Abstract

Two closely related topological phenomena are studied at finite density and temperature. These are chiral anomaly and Chern-Simons term. By using different methods it is shown that μ2=m2\mu^2 = m^2 is the crucial point for Chern-Simons at zero temperature. So when μ2<m2\mu^2 < m^2 μ\mu--influence disappears and we get the usual Chern-Simons term. On the other hand when μ2>m2\mu^2 > m^2 the Chern-Simons term vanishes because of non-zero density of background fermions. It is occurs that the chiral anomaly doesn't depend on density and temperature. The connection between parity anomalous Chern-Simons and chiral anomaly is generalized on finite density. These results hold in any dimension as in abelian, so as in nonabelian cases.
