Gauge/gravity dynamics for composite Higgs models and the top mass

Understand

We provide gauge/gravity dual descriptions of the strong coupling sector of composite Higgs models using insights from non-conformal examples of the AdS/CFT correspondence.

• We calculate particle masses and decay constants for proposed Sp(4) and SU(4) gauge theories, where there is the best lattice data for comparison.
• Our results compare favorably to lattice studies and go beyond those due to a greater flexibility in choosing the fermion content.
• That content changes the running dynamics and its choice can lead to sizable changes in the bound state masses.
