Abstract

We discuss spherically symmetric, static solutions to the SU(2) sigma model on a de Sitter background. Despite of its simplicity this model reflects many of the features exhibited by systems of non-linear matter coupled to gravity e.g. there exists a countable set of regular solutions with finite energy; all of the solutions show linear instability with the number of unstable modes increasing with energy.
