Scientific paper

Topological interactions are an essential ingredient for building consistent low-energy theories of fermions, gauge fields and Nambu-Goldstone bosons in the absence of explicit UV completions, such as in Little Higgs models. These interactions are also a probe of UV completion physics that may be out of direct experimental reach. The technology of topological, or Wess-Zumino-Witten interactions is described, using explicit examples in the standard model and in Little Higgs models. The construction of a simple topological action on SU(3)/SU(2) is described. Inconsistencies in some popular Little Higgs models are pointed out.
