Description
The conformally invariant σ-model of Felsager and Leinaas in four dimensions (n=2) is generalised to 2n dimensions, and the unit-charge instantons are presented. This hierarchy of σ-models starts with the O(3) σ-model (n=1). The relationship of these models with the generalised YM systems for even n=2p is pointed out. (orig.)
