Abstract: The O(N) non-linear sigma model in a $D$-dimensional space of the form $$, $$, or $$ is studied, where $$, $$ and $$ correspond to flat space, a torus and a sphere, respectively. Using zeta regularization and the $1/N$ expansion, the corresponding partition functions and the gap equations are obtained. Numerical solutions of the gap equations at the critical coupling constants are given, for several values of $D$. The properties of the partition function and its asymptotic behaviour for large $D$ are discussed. In a similar way, a higher-derivative non-linear sigma model is investigated too. The physical relevance of our results is discussed.
