FLAVOR CONSTRAINTS ON THEORY SPACE

Composite Higgs models based on the chiral symmetries of ``theory space'' can produce Higgs bosons with masses of order 100 GeV from underlying strong dynamics at scales up to 10 TeV without fine tuning. This talk argues that flavor-violating interactions generically arising from underlying flavor dynamics constrain the Higgs compositeness scale to be at least 75 GeV, implying that significant fine-tuning is required. Bounds from CP violation and weak isospin violation are also discussed
