itly included in the effective Lagrangian are much heavthan those appearing in it. The dependence on the spemodel is contained in the coefficients of higher-dimensiooperators. So far only the oblique corrections have beenlyzed in this way.

Our purpose in this work is to extend these techniquethe matter sector of the standard model. We shall writeleading nonuniversal operators, determine how their coecients affect different physical observables, and then demine their value in two very general families of moels: those containing elementary scalars and those withnamical symmetry breaking. Since the latter become nonturbative at theMZ scale, effective Lagrangian techniquare called for anyway. In short, we would like to provide ttheoretical tools required to test—at least in principlewhether the mechanism giving masses to quarks and feons is the same as that which makes the intermediate vebosons massive or not without having to get involved inspecific details of particular models. This is mostly a theretical paper, and we shall leave for a later work a mdetailed comparison with the current data.

II. EFFECTIVE LAGRANGIAN APPROACH

Let us start by briefly recalling the salient features of teffective Lagrangian analysis of the oblique corrections.

Including only those operators which are relevant for olique corrections, the effective Lagrangian reads~see, e.g.,@9,10# for the complete Lagrangian!

and T5Ut3U†. Only terms up to orderO(p4) have beenincluded. The reason is that dimensional counting argumsuppress, at presently accessible energies, higdimensional terms, under the hypothesis that all undeteparticles are much heavier than those included in the eftive Lagrangian. While the first term on the right-hand si~RHS! of Eq. ~1! is universal~in the unitary gauge it is justhe mass term for theW6 andZ bosons!, the coefficientsa0 ,a1 , anda8 are nonuniversal. In other words, they dependthe specific mechanism responsible for the symmetry breing. @Throughout this paper the term ‘‘universal’’ mean

‘‘independent of the specific mechanism triggering SU~2!L3SU~2!R→SU~2!V breaking.’’#

Most Z-physics observables relevant for electrowephysics can be parametrized in terms of vector and acouplingsgV and gA . These are, in practice, flavor depedent since they include vertex corrections which dependthe specific final state. Oblique corrections are, however,same for all final states. The nonuniversal~but generation-independent! contributions togV and gA coming from theeffective Lagrangian~1! are

They do depend on the specific underlying breaking mecnism through the values of theai . It should be noted thathese coefficients depend logarithmically on some unknoscale. In the minimal standard model the characteristic sis the Higgs boson massMH . In other theories the scaleMHwill be replaced by some other scaleL. A crucial predictionof chiral perturbation theory is that the dependence on thdifferent scales is logarithmic and actually the same. Itthus possible to eliminate this dependence by building sable combinations ofgV and gA @11,12# determined by thecondition of the absence of logarithms. Whether this liintersects or not the experimentally allowed region is a dirtest of the nature of the symmetry breaking sector, indepdently of the precise value of Higgs boson mass~in the mini-mal standard model! or of the scale of new interactions~inother scenarios!.1

One could also try to extract information about the indvidual coefficientsa0 , a1 , anda8 themselves, and not onlyon the combinations canceling the dependence on theknown scale. This necessarily implies assuming a specvalue for the scaleL, and one should be aware that wheconsidering these cutoff-dependent quantities there are fiuncertainties of the order of 1/16p2 associated with the subtraction procedure—an unavoidable consequence of usineffective theory, which is often overlooked.~And recall thatusing an effective theory is almost mandatory in dynamisymmetry breaking models.! Only finite combinations ofcoefficients have a universal meaning. The subtraction suncertainty persists when trying to find estimates ofabove coefficients via dispersion relations and the like@13#.

In the previous analysis it is assumed that the hypothetnew physics contributions from vertex corrections are copletely negligible. But is it so? The way to analyze suvertex corrections in a model-independent way is quite silar to the one outlined for the oblique corrections. We shintroduce in the next section the most general effectivegrangian describing the matter sector. In this sector ther

Nonuniversal operators carrying in their coefficients infomation on the mechanism giving masses to leptonsquarks will be of dimension 4 and higher.

We shall later derive the values of the coefficients corsponding to operators in the effective Lagrangian of dimsion 4 within the minimal standard model in the largeMHlimit and see how the effective Lagrangian provides a cvenient way of tracing the Higgs boson mass dependencphysical observables. We shall later argue that nondecpling effects should be the same in other theories involvelementary scalars, such as, e.g., the two-Higgs-doumodel, replacingMH by the appropriate mass.

Large nondecoupling effects appear in theories ofnamical symmetry breaking, and thus they are likely to pduce large contributions to the dimension-4 coefficientsthe scale characteristic of the extended interactions~i.e.,those responsible for the fermion mass generation! is muchlarger than the scale characteristic of the electroweak bring, it makes sense to parametrize the former, at least atenergies, via effective four-fermion operators.2 We shall as-sume here that this clear separation of scales does takeand only in this case are the present techniques really arate. The appearance of pseudo Goldstone bosons~abundantin models of dynamical breaking! may thus jeopardize ouconclusions, as they bring a relatively light scale into tgame~typically even lighter than the Fermi scale!. In fact,for the observables we consider that their contribution istoo important, unless they are extremely light. For instancpseudo Goldstone boson of 100 GeV can be accommodwithout much trouble, as we shall later see.

