Tiling the plane without supersymmetry
Abstract
We present a way of tiling the plane with a regular hexagonal network of defects. The network is stable and follows in consequence of the three-junctions that appear in a model of two real scalar fields that presents Z3 symmetry. The Z3 symmetry is effective in both the vacuum and defect sectors, and no supersymmetry is required to build the network.
