Structure of electroweak corrections due to extended gauge symmetries

Abstract

This paper studies models with extended electroweak gauge sectors of the form $\mathrm{SU}(2)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\mathrm{SU}(2)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}U(1)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}[\mathrm{SU}(2)orU(1)].$ We establish the general behavior of corrections to precision electroweak observables in this class of theories and connect our results to previous work on specific models whose electroweak sectors are special cases of our extended group.
