30 brane). In fact, as can be seen by the effective Lagrangian calculation of section V, they do not contribute to the ϵ parameters either. In conclusion, even if the bulk gauge group is different, the phenomenology of the two models is almost identical (the situation changes, however, if fermions are allowed to propagate in the bulk). This is a very interesting conclusion: working with a completely bottom-up approach, starting from an effective 4D theory - the GD-BESS model - and generalizing, we have arrived at a 5D model that quite closely reproduces a particular version of RS1. Among the various TC schemes proposed so far, which have generally difficulties in satisfying the constraints coming from EW precision measurements, the Degenerate BESS model [59], provides a low-energy effective scheme which, taking advantage from a ( SU (2) ⊗ SU (2)) 2 custodial symmetry, leads to a suppressed contribution from the new physics to the EW observables. This feature allows new vector bosons, interpreted as com- posites of a strongly interacting sector, at a relatively low energy scale (around a TeV). The interpretation of the D-BESS as a four-site ”moose” model, makes the generalization to N sites natural [39, 60]. Due to the correspondence at low energy between theories with replicated 4D gauge symmetries G and theories with a 5D gauge symmetry G on a lattice, via the deconstruction technique, in this paper we have considered the continuum limit of the D-BESS model to a 5D theory. Working in the framework suggested by the AdS/CFT correspondence, we have considered for the fifth dimension a segment ending with two branes. The boundary conditions, to be imposed on the branes, emerge univocally from the deconstruction. The 5D-DBESS model is described by a SU (2)$_{L}$ ⊗ SU (2)$_{R}$ gauge theory in the bulk with boundary kinetic terms, broken both spontaneously and by boundary conditions. By choosing the geometry of the fifth dimension as a slice of AdS$_{5}$, we find that the 5D-DBESS model can be related to a realization of the RS1 model [5] with EW gauge fields propagating in the bulk and having brane kinetic terms localized on the infrared brane [20]. The gauge particle content of the theory consists of two charged sectors, left (including W ) and right, and one neutral (including photon and Z ). The effective low energy 4D Lagrangian is obtained by means of the holographic tech- VII. CONCLUSIONS
