One of the most challenging hurdles to the construction of realistic composite Higgs models is the generation of Yukawa couplings for the Standard Model fermions. This problem can be successfully addressed in approximate conformal theories that admit a marginally relevant mixing between composite fermionic operators and the SM fermions. I argue that SU(3) gauge theories with light Dirac flavors in the fundamental representation feature all the ingredients under theoretical control, including a strongly-coupled IR fixed point, composite partners for all Standard Model fermions, absence of Landau poles at low energy, and a realistic phenomenology. These models acquire the status of compelling UV-completions of the SM if some spin-1/2 baryon operator has scaling dimension close to 2.5 within the conformal window, a possibility that can only be assessed via non-perturbative methods like lattice QCD. A distinctive collider signature is long-lived hadrons with fractional charges. Vacuum alignment is controlled by the Nambu-Goldstone bosons of the coset SU(4)xSU(4)/SU(4). With a technically natural choice of mixing for the top-quark, the exotic scalars with electro-weak charges acquire large positive masses and a compelling custodial-symmetric phenomenology is obtained. In the decoupling limit the symmetry breaking pattern effectively reduces to SU(4)->Sp(4) with a light Higgs.

We explore an electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) scenario based on the mixture of a fundamental Higgs doublet and an SU(4)/Sp(4) composite pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone doublet -- a particular manifestation of bosonic technicolor/induced EWSB. Taking the
fundamental Higgs mass parameter to be positive, EWSB is triggered by the mixing of the doublets. This setup has several attractive features and phenomenological consequences, which we highlight: i) Unlike traditional bosonic technicolor models, the hierarchy between $Lambda_{rm TC}$ and the electroweak scale depends on vacuum (mis)alignment and can be sizable, yielding an attractive framework for natural EWSB; ii) As the strong sector is based on SU(4)/Sp(4), a fundamental (UV-complete) description of the strong sector is possible, that is informed by the lattice; iii) The lightest vector resonances occur in the 10-plet, 5-plet and singlet of Sp(4). Misalignment leads to a 10-plet parity-doubling cancelation in the $S$ parameter, and a suppressed 5-plet contribution; iv) Higgs coupling deviations are typically of $mathcal O(1%)$; v) The 10-plet isotriplet resonances decay dominantly to a massive technipion and a gauge boson, or to technipion pairs, rather than to gauge boson or fermion pairs; moreover, their couplings to fermions are small. Thus, the bounds on this setup from conventional heavy-vector-triplet searches are weak. A supersymmetric $U(1)_R$ symmetric realization is briefly described.
We consider the strong dynamics associated with a composite Higgs model that simultaneously produces dynamical axions and solves the strong CP problem. The strong dynamics arises from a new $Sp$ or $SU(4)$ hypercolor gauge group containing QCD colore
d hyperfermions that confines at a high scale. The hypercolor global symmetry is weakly gauged by the Standard Model electroweak gauge group and an enlarged color group, $SU(N+3) times SU(N)$. When hyperfermion condensates form, they not only lead to an $SU(5)/SO(5)$ composite Higgs model but also spontaneously break the enlarged color group to $SU(3)_c times SU(N)_D$. At lower energies, the $SU(N)_D$ group confines, producing two dynamical axions that eliminates all CP violation. Furthermore, small instantons from the $SU(N)$ group can enhance the axion mass, giving rise to TeV scale axion masses that can be detected at collider experiments. Our model provides a way to unify the composite Higgs with dynamical axions, without introducing new elementary scalar fields, while also extending the range of axion masses that addresses the strong CP problem.
Any extension of the standard model that aims to describe TeV-scale physics without fine-tuning must have a radiatively-stable Higgs potential. In little Higgs theories, radiative stability is achieved through so-called collective symmetry breaking.
In this letter, we focus on the necessary conditions for a little Higgs to have a collective Higgs quartic coupling. In one-Higgs doublet models, a collective quartic requires an electroweak triplet scalar. In two-Higgs doublet models, a collective quartic requires a triplet or singlet scalar. As a corollary of this study, we show that some little Higgs theories have dangerous singlets, a pathology where collective symmetry breaking does not suppress quadratically-divergent corrections to the Higgs mass.
The discovery of the Higgs boson has put considerable pressure on theories that aim to solve the hierarchy problem. Scenarios in which the Higgs is a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson (NGB) of some new strong dynamics must possess a number of non-generic
features in order to pass the progressively stringent collider bounds and simultaneously meet our naturalness criteria. Among these features are the existence of light fermionic partners of the top quark and an efficient collective breaking of the Nambu-Goldstone symmetry. The top partners have to be not only parametrically lighter than the other composites, but also weakly coupled to them in order to suppress unwanted flavor-violating effects. A Natural pseudo-NGB Higgs model should also be able to fit the LHC Higgs data without fine-tuning. Among theories with comparable compositeness scales, those that predict smaller corrections in the Higgs couplings to the standard model particles are therefore preferred. A concrete implementation of these ingredients is discussed in a scenario based on the coset SU(5)/SO(5). The fit to the current LHC Higgs data is significantly improved compared to the minimal scenarios, and a fully natural explanation of both the weak scale and the Higgs boson mass can be attained. An important role is played by an independent quartic Higgs coupling generated by UV-sensitive loops involving electroweak doublets mixing with the top partners. The collider signature of this framework is shown to be rather model-dependent; in particular, the exotic scalars can alter the phenomenology of the top partners at a qualitative level.
Twin Higgs models are economical extensions of the Standard Model that stabilize the electroweak scale. In these theories the Higgs field is a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson that is protected against radiative corrections up to scales of order 5 TeV by
a discrete parity symmetry. We construct, for the first time, a class of composite twin Higgs models based on confining QCD-like dynamics. These theories naturally incoporate a custodial isospin symmetry and predict a rich spectrum of particles with masses of order a TeV that will be accessible at the LHC.
