Abstract

We obtain full moduli parameters for generic non-planar BPS networks of domain walls in an extended Abelian-Higgs model with NN complex scalar fields, and exhaust all exact solutions in the corresponding CPN1\mathbb{C}P^{N -1} model. We develop a convenient description by grid diagrams which are polytopes determined by mass parameters of the model. To illustrate the validity of our method, we work out non-planar domain wall networks for lower NN in 3+13+1 dimensions. In general, the networks can have compact vacuum bubbles, which are finite vacuum regions surrounded by domain walls, when the polytopes of the grid diagrams have inner vertices, and the size of bubbles can be controlled by moduli parameters. We also construct domain wall networks with bubbles in the shapes of the Platonic, Archimedean, Catalan, and Kepler-Poinsot solids.
