D-branes at Singularities and String Phenomenology
arXiv:0711.2451 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysbps.2007.06.009
Abstract
In these notes we give an introduction to some of the concepts involved in constructing SM-like gauge theories in systems of branes at singularities of CY manifolds. These notes are an expanded version of lectures given by Herman Verlinde at the Cargese 2006 Summer School.
24 pages, 5 figures, based on lectures of H.Verlinde at the Cargese 2006 summer school
