We consider systems of magnetized D9 branes on orbifolds supporting N=1 gauge theories. In such realizations, the matter multiplets arise from twisted strings connecting different stacks of branes. The introduction of Euclidean 5-branes wrapped on the six-dimensional compact space leads to instanton effects. We examine the interplay between the annuli diagrams with an E5 boundary and the holomorphicity properties of the effective low-energy supergravity action which describes the system, including its instanton corrections. Mostly based on arXiv:0709.0245.

String instanton effects in Higgs physics are discussed through a type IIA model based on T^{6}/(Z^{2}times Z^{2}) orentifold compactifaction. By inclusion of rigid E2-branes, the model exhibits a MSSM-like spectrum, as well as extra mu and quartic Higgs couplings. These extra couplings are induced via E2 instantons non-perturbatively. Setting the string scale at 10^{18} GeV, one gets interesting TeV Higgs physics. In particlular, the tree-level Higgs mass can be uplifted substantially.
We clarify the relation between orbifold and interval pictures in 5d brane worlds. We establish this correspondence for Z_2-even and Z_2-odd orbifold fields. In the interval picture Gibbons-Hawking terms are necessary to fulfill consistency conditions. We show how the brane world consistency conditions arise in the interval picture. We apply the procedure to the situation where the transverse dimension is terminated by naked singularities. In particular, we find the boundary terms needed when the naive vacuum action is infinite.
We compute instantonic effects in globally consistent T^6/Z2xZ2 orientifold models with discrete torsion and magnetised D-branes. We consider fractional branes and instantons wrapping the same rigid cycles. We clarify and analyse in detail the low-energy effective action on D-branes in these models. We provide explicit examples where instantons induce linear terms in the charged fields, or non-perturbative mass terms are generated. We also find examples where the gauge theory on fractional branes has conformal symmetry at one-loop, broken by instantonic mass terms at a hierarchically small energy scale.
We discuss physical implications of the four-dimensional effective supergravity, that describes low-energy physics of the Randall--Sundrum model with moduli fields in the bulk and charged chiral matter living on the branes. Cosmological constant can be cancelled through the introduction of a brane Polonyi field and a brane superpotential for the 4d dilaton. We deduce a generalization of the effective 4d action to the case of a general, not necessarily exponential, warp factor. We note, that breakdown of supersymmetry in generic warped models may lead to the stabilization of the interbrane distance.
We show that contrary to first expectations realistic three generation supersymmetric intersecting brane world models give rise to phenomenologically interesting predictions about gauge coupling unification. Assuming the most economical way of realizing the matter content of the MSSM via intersecting branes we obtain a model independent relation among the three gauge coupling constants at the string scale. In order to correctly reproduce the experimentally known values of sin^2[theta_W(M_z)] and alpha_s(M_z) this relation leads to natural gauge coupling unification at a string scale close to the standard GUT scale 2 x 10^16 GeV. Additional vector-like matter can push the unification scale up to the Planck scale.
