Dynamical symmetry breaking in warped compactifications - art. no. 075006

We study dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking in the Randall-Sundrum sce nario. We show that one extra dimension is enough to give the correct patte rn of electroweak symmetry breaking in a simple model with gauge bosons and the right-handed top quark in the bulk. The top quark mass is also in agre ement with experiment. Furthermore, we propose an extended scenario with al l standard model gauge bosons and fermions propagating in the bulk, which n aturally accommodates the fermion mass hierarchies. No new fields or intera ctions beyond those observed in the standard model are required.
