Yukawa coupling structure in intersecting D-brane models

Abstract

The structure of Yukawa coupling matrices is investigated in type IIA T-6/(Z(2) x Z(2)) orientifold models with intersecting D-branes. Yukawa coupling matrices are difficult to be made realistic in conventional models in which the generation structure emerges by the multiple intersection of D-branes in the factorized T-6 = T-2 x T-2 x T-2. We study the new type of favor structure, where Yukawa couplings are dynamically generated, and show this type of models lead to non-trivial structures of Yukawa coupling matrices, which can be realistic.
