Abstract: (Elsevier)
We consider radiative corrections to the parameter S characterizing “oblique” corrections to electroweak interactions from representations of electroweak interactions which preserve a custodial SU (2) symmetry. Our primary goal is to demonstrate that the contribution to S can take either sign. We consider two general cases, one with scalars and one with fermions. The most interesting example is scalar representations, which we will show can quite generally a negative contribution to S . For the class of fermion representations we consider, S can also be negative, although larger mass splittings between custodial SU (2) representations are required.- electroweak interaction: radiative correction

- symmetry: SU(2)
- new particle: effect
