Tasi 2009 lectures: The Higgs as a Composite Nambu-Goldstone Boson
read the original abstract
This is an introduction to theories where the Higgs is a composite Nambu-Goldstone boson of a new strongly-interacting dynamics not much above the weak scale. A general discussion is presented based on the pattern of global symmetries at low energy, and the analogy with the QCD pion is analyzed. The last part of the lectures shows how a composite Higgs can emerge as the hologram of a 5-dimensional gauge field.

Consistent Scattering Amplitudes, Yang-Mills, the Higgs Mechanism and the EFTs Beyond
S-matrix consistency forces the complete gluon amplitude structure and requires Yang-Mills Lie algebra plus Higgs mechanism for unitarised massive vector boson scattering.

Weak Scale Triggers in the SMEFT
No weak scale triggers exist in the SMEFT up to dimension six (and likely eight) that can solve the hierarchy problem far above the weak scale.

Fundamental or Composite? The Higgs Enigma
Determining if the Higgs is composite would invalidate much of heterotic string model building and favor other quantum gravity approaches, best tested at a 50-60 TeV hadron collider.

Fundamental or Composite? The Higgs Enigma
Questions if the Higgs is fundamental or composite, arguing that compositeness would invalidate much of heterotic string model building and proposing a 50-60 TeV hadron collider to investigate.
