Abstract
The CP1 Hopf term responsible for exotic spin and statistics for the solitons in that model can be thought of as an abelian Chern Simons term due to the fact that CP1 is an example of G/H models (CP1=SU(2)/U(1)). This leads us to consider, for any G/H model, a non-abelian CS term (for the gauge group H). We analyze the consequences of such a term for the statistics of solitons in G/H models. With a suitable point particle limit of soliton configurations, we find that solitons obey anyon-like statistics.Keywords
