Natural top-bottom mass hierarchy in composite Higgs models

Journal Article · · Physical Review D
We consider composite two-Higgs doublet models based on gauge-Yukawa theories with strongly interacting fermions generating the top-bottom mass hierarchy. The model features a single "universal" Higgs-Yukawa coupling, $$g$$, which is identified with the top quark $$g\equiv g_t \sim \mathcal{O}(1)$$. The top-bottom mass hierarchy arises by soft breaking of a $$\mathbb{Z}_2$$ symmetry by a condensate of strongly interacting fermions. A mass splitting between vector-like masses of the confined techni-fermions controls this top-bottom mass hierarchy. This mechanism can be present in a variety of models based on vacuum misalignment. For concreteness, we demonstrate it in a composite two-Higgs scheme.
