Abstract

We utilize the tools of the gauge/gravity correspondence in order to investigate electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB). For quite some time now, a walking technicolor sector has been viewed by phenomenologists as a very promising alternative to the Higgs boson. Unfortunately however, no precise computations have been possible since in the technicolor gauge theory EWSB is due to strong-coupling dynamics. Using recent developments in the gauge/gravity duality, we construct a gravity dual of a walking technicolor model and aim to compute the Peskin-Takeuchi S-parameter, which is an observable that can distinguish between a Higgs and a technicolor sector.
