Depending on this dimensionality it may happens that $m_f$ does not depend on $M$ at all. We show that exactly in this case $m_f$ may reach its largest value, which is almost saturated by the top quark mass. We make few comments on the question of how large can be a dynamically generated fermion mass.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-08-21T15:08:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "12.60.Nz", "12.10.Dm" ], "keywords": [ "fermion masses", "technicolor models", "fermion mass generation", "quark mass", "largest value" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
