Abstract
Some comments have been made on σ-models associated with noncompact groups. A noncompact variant of the continuous classical Heisenberg spin chain is proposed and its equivalence with a nonlinear Schrödinger equation of a repulsive type is established. Some regular as well as singular soliton solutions are found for the proposed model.
