Abstract

Previously proposed field equations for the fieldφ which maps points in space-time to points on the two-sphere are derived from a suitable Lagrangian. The original conjecture that this theory may be the nonlinear theory of electrodynamics which has charge quantization as a topological property is supported by this result. Problems with this interpretation are indicated.
