Dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking with top quark and neutrino condensates
Recently it has been suggested that the electroweak symmetry is broken by a top quark vacuum condensate. In that model, the prediction for the top quark mass seems to be in conflict with indirect experimental upper bounds. We propose a new scenario in which the electroweak symmetry is broken by a combination of top quark and third generation neutrino condensates, involving a right- handed gauge singlet neutrino. We show that the top quark mass comes out smaller in this model and can easily lie in the experimentally favored window. The resulting neutrino spectrum is phenomenologically acceptable if we make the natural assumption that the right handed neutrino has a very large Majorana mass.
