It has been proposed that there are degrees of freedom intrinsic to quantum critical points that can contribute to quantum critical physics. We point out that this conclusion is quite general below the upper critical dimension. We show that in 2+1 D antiferromagnets skyrmion excitations are stable at criticality and identify them as the critical excitations. We found exact solutions composed of skyrmion and antiskyrmion superpositions, which we call topolons. We include the topolons in the partition function and renormalize by integrating out small size topolons and short wavelength spin waves. We obtain correlation length exponent nu=0.9297 and anomalous dimension eta=0.3381.
