Can the Higgs Boson Bootstrap itself?

Abstract

It is pointed out that Higgs bootstrap is inherent in the top-condensate models of Nambu and Bardeen et al in that the ladder sum of Higgs pole diagrams in one channel reproduces a Higgs pole in the crossed-channel. This result is exact whenever color flows simultaneously in both channel directions e.g. for N(sub c)=1. Bootstrap solutions for the Higgs boson mass are obtained that are compatible with the condensate models such as the top-color models which imply large top-Yukawa couplings at the top mass.
