Abstract

A nonlinear gauge-invariant σ-model of a general type on a homogeneous space G/H is reformulated in terms of a composite gauge field. In the approximation under consideration, the one-loop effective action of the model is obtained. It is shown that one can choose the parameters in such a way that the theory is both free from ultraviolet divergences and does not lead to a dynamical generation of a composite boson.
