Isospin Breaking and the Top-Quark Mass in Models of Dynamical Electroweak Symmetry Breaking

Abstract

In this talk we review the physics of top-quark mass generation in models of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking and the constraints on this physics arising from limits on the deviation of the weak interaction $\rho$-parameter from one. We then discuss top-color assisted technicolor in this context.
