Dynamical stabilization of the Fermi scale. Towards a composite universe (Q455374)

This book or e-book is a review of various models which can be used to deal with what the author calls riddles, which show the standard model is incomplete. The consequence of this being that there is new physics waiting to be discovered. These riddles include the fine tuning problem, the size of the neutron dipole moment, and the explanation of mass generations. General questions are posed such as: Why are there so many different interactions; what is the origin of dark and bright matter; what is the explanation of the matter-antimatter asymmetry? The models presented are attempts to make inroads into these problems using 4-dimensional strongly coupled theories. Since we have ``strong coupling'' perturbation techniques are problematical. The chapters form technical reviews of the models and consequently they are much more than an introduction to the models.
