Interactions in Intersecting Brane Models
We calculate tree level three and four point scattering amplitudes in type II string models with matter fields localized at the intersections of D-brane wrapping cycles. The analysis of the three point amplitude is performed in the context of Yukawa couplings and it is seen that a natural mechanism for the generation of a mass hierarchy arises. The four point amplitude for fermions at the intersection of four independent stacks of D-branes is then determined.

Interactions in Intersecting Brane Models
We discuss tree level three and four point scattering amplitudes in type II string models with matter fields localized at the intersections of D-brane wrapping cycles. Using conformal field theory techniques we calculate the four fermion amplitudes. These give "contact" interactions that can lead to flavour changing effects. We show how in the field theory limit the amplitudes can be interpreted as the exchange of Kaluza-Klein excitations, string oscillator states and stretched heavy string modes.

CP violation and CKM predictions from Discrete Torsion
We present a supersymmetric D-brane model that has CP spontaneously broken by discrete torsion. The low energy physics is largely independent of the compactification scheme and the kahler metric has `texture zeros' dictated by the choice of discrete torsion. This motivates a simple ansatz for the kahler metric which results in a CKM matrix given in terms of two free parameters, hence we predict a single mixing angle and the CKM phase. The CKM phase is predicted to be close to Pi/3.
