Abstract: We discuss the three spacetime dimensional $mathbbCmathbb{P}^N$ model and specialize to the $mathbbCmathbb{P}^1$ model. Because of the Hopf map $p{i}_3(mathbbCmathbb{P}^1)=mathbbZ$ one might try to couple the model to a periodic $heta$ parameter. However, we argue that only the values $heta=0$ and $heta=pi$ are consistent. For these values the Skyrmions in the model are bosons and fermions respectively, rather than being anyons. We also extend the model by coupling it to a topological quantum field theory, such that the Skyrmions are anyons. We use techniques from geometry and topology to construct the $heta=pi$ theory on arbitrary 3-manifolds, and use recent results about invertible field theories to prove that no other values of $heta$ satisfy the necessary locality.
