There are several ways that people have tried to find the standard model
within string theory. Accordingly, there are several possible incarnations
of the Higgs mechanism.
One popular approach to standard model physics are intersecting brane
models. In these models the Higgs mechanics comes (or at least could come)
from tachyon condensation.
See for instance p.6 of the review paper at
http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0401156 .
I would like to invite everybody interested in discussing details of string
theory to do so on the newsgroup sci.physics.strings, which can now finally
be found at Google Groups:

as well as at Physics Forums

There are several ways that people have tried to find the standard model
within string theory. Accordingly, there are several possible incarnations
of the Higgs mechanism.
One popular approach to standard model physics are intersecting brane
models. In these models the Higgs mechanics comes (or at least could come)
