Abstract

In this note we consider inhomogeneous solutions of two-dimensional linear sigma model in the large NN limit. These solutions are similar to the ones found recently in two-dimensional CPNCP^N sigma model. The solution exists only for some range of coupling constant. We calculate energy of the solutions as function of parameters of the model and show that at some value of the coupling constant it changes sign signaling a possible phase transition. The case of the nonlinear model at finite temperature is also discussed. The free energy of the inhomogeneous solution is shown to change sign at some critical temperature.
