Gauge created top quark condensate and heavy top

Abstract

The scalar interaction term of the top mode standard model can be generated by a gauge theory. It is emphasized that in this approach generalization to family space directly yields a heavy top quark while leaving all other quarks massless. By generating the new interaction from gauge extension to custodial $SU(2)$, the standard model bound $m_{top}\stackrel{<}{\sim }200GeV$ is pushed to $m_{top}\stackrel{<}{\sim }270GeV$, thereby significantly reducing the amount of finetuning required to match this number.