The four-fermion operators we have just alluded to cinvolve either four ordinary quarks or leptons~but we willsee that dimensional counting suggests that their contribuwill be irrelevant at present energies with the exceptionthose containing the top quark! or two new~heavy! fermionsand two ordinary ones. This scenario is quite natural in seral extended technicolor~ETC! or top condensate~TopC!models@14,15#, in which the underlying dynamics is charaterized by a scaleM. At scalesm,M the dynamics can bemodeled by four-fermion operators~of either technifermions

2While using an effective theory description based on fofermion operators alone frees us from having to appeal to anyticular model, it is obvious that some information is lost. This issturns out to be a rather subtle one and shall be discussed andtified in turn.

We shall concentrate in the case where technifermappear in ordinary representations of SU~2!L3SU~3!c ~hy-percharge can be arbitrary!. The classification will then beexhaustive. We shall discuss other representations asalthough we shall consider custodially preserving operaonly, and only those operators which are relevant for opurposes.

As a matter of principle, we have tried not to make aassumptions regarding the actual way different generatare embedded in the extended interactions. In practice, wpresenting our numerical plots and figures, we are assumthat the appropriate group-theoretical factors are similarall three generations of physical fermions.

It has been our purpose in this paper to be as generapossible, not advocating or trying to put forward any particlar theory. Thus the analysis may, hopefully, remain usebeyond the models we have just used to motivate the plem. We hope to convey to the reader our belief that a stematic approach based on four-fermion operators andeffective Lagrangian treatment can be very useful.

These are the operators of lowest dimensionality which are nonuniversal.other words, their coefficients will contain information owhatever mechanism nature has chosen to make quarksleptons massive. Of course, operators of dimensionality 5and so on will be generated at the same time. We shallto these later.

While mQ is, at least naively, expected to be.LTC andtherefore similar for all flavors, there should be a hierarcfor M. As will be discussed in the following sections, thscaleM which is relevant for the mass generation~encodedin the only dimension-3 operator in the effective Lagranian!, via techniquark condensation and ETC interactionchange~Fig. 1!, is the one normalizing chirality-flipping operators. On the contrary, the scale normalizing dimensiooperators in the effective theory is the one that normalichirality-preserving operators. Both scales need not beactly the same, and one may envisage a situation with rtively light scalars present where the former can be mulower. However, it is natural to expect thatM should at anyrate be smallest for the third generation. Consequently,contribution to thed i ’s from the third generation should blargest.

We should also discuss dimension-5 -6, etc., operaand why we need not include them in our analysis. Letwrite some operators of dimension 5:

One only needs to worry about SM diagrams that arepresent in the effective theory, namely, those containingHiggs boson. The rest of the diagrams give exactly the saresult, thus dropping from the matching. In contrast, the dgrams containing a Higgs propagator are described by loterms~such asL4

renormalized u-fermion self-energy has residue 11d res,whered res in given in Eq.~D17! of Appendix D. Therefore,in order to evaluateS-matrix elements involving externalulines at one loop, one has to multiply the corresponding aputated Green functions by a factor 11nd res/2, wheren isthe number on externalu lines ~in the case under consideation n52!. One can check that when this factor is takinto account, thed7 appearing in the renormalizedS-matrixvertex are canceled.

We notice thatd1 andd2 indeed correspond to custodialpreserving operators, whiled3 to d6 do not. All these coef-ficients ~just asa0 , a1 , and a8! are ultraviolet divergent.This is so because the Higgs particle is an essential ingrent to guarantee the renormalizability of the standard moOnce this is removed, the usual renormalization proc~e.g., the on-shell scheme! is not enough to render a‘‘renormalized’’ Green functions finite. This is why the bacoefficients of the effective Lagrangian~which contribute tothe renormalized Green functions either directly or via coterterms! have to be proportional to 1/e to cancel the newdivergences. The coefficients of the effective Lagrangianmanifestly gauge invariant.

What is the value of these coefficients in other theorwith elementary scalars and a Higgs-like mechanism? Tissue has been discussed in some detail in@20# in the contextof the two-Higgs-doublet model, but it can actually be etended to supersymmetric theories~provided of course scalars other than theCP-even Higgs can be made heavenough; see, e.g.,@21#!. It was argued there that nondecopling effects are exactly the same as in the minimal standmodel, including the constant nonlogarithmic piece. Sinthe d i coefficients contain all the nondecoupling effectssociated with the Higgs particle at the first nontrivial orderthe momentum or mass expansion, the low-energy effectheory will be exactly the same.

In the minimal standard model all the Higgs dependeat the one-loop level~which is the level of accuracy assumehere! is logarithmic and is contained in theai andd i coeffi-cients. Therefore one can easily construct linear combtions of observable where the leading Higgs dependencecels. These combinations allow for a test of the minimstandard model independent of the actual value of the Hboson mass.

