Abstract

In this paper we compute the one-loop chiral logarithmic corrections to all O(p4) counterterms in the three site Higgsless model. The calculation is performed using the background field method for both the chiral- and gauge-fields, and using Landau gauge for the quantum fluctuations of the gauge fields. The results agree with our previous calculations of the chiral-logarithmic corrections to the S and T parameters in 't Hooft-Feynman gauge. The work reported here includes a complete evaluation of all one-loop divergences in an SU(2) x U(1) nonlinear sigma model, corresponding to an electroweak effective Lagrangian in the absence of custodial symmetry.
