The paper deals with the problem of super-normalisation of nonlinear \(\sigma\)-models. Using the dimension independence of the background field method and the geometrical properties of Kähler manifolds, the authors show the on-shell finiteness of \(N=4\) models with target space an arbitrary Ricci flat manifold to all orders of perturbation theory. Some comments are made on finiteness of \(N=2\) and \(N=1\) \(\sigma\)-models.