Let us now review the comparison with current eletroweak data for theories with dynamical symmetry breing. Some confusion seems to exist on this point, so let usto analyze this issue critically.

A first difficulty arises from the fact that at theMZ scaleperturbation theory is not valid in theories with dynamicbreaking and the contribution from the symmetry breaksector must be estimated in the framework of the effectheory, which is nonlinear and nonrenormalizable. Obseable will depend on some subtraction scale.~Estimates basedon dispersion relations and resonance saturation amounpractice, to the same, provided that due attention is paithe scale dependence introduced by the subtraction indispersion relation.!

A somewhat related problem is that, when making usethe variablesS, T and U @13#, or e1 , e2 , and e3 @24#, oneoften sees in the literature bounds on possible ‘‘new phics’’ in the symmetry breaking sector without actually rmoving the contribution from the standard model higgs bson that the ‘‘new physics’’ is supposed to replace~this isnot the case, e.g., in@13# where this issue is discussed wisome care!. Unless the contribution from the ‘‘new physics

is enormous, this is a flagrant case of double counting, buis easy to understand why this mistake is made: removthe Higgs boson makes the standard model nonrenormable, and the observable of the standard model withoutHiggs boson depend on some arbitrary subtraction scale

In fact, the two sources of arbitrary subtraction scales~theone originating from the removal of the Higgs boson andone from the effective action treatment! are one and the samand the problem can be dealt with the help of the coefficieof higher-dimensional operators in the effective theory~i.e.,the ai andd i!. The dependence on the unknown subtractscale is absorbed in the coefficients of higher-dimensiooperators and traded by the scale of the ‘‘new physicCombinations of observable can be built where this sc~and the associated renormalization ambiguities! drops.These combinations allow for a test of the ‘‘new physicindependently of the actual value of its characteristic scIn fact, they are the same combinations of observable whthe Higgs dependence drops in the minimal standard mo

In adtion, the technicolor prediction should be considered accurate oat the 15% level due to the theoretical uncertainties discussed intext ~this error is at any rate smaller than the one associated withuncertainty inL!. Notice that the oblique corrections, in the casedegenerate masses, are independent of the value of the techmion mass.

small vertex corrections arising from the symmetry-breaksector anyway and it is consistent to ignore them and ccentrate in the oblique corrections. However, this is notsituation in dynamical symmetry-breaking models. We wsee in the next sections that for the second and third gention vertex corrections can be sizable. Thus, if we wantcompare experiment to oblique corrections in models ofnamical breaking, we have to concentrate on electron cplings only.

In Fig. 3 we see the prediction of the minimal standamodel for 170.6,mt,180.6 GeV and 70,MH,1000GeV, including the leading two-loop corrections@23#, fallingnicely within the experimental 1-s region for the electroneffective couplings. In this and in subsequent plotspresent the data from the combined four LEP experimeonly. What is the actual prediction for a theory with dynamcal symmetry breaking? The straight solid lines correspto the prediction of a QCD-like technicolor model withnTC52 andnD54 ~a one-generation model! in the case whereall technifermion masses are assumed to be equal~we follow@9#: see@25# for related work!, allowing the same variationfor the top quark mass as in the standard model. We dotake into account here the contribution of potentially prespseudo Goldstone bosons, assuming that they can be mheavy enough. The corresponding values for theai coeffi-cients in such a model are given in Appendix E andderived using chiral quark model techniques and chiral pturbation theory. They are scale dependent in such a wato make observables finite and unambiguous, but of couobservables depend in general on the scale of ‘‘new phics’’ L.

We move along the straight lines by changing the scaleL.It would appear at first sight that one needs to go to un

ceptably low values of the new scale to actually penetrate1-s region, something which looks unpleasant at first sig~we have plotted the part of the line for 100<L<1500 GeV!, as one expectsL;Lx . In fact, this is notnecessarily so. There is no real prediction of the effecttheory along the straight lines, because only combinatiowhich areL-independent are predictable. As for the locatinot along the line, butof the line itself, it is in principlecalculable in the effective theory, but of course subject touncertainties of the model one relies upon, since we are ding with a strongly coupled theory.~We shall use chiralquark model estimates in this paper as we believe that tare quite reliable for QCD-like theories: see the discussbelow.!

If we allow for a splitting in the technifermion masses, thcomparison with experiment improves very slightly. The vues of the effective Lagrangian coefficients relevant foroblique corrections in the case of unequal masses aregiven in Appendix E. Sincea1 is independent of the technifermion dynamically generated masses anyway, the depdence is fully contained ina0 ~the parameterT of Peskin andTakeuchi@13#! and a8 ~the parameterU!. This is shown inFig. 4. We assume that the splitting is the same for all dblets, which is not necessarily true.6

If other representations of the SU~2!L3SU~3!c gaugegroup are used, the oblique corrections have to be modiin the form prescribed in Sec. VIII. Larger group-theoreticfactors lead to larger oblique corrections and, from this po

of view, the restriction to weak doublets and color singletstriplets is natural.

