-Lasinio interactions responsible for flavor physics from extended technicolor, top-color, etc., using Witten’s multitrace prescription. We show the key behaviors of a top condensation model can be reproduced. We study generation of the top mass in (walking) one doublet and one family technicolor models and with strong extended technicolor interactions. The models clearly reveal the tensions between the large top mass and precision data for δρ. The necessary tunings needed to generate a model compatible with precision constraints are simply demonstrated.
