%X We consider models in which nonrelativistic matter fields interact with gauge fields whose dynamics are governed by the Chern-Simons term. The relevant equations of motion are derived and reduced dimensionally in time or in space. Interesting solitonic equations emerge and their solutions are described. Finally, we consider a Chern-Simons term in three-dimensional Euclidean space, reduced by spherical symmetry, and we discuss its effect on monopole and instanton solutions.
