摘要：Dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking (DEWSB) has been a viable option for the completion
of the standard model for over thirty years. Precision electroweak studies indicate that the new
strong interactions that break EW symmetry cannot be a scaled-up copy of QCD. Building viable
models of DEWSB is difficult without a detailed understanding of such non-QCD gauge theories
which still confine and break chiral symmetry. We review past difficulties of studying these
theories using lattice methods and describe recent progress, focusing on the role of approximate
infrared conformal symmetry.
