Abstract
A model for describing the dyanmics of glassy systems is presented. The model incorporates the effects of frustration caused by the imperfect packing of icosahedral clusters in flat three-dimensional space and the presence of non-Abelian defect lines. The model is studied by use of Monte Carlo simulations. The addition of uniform frustration causes the dynamics to be glassy.Keywords