Let us close this section by justifying the use of chiquark model techniques, trying to assess the errors involand at the same time emphasizing the importance of hathe scale dependence under control. A parameter likea1 ~orS in the notation of Peskin and Takeuchi@13#! contains in-formation about the long-distance properties of a stroncoupled theory. In fact,a1 is nothing but the familiarL10parameter of the strong chiral Lagrangian of GasserLeutwyler @26# translated to the electroweak sector. Thstrong interaction parameter can be measured, and it is foto beL105(25.660.3)31023 ~at them5Mh scale, whichis just the conventional reference value and plays no sperole in the standard model!. This is almost twice the valuepredicted by the chiral quark model@27,28# (L10521/32p2), which is the estimate plotted in Fig. 3. Doethis mean that the chiral quark model grossly underestimthis observable? Not at all. Chiral perturbation theory pdicts the running ofL10. It is given by

Then the coefficientL10 ~or a1 forthat matter! predicted within the chiral quark model agrewith QCD at the 10% level.

Let us now turn to the issue of vertex corrections in theries with dynamical symmetry breaking and the determition of the coefficientsd i , which are, after all, the focal poinof this work.

VI. NEW PHYSICS AND FOUR-FERMION OPERATORS

In order to have a picture in our mind, let us assume tat sufficiently high energies the symmetry-breaking seccan be described by some renormalizable theory, perhanon-Abelian gauge theory. By some unspecified mechansome of the carriers of the new interaction acquire a mLet us generically denote this mass byM. One type of modelthat comes immediately to mind is the extended technicoscenario.M would then be the mass of the ETC bosons. Lus try, however, not to adhere to any specific mechanismmodel.

Below the scaleM we shall describe our underlyintheory by four-fermion operators. This is a convenient wof parametrizing the new physics belowM without needingto commit oneself to a particular model. Of course, the nuber of all possible four-fermion operators is enormous aone may think that any predictive power is lost. This is nso because of two reasons:~a! The size of the coefficients othe four-fermion operators is not arbitrary. They are costrained by the fact that at scaleM they are given by

where jCG is built out of Clebsch-Gordan factors andG agauge-coupling constant, assumed perturbative ofO~1! at thescaleM. The jCG, being essentially group-theoretical fators, are probably of similar size for all three generatioalthough not necessarily identical as this would assumparticular style of embedding the different generations ithe large ETC~for instance! group. Notice that for four-fermion operators of the formJ•J†, whereJ is some fermionbilinear, jCG has a well-defined sign, but this is not so fother operators.~b! It turns out that only a relatively smalnumber of combinations of these coefficients do actuallypear in physical observables at low energies.

Matching to the fundamental physical theory atm5Mfixes the value of the coupling constants accompanyingfour-fermion operators to the value~69!. In addition, contactterms, i.e., nonzero values for the effective coupling costantsd i , are generally speaking required in order for tfundamental and four-fermion theories to match. These wlater evolve under the renormalization group due to the pence of the four-fermion interactions. Because we expectM@Lx , the d i will be typically logarithmically enhancedNotice that there is no guarantee that this is the case forthird generation, as we will later discuss. In this case theand ETC dynamics would be tangled up~which for mostmodels is strongly disfavored by the constraints on obliqcorrections!. For the first and second generations, howevthe logarithmic enhancement of thed i is a potentially largecorrection and it actually makes the treatment of a funmental theory via four-fermion operators largely independof the particular details of specific models, as we will see

Let us now get back to four-fermion operators and pceed to a general classification. A first observation is thwhile in the bosonic sector custodial symmetry is just brokby the small U~1!Y gauge interactions, which is relativelsmall, in the matter sector the breaking is not that small.thus have to assume that whatever underlying new physicpresent at scaleM it gives rise both to custodially preservinand custodially nonpreserving four-fermion operators wcoefficients of similar strength. Obvious requirementsHermiticity, Lorentz invariance, and SU~3!c3SU~2!L3U~1!Y symmetry. NeitherC nor P invariance are imposedbut invariance underCP is assumed.

We are interested ind56 four-fermion operators constructed with two ordinary fermions~either leptons orquarks!, denoted byqL , qR , and two fermionsQL

A , QRA .

~for instance! get contributions from four-fermion operatowhich do have a well-defined sign as well as from othwhich do not.

The use of this basis simplifies the calculations considably as the Dirac structure is simpler. Another obviousvantage of this basis, which will become apparent only lais that it will make it easier to consider the long-distancontributions to thed i , from the region of momentam,Lx .

