▪ Abstract We provide a pedagogical introduction to a recently studied class of phenomenologically interesting string models known as Intersecting D-Brane Models. The gauge fields of the Standard Model are localized on D-branes wrapping certain compact cycles on an underlying geometry, whose intersections can give rise to chiral fermions. We address the basic issues and also provide an overview of the recent activity in this field. This article is intended to serve non-experts with explanations of the fundamental aspects of string phenomenology and also to provide some orientation for both experts and non-experts in this active field.

Cosmic strings and superstrings (2009, background): “gs, there must be no space-ﬁlling branes, but this is a potential problem — space-ﬁlling branes play an important role in model building; the low energy phenomenology seems to rely on their presence (Blumenhagen et al 2005). This implies that macroscopic strings can have at best indirect interaction”

Lectures on F-theory compactifications and model building (2010, background): “Note that in principle one can also consider fibrations of the elliptic curves P1,1,2[4] or P1,1,1[3] (called E7- and, respectively, E6-fibrations) and their generalizations.”

Anomaly cancellation and abelian gauge symmetries in F-theory (2012, methodology): “The discussion of anomalies and their cancellation in Type II orientifold setups has been studied significantly in the past, as can be found in the reviews [16, 17, 18, 19].”
GUTs in Type IIB Orientifold Compactifications (2008, background): “The adjoint of SO(12) decomposes into SU(5)× U(1)a × U(1)b representations as [66] = [24](0,0) + [1](0,0) + [10](2,0) + [10](−2,0) + [5](1,−1) + [5](−1,1) +[5](1,1) + [5](−1,−1).”
