We comment on the calculation of the Chern-Simons coefficient in (2+1)-dimensional gauge theories at finite chemical potential made by A.N.Sissakian, O.Yu.Shevchenko and S.B.Solganik (hep-th/9608159 and hep-th/9612140).
In (2+1) dimensions, the Maxwell term $-(1/4) F_{\alpha\beta}F^{\alpha\beta}$ can be replaced by the Chern-Simons three-form $(\kappa/4)\epsilon^{\alpha\beta\gamma}A_\alpha F_{\beta\gamma}$, yielding a novel type of `electromagnetism'. This…

The $CP^N$ model in three euclidean dimensions is studied in the presence of a Chern-Simons term using the $1/N$ expansion. The $\beta$-function for the CS coefficient $\theta$ is found to be zero to order $1/N$ in the unbroken phase by an…