The classification of the chirality-preserving operatorvolving technileptons is of course simpler. Again, we uFierz rearrangements to write the operators asJ• j . However,in this case only a color singletJ ~and, thus, also a colosinglet j ! can occur. Hence the complete list can be obtainby crossing out from Table III and from the first eight rowof Table I the operators involvinglW . Namely, those designated by lower case letters. We are then left with the toperatorsLW 2, RW 2 from Table III and with the first six rows oTable I: L2, R2, R3R, RR3 , R3

2, RL, R3L, LR, andLR3 . Ifwe choose to work instead with the original basischirality-preserving operators in Table I, we have to suppment these nine operators in the first six rows of the tawith (QLgmqL)(qLgmQL) and (QRgmqR)(qRgmQR), which

presented in the above discussion, are strictly valid onlyfour dimensions. In 422e dimensions, for the identities tohold we need ‘‘evanescent’’ operators@32#, which vanish infour dimensions. However, the replacement of some fofermion operators in terms of others via the Fierz identitiesactually made inside a loop of technifermions and thereforfinite contribution is generated. Thus the two basis will evetually be equivalent up to terms of order

when we move to theJ• j basis. Now it is clear how tomodify the above when using higher representations forQ fields. The first one is already included in our set of cutodially preserving operators, while the second one has tomodified to

LW [~QLgmTW QL!~ qLgmtWqL!, ~84!

whereTW are the SU~2! generators in the relevant represention. In addition, we have the right-handed counterpart,course. We could in principle now proceed to construct ctodially violating operators by introducing suitableT3 andt3

matrices. Unfortunately, it is not possible to present a closet of operators of this type, as the number of independoperators does obviously depend on the dimensionalitythe representation. For this reason we shall only conscustodially preserving operators when moving to higher rresentations, namely,L2, R2, RL, LR, LW 2, andRW 2.

If we examine Tables I, II, and III we will notice that botchirality-violating and chirality-preserving operators appeIt is clear that at the leading order in an expansion in extefermion masses only the chirality-preserving operat~Tables I and III! are important; those operators containiboth aqL and aqR field will be further suppressed by addtional powers of the masses of the fermions and thus sleading. Furthermore, if we limit our analysis to the studythe effectiveW6 andZ couplings, such asgV andgA , as wedo here, chirality-flipping operators can contribute onthrough a two-loop effect. Thus the contribution from tchirality-flipping operators contained in Table II is supressed both by an additional 1/16p2 loop factor and by amQ

2 /M2 chirality factor. If for the sake of the argument wtake mQ to be 400 GeV, the correction will be below orthe 10% level for values ofM as low as 100 GeV. Thisautomatically eliminates from the game operators generthrough the exchange of a heavy scalar particle, but of cothe presence of light scalars, below the mentioned limit, rders their neglection unjustified. It is not clear where simETC models violate this limit~see, e.g.,@33#!. We just as-sume that all scalar particles can be made heavy enoug

Additional light scalars may also appear as pseudo Gstone bosons at the moment the electroweak symmbreaking occurs due toQQ condensation. We had to assumsomehow that their contribution to the oblique correctiwas small~e.g., by avoiding their proliferation and makinthem sufficiently heavy!. They also contribute to vertex corrections~and thus to thed i!, but here their contribution isnaturally suppressed. The coupling of a pseudo Goldstbosonv to ordinary fermions is of the form

Using the same reference values as above, a pseudo Gstone boson of 100 GeV can be neglected.

If the operators contained in Table II are not relevantthe W6 andZ couplings, what are they important for? Afteelectroweak breaking~due to the strong technicolor forces oany other mechanism! a condensateQQ& emerges. Thechirality-flipping operators are then responsible for geneing a mass term for ordinary quarks and leptons. Their loenergy effects are contained in the onlyd53 operator ap-pearing in the matter sector, discussed in Sec. II. We thusthat the four-fermion approach allows for a nice separatbetween the operators responsible for mass generationthose that may eventually lead to observable consequencthe W6 andZ couplings. One may even entertain the posbility that the relevant scale is, for some reason, differentboth sets of operators~or, at least, for some of them!. Itcould, at least in principle, be the case that scalar exchaenhances the effect of chirality-flipping operators, allowifor large masses for the third generation, without giving uacceptably large contributions to theZ effective coupling.Whether one is able to find a satisfactory fundamental thewhere this is the case is another matter, but the four-fermapproach allows one, at least, to pose the problem.

We shall now proceed to determine the constantsd i ap-pearing in the effective Lagrangian after integration of theavy degrees of freedom. For the sake of the discussionshall assume hereafter that technifermions are degeneramass and set their masses equal tomQ . The general case isdiscussed in Appendix E.

VII. MATCHING TO A FUNDAMENTAL THEORY

At the scalem5M we integrate out the heavier degreesfreedom by matching the renormalized Green functions coputed in the underlying fundamental theory to a four-fermiinteraction. This matching leads to the values~69! for thecoefficients of the four-fermion operators as well as topurely short-distance contribution for thed i , which shall bedenoted byd i . The matching procedure is indicated in Fi5. It is perhaps useful to think of thed i as the value that thecoefficients of the effective Lagrangian take at the matchscale, as they contain the information on modes of frequcies m.M . The d i will be, in general, divergent; i.e., thewill have a pole in 1/e. Let us see how to obtain these coe

at very high energies our theory is described by a gatheory. Therefore we have to add to the standard modelgrangian~already extended with technifermions! the follow-ing pieces:

TheEm vector boson~of massM! acts in a large flavor groupspace which mixes ordinary fermions with heavy ones.@Thenotation in Eq.~87! is somewhat symbolic as we are nimplying that the theory is vector like; in fact, we do nassume anything at all about it.#

The quantityDd i(m/M ) can be computed in perturbatiotheory down to the scaleLx where the residual interactionlabeled by the indexA become strong and confine the tecnifermions. The leading contribution is given by a looptechnifermions.

