1 The hierarchy problem
In the standard model, the weak scale is not stable against radiative corrections: v EW 10−16 ??? MPlanck ≈
Proposed possible solutions:
Technicolor model (or its Ads/CFT version: Higgsless model)
Supersymmetry
Warped Extra Dimension
2 Randall-Sundrum model
2 −2ky µ ν 2 The 5-dimensional geometry is: ds = e ηµν dx dx dy −
c=1.4 c=-0.4 Gluon 1'st KK
UV IR
Need a Goldberger-Wise field φ propagating in the bulk to stabilize the distance between the IR and UV branes
The large hierarchy is given:
2 TeV − 4 k vIR ∼ = e m2 MPlanck vUV
3 Randall-Sundrum model
A list of unsatisfied points in the RS model:
It does not address how the electroweak symmetry is broken
There is no real dynamical linkage between the MPlanck and H = v = 175 GeV h i EW
There exists a little hierarchy between the KK-scale MKK and vEW . MKK > 2 TeV [Carena, Pontón, Santiago, Wagner] : Little hierarchy problem
4 How the electroweak symmetry is broken?
In the standard model a Higgs doublet with a potential
λ V (H) = m2 HH† + (HH†)2 m2 < 0 2
2 m h T vEW = − 174 GeV H = (0, vEW + ) r λ ≈ √2 the Higgs boson an elementary scalar ↔ Questions: 2 m < 0? v MPlanck ? EW ≪
5 Strong Dynamical Symmetry Breaking
Technicolor Model [Weinberg and Susskind] 3 Q¯ LQR Λ breaks the chiral symmetry Λ = O(100) GeV h i≈ TC TC QL weak doublet and QR singlet vEW Λ ∼ TC vEW /MPlanck is due to “dimensional transmutation” No fundamental scalar
Difficulties (for QCD-like dynamics) satisfying electroweak precision observables like the S parameter generate the top quark mass large enough Possible Solution:
Walking Technicolor (not QCD-like dynamics) [Appelquist, Shrock, Sannio ··· ]
6 Top Condensation [Nambu; Miransky, Tanabashi and Yamawaki]
Top quark is peculiar: the heaviest quark in the SM
the top quark mass mt = 172.4 GeV is not far from vEW 174 GeV ≈ the RG running equation of the top Yukawa coupling shows an infrared fixed point for the top quark mass [Pendleton and Ross; Hill]
Therefore
the electroweak breaking may be from ¯tL tR h i = Top Condensation ⇒

The coupling of the KK gluon to fermions can be much larger than the zero mode.
The 4-fermion operator generated by integrating out the first KK gluon can be over the critical coupling in the NJL model and induce top condensation, if the top quark is localized very close to the IR brane.

The NJL analysis is only trustable in the large Nc approximation.
The Casimir energy generated by gauge boson loops can dominate the potential from top condensation and shift the VEV of radion. This can be suppressed by introducing “inert" fermions to match the d.o.f of bosons.
The non-calculable contributions to the radion potential through the IR tension, which are sensitive to the UV completion of the 5D theory, may be linked to the cosmological constant problem and suppressed by unknown 5D UV physics.
How to understand the interplay of Higgs and radion (dilaton) fields in terms of a 4d effective field theory is unknown now.

27 Conclusions
Randall-Sundrum Model ⇋ Top Condensation
From left to right : the flavor structure of the RS model naturally provides a 4-fermion operator with a large coefficient, which is necessary for top quarks to condense and to break the electroweak symmetry dynamically.
From right to left : the top condensation can stabilize the radion (the distance between the UV and IR branes). Therefore directly links the Planck and the eletroweak scale or the top condensation scale. All together
A complete story from the Planck scale to the weak scale is known.
The Kaluza-Klein scale ( 35 TeV) is predicted to be about two orders of magnitude ∼ above the electroweak scale.
In a realistic model constructed, three new particles below 10 TeV: heavy Composite Higgs ( 500 GeV), heavy top quark ( 2 TeV) and light radion ( 1 GeV). ∼ ∼ ∼
