Abstract: A second rank antisymmetric tensor field is proposed as an alternative to the Higgs scalar. No mass term is allowed by the symmetries. At the scale where the asymptotically free chiral couplings of the fermions grow large, condensates of top-antitop and bottom-antibottom may induce the spontaneous breaking of the electroweak gauge symmetry. This would solve the gauge hierarchy problem by dimensional transmutation, similar to QCD.