To determine such contribution it is necessary to demthat the renormalized Green functions match when compuusing explicitly the degrees of freedomQL , QR and whentheir effect is described via the effective Lagrangian coecients d i . The matching procedure is illustrated in Fig.The scalem of the matching must be such thatm,M , butsuch thatm.Lx , where perturbation theory in the techncolor coupling constant starts being questionable.

where we have kept the logarithmically enhanced contrition only and have neglected any other possible conspieces.d i is the singular part ofd i . The finite parts ofd i areclearly very model dependent~cf., for instance, the previousdiscussion on evanescent operators! and we cannot possiblytake them into account in a general analysis. Accordingwe ignore all other terms in Eq.~93! as well as those finitepieces generated through the Fierzing procedure~see discus-sion in the previous section!. Keeping the logarithmicallyenhanced terms therefore sets the level of accuracy ofcalculation. We will call Eq.~92! the short-distance contribution to the coefficientd i . General formulas for the caswhere the two technifermions are not degenerate in macan be found in Appendix E.

Notice that the final short-distance contribution to thed i

is ultraviolet finite, as it should be. The divergences ind i areexactly matched by those inDd i . The pole ind i combinedwith singularity inDd i provides a finite contribution.

There is another potential source of corrections to thed istemming from the renormalization of the four-fermion copling constantG2/M2 ~similar to the renormalization of theFermi constant in the electroweak theory due to gluonchange!. This effect is, however, subleading here. The reais that we are considering technigluon exchange onlyfour-fermion operators of the formJ• j , where, again,j ~J!stands for a~heavy! fermion current~which gives the leadingcontribution, as discussed!. The fields carrying technicolohave the same handedness, and thus there is no multiptive renormalization and the effect is absent.

Of course, in addition to the short-distance contributithere is a long-distance contribution from the region of in

This bringsmQ somewhat downwards, buthe decrease is only logarithmic. We shall therefore takemQto be in the range 250–450 GeV. We shall allow for a msplitting within the doublets too. The splitting within eacdoublet cannot be too large, as Fig. 4 shows. For simplicwe shall assume an equal splitting of masses for all doub

IX. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Let us first summarize our results so far. The values ofeffective Lagrangian coefficients encode the informatabout the symmetry breaking sector that is~and will be in thenear future! experimentally accessible. Thed i are thereforethe counterpart of the oblique corrections coefficientsai ,and they have to be taken together in precision analysithe standard model, even if they are numerically less signcant.

These effective coefficients apply toZ physics at LEP, topquark production at the Next Linear Collider, measuremeof the top decay at the Collider Detector at Fermilab~CDF!,or indeed any other process involving the third generat~where their effect is largest!, provided the energy involvedis below 4pv, the limit of applicability of chiral techniques~Of course, chiral effective Lagrangian techniques fail wbelow 4pv if a resonance is present in a given channel:also @36#.!

In the standard model thed i are useful to keep track of thlogMH dependence in all processes involving either neuor charged currents. They also provide an economicalscription of the symmetry-breaking sector, in the sensethey contain the relevant information in the low-energygime, the only one testable at present. Beyond the stanmodel the new physics contributions is parametrized by fofermion operators. By choosing the number of doublets,mQ ,M, andLx suitably, we are in fact describing in a single sha variety of theories: extended technicolor~commuting andnoncommuting!, walking technicolor @37# or top-quark-assisted technicolor, provided that all remaining scalarspseudo Goldstone bosons are sufficiently heavy.

The accuracy of the calculation is limited by a numberapproximations we have been forced to make and whhave been discussed at length in previous sections. In p

tice, we retain only terms which are logarithmically ehanced when running fromM to mQ , including the long-distance part, below Lx . The effective Lagrangiancoefficientsd i are all finite at the scaleLx , the lower limitof applicability of perturbation theory. Below that scale thrun following the renormalization group equations of tnonlinear theory and new divergences have to be subtrac7

These coefficients contain finally the contribution froscalesM.m.mQ , the dynamically generated mass of thtechnifermion@expected to be ofO(LTC).# In view of thetheoretical uncertainties, to restrict oneself to logarithmicaenhanced terms is a very reasonable approximation wshould capture the bulk of the contribution.

Let us now proceed to a more detailed discussion ofimplications of our analysis. Let us begin by discussingvalue that we should take forM, the mass scale normalizinfour-fermion operators. Fermion condensation gives a mto ordinary fermions via chirality-flipping operators of ord

Thus, while^QQ& is universal, there is an inverse relatiobetweenM2 andmf . In QCD-like theories this leads to thfollowing rough estimates for the massM @the subindex re-fers to the fermion which has been used in the left-hand s~LHS! of Eq. ~105!#

Me;105 TeV, Mm;10 TeV, Mb;3 TeV. ~107!

