Abstract: We discuss vacua, walls and three-pronged junctions of the mass-deformed nonlinear sigma models on the Grassmann manifold $G_{N_F,N_C}=fracSU(N_F)SU(N_C)imesSU(N_F-N_C)imesU(1)$, which are non-Abelian gauge theories for $N_{C}geq2$. Polyhedra are proposed in cite{Eto:2005cp} to describe Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield objects of the mass-deformed nonlinear sigma models on the complex projective space, which are Abelian gauge theories. We show that we can produce similar polyhedra for the mass-deformed nonlinear sigma models on the Grassmann manifold by applying the moduli matrix formalism cite{Isozumi:2004jc} and the pictorial representation cite{Lee:2017kaj}. Non-Abelian junctions can be analysed by making use of the polyhedra instead of the Pl"{u}cker embedding. We present diagrams for vacua, walls and three-pronged junctions, and compute three-pronged junction positions of the mass-deformed nonlinear sigma models on the Grassmann manifold. We show that the results are consistent with the known results of cite{Eto:2005fm}, which are worked out by using the Pl"{u}cker embedding.
