چکیده
We rederive and discuss the result of the previous paper that in the standard model θ-term related to W-boson field can not be induced by weak instantons. This follows from the existence of the fermion zero mode in the instanton field even when Yukawa couplings are switched on and there are no massless particles. We consider the new index theorem connecting the topological charge of the weak gauge field with the number of fermion zero modes of a certain differential operator which depends not only on gauge but also on Higgs fields. The possible generalizations of the standard model are discussed which lead to nonvanishing weak θ-term. In SU (2) L ×SU (2) R model the θ dependence of the vacuum energy is computed.

We consider dyon configurations in the standard electroweak model. In the presence of a θ term and no fermions, the usual result q = (n+ θ/2π)e is obtained for the electric charge spectrum. The effect of including standard model fermions is discussed qualitatively.

We describe how isospin splitting and techniquark-technilepton splitting in one-family technicolor models can reduce the predicted value of the electroweak radiative correction parameter S, without making a large contribution to the T parameter.
