Abstract
We consider instapton solutions of the CP N models in two Euclidean dimensions as solitons of the same models in (2+1) dimensions. We find that, in general, the solitons tend to shrink so to stabilise them we add special potential and skyrme-like terms. We show that in head-on collisions the solitons scatter at 90° to the direction of their original motion and that they also undergo a shift along their trajectories.
