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.
