We study the nonrelativistic nonlinear sigma model with Hopf term in this
paper. This is an important issue beacuse of its relation to the currently
interesting studies in skyrmions in quantum Hall systems. We perform the
Hamiltonian analysis of this system in CP1 variables. When the coefficient
of the Hopf term becomes zero we get the Landau-Lifshitz description of the
ferromagnets. The addition of Hopf term dramatically alters the Hamiltonian
analysis. The spin algebra is modified giving a new structure and
interpretation to the system. We point out momentum and angular momentum
generators and new features they bring in to the system.Comment: 16pages, Latex file, typos correcte
