Topics on modern String phenomenology

In this thesis we present phenomenological consequences of the modern nonperturbative regimes of String Theory, M- and F-Theory. The origins of SO(10) from M-Theory on G2 manifolds are discussed, accompanied by a detailed discussion on a rank-breaking mechanism and consequences for neutrino masses....
