Abstract

We first review the sectors of the pure SU(2) nonlinear model and the quantization of the topological mass in the SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in 2+1 dimensions. We then show that when the two models are coupled the sectors disappear and the topological mass need not be quantized. We work in a canonical formalism and emphasize the role of functional magnetic fields
