Continuing our recent work hep-th/0411173, we study the statistics of four-dimensional, supersymmetric intersecting D-brane models in a toroidal orientifold background. We have performed a vast computer survey of solutions to the stringy consistency conditions and present their statistical implications with special emphasis on the frequency of Standard Model features. Among the topics we discuss are the implications of the K-theory constraints, statistical correlations among physical quantities and an investigation of the various statistical suppression factors arising once certain Standard Model features are required. We estimate the frequency of an MSSM like gauge group with three generations to be one in a billion.

  1. Balanced Metrics Know About SYZ

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Ambient balanced metric coefficients on Calabi-Yau manifolds decay as |ψ|^{-f(α)} near the large complex structure limit, and the exponent function's Legendre transform gives the dual tropical potential expected from SYZ.

  2. Dark Monopoles, Bounds on Hidden Sectors, and Cosmological Implications

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Hidden-sector magnetic monopoles with symmetry-breaking scales above roughly 100 PeV over-close the Universe unless diluted by inflation or an early matter-dominated phase.
