Abstract

The 2+1 dimensional O(3) nonlinear sigma model with Hopf term of strength θ is canonically quantized. The solitons of topological charge Q are found to have spin equal to ( θ 2π )Q 2 modulo an integer. Collective coordinate quantization in the Q = 1 sector is described and there is a discussion of the current algebra of this model.