If taken at face value, the scale forMb is too low: even theone for Mm may already conflict with current bounds oFCNC, unless they are suppressed by some other mechain a natural way. Worse, the top quark mass cannot besonably reproduced by this mechanism. This well-knoproblem can be partly alleviated in theories where techcolor walks or invoking top quark color or a similar mechnism@38#. ThenM can be made larger andmQ , as discussedsomewhat smaller. For theories which are not vector like,above estimates become a lot less reliable.

However, one should not forget that none of the foufermion operators playing a role in the vertex effective coplings participates at all in the fermion mass determinatiIn principle, we can then entertain the possibility that trelevant mass scale for the latter should be lower~perhapsbecause they get a contribution through scalar exchange

7The divergent contribution coming from the standard modeld i ’shas to be removed, though, as discussed in Sec. V, so the differis finite and would be fully predictable had we good theoreticontrol on the subleading corrections. At present onlyO(nTC ,nD) contribution is under reasonable control.

Even in this case itseems just natural thatMb ~the scale-normalizing chiralitypreserving operators for the third generation, that is! is lowand not too different fromLx . Thus the logarithmic en-hancement is pretty much absent in this case and some oapproximations made become quite questionable in this c~Although even for theb couplings there is still a relativelylarge contribution to thed i ’s coming from long-distance contributions.! Put in other words, unless an additional mechnism is invoked, it is not really possible to make definestimates for theb effective couplings without getting intothe details of the underlying theory. The flavor dynamics aelectroweak breaking are completely entangled in this cIf one only retains the long-distance part~which is what wehave done in practice!, we can, at best, make order-omagnitude estimates. However, what is remarkable in ais that this does not happen for the first and second gention vertex corrections. The effect of flavor dynamics cthen be encoded in a small number of coefficients.

We shall now discuss in some detail the numerical csequences of our assumptions. We shall assume the avalues for the mass scaleM; in other words, we shall placeourselves in the most disfavorable situation. We shall opresent results for QCD-like theories andnD54 exclusively.For other theories the appropriate results can be very eaobtained from our formulas. For the coefficientsaLW 2, aR3R ,

Doingwould provide us with a four-fermion effective theory thwould exactly reproduce all the available data. It is obviohowever, that the result would not be very satisfactoWhile the outcome would, most likely, be coefficientsO~1! for the electron couplings, they would have to beO(1021), perhaps smaller for the bottom. Worse, the samasses we have used lead to unacceptably low values fotop quark mass~105!. Allowing for a different scale in thechirality-flipping operators would permit a large top quamass without affecting the effective couplings. Taking thisa tentative possibility, we can pose the following problemeasure the effective couplingsd i for all three generationsand determine the values of the four-fermion operator coficients and the characteristic mass scale that fits thebest. In the degenerate mass limit we have a total of 8knowns@5 of them coefficients, expected to be ofO~1!# and18 experimental values~three sets of thed i!. A similar exer-cise could be attempted in the chirality-flipping sector. If tsolution to this exercise turned out to be mathematically csistent ~within the experimental errors!, it would be ex-tremely interesting. A negative result would certainly ruout this approach. Notice that dynamical symmetry breakpredicts the patternd i;mf , while in the standard modeld i

We should end with some words of self-criticism. It maseem that the previous discussion is not too conclusivethat we have managed only to rephrase some of the lostanding problems in the symmetry breaking sector. Hoever, theraison d’etre of the present paper is not really tpropose a solution to these problems, but rather to establtheoretical framework to treat them systematically. Expeence from the past shows that often the effects of new phics are magnified and thus models are ruled out on this baonly to find out that a careful and rigorous analysis leasome room for them. We believe that this may be the casdynamical symmetry-breaking models, and we believethat only through a detailed and careful comparison withexperimental data will progress take place.

The effective Lagrangian provides the tools to look for‘‘existence proof’’ ~or otherwise! of a phenomenologicallyviable, mathematically consistent dynamical symmetbreaking model. We hope that there will be any time sosufficient experimental data to attempt to determine the fofermion coefficients, at least approximately.

DmU52U~DmU !†U. ~A1!

Apart from the obvious structureDmU which transform asUdoes, we immediately realize that the particular form ofGRimplies the following simple transformations for the combnationsUt3U† and (DmU)t3U†:

Ut3U†U†°GLUt3U†GL† , ~A2!

~DmU !t3U†°GL~DmU !t3U†GL† . ~A3!

