Abstract: In this paper we present results obtained from the unification of SU(2) coherent states with mathbbCPN sigma models defined on the Riemann sphere having finite actions. The set of coherent states generated by a vector belonging to a carrier space of an irreducible representation of the group gives rise to a map from the sphere into the set of rank-1 Hermitian projectors in that space. The map can be identified with a particular solution of the mathbbCPN sigma model, where N+1 is equal to the dimension of the representation space. In particular a choice of the generating vector as the highest weight vector of the representation gives rise to the map known as a Veronese immersion. Using a description of the matrix elements of these representations in terms of Jacobi polynomials, we obtain an explicit parametrization of the solutions of the mathbbCPN models, which has not been previously found. We relate the analytical properties of the solutions, which are known to belong to separate classes --- holomorphic, anti-holomorphic and various types of mixed ones --- to the weight corresponding to the chosen weight vector. Some examples of the described constructions are elaborated in detail in this paper.
