Abstract
The O(3) nonlinear sigma model with its U(1) subgroup gauged, where th e gauge field dynamics is solely governed by a Chern-Simons term, admi ts both topological as well as nontopological sell-dual soliton soluti ons for a specific choice of the potential. It turns out that the topo logical solitons are infinitely degenerate in any given sector.