Keeping all these relations in mind, we simply write dowall the possibilities forcGc and find the list of operators~8!–~15!. It is worth mentioning that there appears toanother family of four operators in which theU matrices alsooccur within a trace:cGc tr G8. One can check, howeverthat these are not independent. More precisely,

Note thatL47 ~as well asLR8 discussed above! can be re-

APPENDIX C: FOUR-FERMION OPERATORS

The complete list of four-fermion operators relevant fthe present discussion is in Tables I and II in Sec. VI. Italso explained in Sec. VI the convenience of Fierzingoperators in the last seven rows of Table I in order to wthem in the formJ• j . Here we just give the list that comeout naturally from our analysis, Tables I and II, without futher physical interpretation. The list is given for fermiobelonging to the representation3 of SU~3!c ~techniquarks!.By using Fierz transformations one can easily find out retions among some of these operators when the fermionscolor singlet~technileptons!, which is telling us that some othese operators are not independent in this case. A lisindependent operators for technileptons is also given in SVI.

Let us outline the procedure we have followed to obtthis basis in the~more involved! case of colored fermions.

There are only two color singlet structures one can buout of four fermions, namely,

~ cc!~c8c8![cacacb8cb8 ~C1!

~ clW c!•~ c8lW c8![ca~lW !abcb•cg8~lW !gdcd8 , ~C2!

wherec stands for any field belonging to the representat3 of SU~3!c ~c will be either q or Q!, a,b, . . . , arecolorindices, and the primes~8! remind us thatc andc carry sameadditional indices@Dirac, SU~2!, . . . #.

Next, we clasify the Dirac structures. Sincec is eithercL@it belongs to the representation~1

2,0! of the Lorentz group#or cR @representation~0,1

2!#, we have five sets of fields toanalyze, namely,

$cL ,cL ,cL8cL8% @R↔L#, $cL ,cL ,cR ,cR%, ~C3!

$cL ,cR ,cL8 ,cR8 % @R↔L#. ~C4!

There is only an independent scalar we can build with eof the three sets in Eq.~C3!. Our choice is

cLsmncRcRsmncL . However, Fierz symmetry implies thathe first three are not independent, and the fourth one vishes, as can be also seen using the identity 2ismng5

cLcRcL8cR8 @R↔L#, ~C7!

Again, there appear to be four other scalar operatocLsmncRcL8smncR8 @R↔L#, cLsmncR8 cL8smncR @R↔L#,which, nevertheless, can be shown not to be independenrelated to Eqs.~C7! and ~C8! by Fierz symmetry. To sum-marize, the independent scalar structures are Eqs.~C5!, ~C6!,~C7!, and~C8!.

Next, we combine the color and the Dirac structures. Wdo this for the different cases~C5!–~C8! separately. For op-erators of the form~C5!, we have the two obvious possibilities ~hereafter, color and Dirac indices will be implicit!

All them are independent unless further [email protected].,SU~2!L3SU~2!R# are introduced.

To introduce the SU~2!L3SU~2!R symmetry, one just assigns SU~2! indices~i, j, k, . . . ! to each of the fields in Eqs~C9!–~C14!. We can drop the primes hereafter since thereno other symmetry left but technicolor, which for the preseanalysis is trivial~recall that we are only interested in foufermion operators of the formQQqq; thus, technicolor indi-ces must necessarily be matched in the obvious wQAQAqq!. For each of the operators in Eqs.~C9! and~C10!,there are two independent ways of constructing SU~2!L3SU~2!R invariants. Only two of the four resulting operatoturn out to be independent~actually, the other two are exactly equal to the first ones!. The independent operators achosen to be

For each of the operators in Eqs.~C11!–~C14!, the samestraightforward group analysis shows that there is onlyway to construct an SU~2!L3SU~2!R invariant. Discardingthe redundant operators and imposing hermiticity andCPinvariance, one finally has, in addition to the operators~C15!and ~C16!, those listed below@from now on, we understandthat fields in parenthesis have their Dirac, color, and aflavor indices contracted as in Eq.~C15!#:

We are now in a position to obtain very easily the cusdially preserving operators of Tables I and II. We simpreplacec by q andQ ~a pair of each: a field and its conjugate! in all possible independent ways.

To break the custodial symmetry we simply insertt3 ma-trices in theR sector of the custodially preserving operatowe have just obtained~left columns of Tables I and II!. How-ever, not all the operators obtained this way are indepensince one can prove the following relations:

wherenTC is the number of technicolors~taken equal to 2 inall numerical discussions!, andnD is the number of techni-doublets. It is interesting to note that all effective Lagrangcoefficients~except fora1! depend onnD and are independent of the actual hypercharge~or charge! assignment.nQandnL are the actual number of techniquarks and techniltons. In the one-generation modelnQ53, nL51, and, conse-quently,nD54. Furthermore, in this modela1 is mass inde-pendent. For simplicity, we have writtenm1 for thedynamically generated mass of theu-type technifermion andm2 for the one of thed-type, and assumed that they are tsame for all doublets. This is of course quite questionablea large splitting between the technielectron and tenineutrino seems more likely and they should not necessacoincide with techniquark masses, but the appropriatepressions can be easily inferred from the above formuanyway:

We have not bothered to write the chiral divergence counterms in the above expressions. They are identical to thosSec. VIII. Although we have written the full expressions otained using chiral quark model methods, one should be waware of the approximations made in the text.
