  We study a theory of electroweak symmetry breaking without a Higgs boson,
recently suggested by Csaki et al. The theory is formulated in 5D warped space
with the gauge bosons and matter fields propagating in the bulk. In the 4D dual
picture, the theory appears as the standard model without a Higgs field, but
with an extra gauge group G which becomes strong at the TeV scale. The strong
dynamics of G breaks the electroweak symmetry, giving the masses for the W and
Z bosons and the quarks and leptons. We study corrections in 5D which are
logarithmically enhanced by the large mass ratio between the Planck and weak
scales, and show that they do not destroy the structure of the electroweak
gauge sector at the leading order. We introduce a new parameter, the ratio
between the two bulk gauge couplings, into the theory and find that it allows
us to control the scale of new physics. We also present a potentially realistic
theory accommodating quarks and leptons and discuss its implications, including
the violation of universality in the W and Z boson couplings to matter and the
spectrum of the Kaluza-Klein excitations of the gauge bosons. The theory
reproduces many successful features of the standard model, although some
cancellations may still be needed to satisfy constraints from the precision
electroweak data.
