Four-dimensional String Compactifications with D-Branes, Orientifolds and Fluxes
read the original abstract
This review article provides a pedagogical introduction into various classes of chiral string compactifications to four dimensions with D-branes and fluxes. The main concern is to provide all necessary technical tools to explicitly construct four-dimensional orientifold vacua, with the final aim to come as close as possible to the supersymmetric Standard Model. Furthermore, we outline the available methods to derive the resulting four-dimensional effective action. Finally, we summarize recent attempts to address the string vacuum problem via the statistical approach to D-brane models.

Quark hierarchies and CP violation from the Siegel modular group
A benchmark model using genus-2 modular invariance generates quark mass hierarchies and CP violation via moduli VEVs near invariant points, with mass ratios vanishing in the symmetric limit and mixing angles reproduced.

Quantum obstructions for $N=1$ infinite distance limits -- Part I: $g_s$ obstructions
Non-perturbative g_s corrections obstruct perturbative Type IIB descriptions and can remove classical infinite distance degenerations in asymptotic regions of the complex structure moduli space.
