Abstract: (Springer)
This paper deals with classical solutions of theSU(2) chiral model on ℝ2, and of a generalized chiral model on ℝ2+1. Such solutions are shown to correspond to certain holomorphic vector bundles over minitwistor space. With an appropriate boundary condition, the solutions (called 1-unitons in [9]) correspond to bundles over a compact 2-dimensional complex manifold, and the problem becomes one of algebraic geometry.
