摘要
We explore the idea of a network of defects to live inside a domain wall in models of three real scalar fields, engendering the Z(2)X(3) symmetry. The field that governs the Z(2) symmetry generates a domain wall, and entraps the hexagonal network formed by the three junctions of the model of two scalar fields that describes the remaining Z(3) symmetry. If the host domain wall bends to spherical form, in the thin wall approximation there may appear nontopological structures hosting networks that accept diverse patterns. If Z(3) is also broken, the model may generate a buckyball containing 60 junctions, a fullerenelike structure. Applications to cosmology are outlined.
