An Introduction to Dynamical Electroweak Symmetry Breaking

While this theory is simple and renormalizable, it has a number of shortcomings. First, while the theory can be constructed to accommodate the breaking of electroweak symmetry, it provides no explanation for it – one simply assumes that the potential is of the form in eqn. 2. In addition, in the absence of supersymmetry, quantum corrections to the Higgs mass are naturally of order the largest scale in the theory
