We construct supersymmetric Pati–Salam flux vacua in AdS from intersecting D6-branes on T 6 /(ℤ 2 × ℤ′ 2 ). The models constructed have three generations of MSSM matter plus right-handed neutrinos. Because the cycles wrapped by the D-branes are rigid there are no extra massless fields in the adjoint representation, arising as open-string moduli. However, we find that it is problematic to break the Pati–Salam gauge symmetry to the Standard Model (SM) while keeping the SM hypercharge massless.
