Abstract
We prove the existence of a large-N phase transition in the d = 2 chiral model and calculate via strong-coupling methods the phase-transition point. The critical coupling constant is 0.324. We also treat the chiral model chains (equivalent to the gauge model on polyhedrons) and our approximate calculations come very close to the exact results for the solvable cases. © 1981.
