Abstract: (Elsevier)
Finite-energy static kink solutions in three space dimensions, carrying a topologically conserved charge, are exhibited for a new type of chiral pion model. The usual scaling instability problems are circumvented by an unconventional choice of action. This action has no free field sector, but small excitations about classical static solutions of exhibit causal propagation and are candidates for quantization. Another type of scaling stable chiral model is also discussed. It does have a free field sector but involves fourth-order derivatives in the action.
