Abstract
In the continuum O(3) sigma model in two spatial dimensions, there are topological solitons whose size can be stabilized by adding Skyrme and potential terms. This Letter describes a lattice version, namely a natural way of modifying the 2D Heisenberg model to achieve topological stability on the lattice.
