Description

The four-fermi interaction can play an important role in models of strong dynamical EW symmetry breaking if the anomalous dimension of the four-fermi operators becomes large in the IR. The anomalous dimension can be computed nonperturbatively using a Schroedinger functional formalism. We present a computation of the four-fermi anomalous dimension for the SU(2) gauge theory with two flavors of Dirac fermions in the adjoint representation.
