The Nontrivial Vacuum Structure of an Extended $t\bar{t}$ BEH (Higgs) Bound State

Abstract

In a recent reformulation of top-quark condensation for the Brout-Englert-Higgs boson we introduced an extended internal wave-function, $\varphi (r)$. We show how this leads to a manifestly Lorentz invariant formalism, where the absence of ``relative time'' is a gauge invariance of the bilocal field theory. This dictates a novel and nontrivial Lorentz invariant vacuum structure for the BEH boson, the relativistic generalization of a condensed matter state analogous to a BCS condensate.
