Line 42:
Since the ''n̂''-field lives on a sphere as well, the mapping {{math|''S<sup>2</sup>→ S<sup>2</sup>''}} is in evidence, the solutions of which are classified by the second [[homotopy group]] of a 2-sphere: These solutions are called the O(3) [[Instantons]].
This model can also be considered in 1+2 dimensions, where the topology now comes only from the spatial slices. These are modelled as R^2 with a point at infinity, and hence have the same topology as the O(3) instantons in 1+1 dimensions. They are called sigma model lumps.
