## Abstract We calculate the one‐loop corrections to gauge couplings in __N__ = 1 supersymmetric brane world models, which are realized in an type __IIA__ orbifold/orientifold background with several stacks of D6 branes wrapped on 3‐cycles with non‐vanishing intersections. Contributions arise from

Abstract
In this paper, which is based on the first part of the author's PhD thesis, we review the statistics of the open string sector in T^6^/(ℤ~2~ × ℤ~2~) orientifold compactifications of type IIA. After an introduction to the orientifold setup we discuss the two different techniques that have been developed, using either a saddle point approximation or a direct computer based method. We explain the two approaches by means of eight‐ and six‐dimensional toy models and present the results for the four‐dimensional models in detail. Special emphasis is placed on models containing phenomenologically interesting gauge groups, in particular those containing a standard model, Pati‐Salam or SU(5) part.

## Abstract The aim of this article is to review some recent progress in the field of intersecting D‐brane models. This includes the construction of chiral, semi‐realistic flux compactifications, the systematic study of Gepner model orientifolds, the computation of various terms in the low energy e
