TLDR
In this paper, it was shown that configurations of multiple D-branes related by SU(N) rotations will preserve unbroken supersymmetry, including cases in which two Dbranes are related by a rotation of arbitrarily small angle.About:

Four-dimensional string compactifications with D-branes, orientifolds and fluxes
TL;DR: In this paper, a review article provides a pedagogical introduction to various classes of chiral string compactifications to four dimensions with D-branes and fluxes with the main concern being 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.

Flux Compactification
Michael R. Douglas,Shamit Kachru +1 more
TL;DR: A survey of the landscape of string and M theory vacua can be found in this article, where the authors discuss the potential for testable consequences of this picture, such as observable effects of moduli, constraints on early cosmology, and predictions for the scale of supersymmetry breaking.

Tasi lectures on D-branes
TL;DR: The first two thirds of these lectures closely follow the earlier ITP lectures hep-th/9602052, written with S. Chaudhuri and C. Johnson as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward realistic intersecting d-brane models
TL;DR: In this paper, a pedagogical introduction to a recently studied class of phenomenologically interesting string models known as Intersecting D-Brane Models is provided, where 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.

Dirichlet Branes and Ramond-Ramond charges.
TL;DR: It is shown that D-branes, extended objects defined by mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions, break half the supersymmetries of the type II superstring and carry a complete set of electric and magnetic Ramond-Ramond charges.
Journal ArticleDOI
String theory dynamics in various dimensions
TL;DR: The strong coupling dynamics of string theories in dimension d ⩾ 4 are studied in this paper, where it is argued that eleven-dimensional supergravity arises as a low energy limit of the ten-dimensional Type IIA superstring.

Unity of superstring dualities
Chris Hull,Paul K. Townsend +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the effective action for type II string theory compactified on a six-torus is N = 8 supergravity, which is known to have an E7 duality symmetry.

Superstrings with Torsion
TL;DR: In this paper, the conditions for spacetime supersymmetry of the heterotic superstring in background with arbitrary metric, torsion, Yang-Mills and dilaton expectation values are determined using the sigma model approach.
