Top-color jungle gym: An alternative to the seesaw mechanism

Abstract
We discuss an alternative to the top-color seesaw mechanism. In our scheme, all the light quarks carry top-color, and there are many composite SU(2) doublets. This makes it possible to get the observed t quark mass and observed SU(2)×U(1) breaking in a way that is quite different from the classic seesaw mechanism. We discuss a model of this kind that arises naturally in the context of dynamically broken top-color. There are many composite scalars in a theory of this kind. This has important effects on the Pagels-Stokar relation and the Higgs boson mass. We find mHiggs330GeV, lighter than in typical top-color models. We also show that the electroweak singlet quarks in such a model can be lighter than the corresponding quarks in a seesaw model.
