Description

We study a class of intersecting D-brane models in which fermions localized at different intersections interact via exchange of bulk fields. In some cases these interactions lead to dynamical symmetry breaking and generate a mass for the fermions. We analyze the conditions under which this happens as one varies the dimensions of the branes and of the intersections.
