The energy density is computed for a U(2) Chern-Simons theory coupled to a non-relativistic fermion field (a theory of ``non-Abelian anyons'') under the assumptions of uniform charge and matter density. When the matter field is a spinless…
We study how the Chern-Simons term effects the dynamically generated fermion mass in $(2+1)D$ Quantum Electrodynamics in the framework of large $N$ expansion. We find that when the Chern-Simons term is present half of the fermions get mass…

We compute the exact finite temperature effective action in a 0+1-dimensional field theory containing a topological Chern-Simons term, which has many features in common with 2+1-dimensional Chern-Simons theories. This exact result explains…
If non-vanishing chemical potentials are assigned to chiral fermions, then a Chern-Simons term is induced for the corresponding gauge fields. In thermal equilibrium anomalous processes adjust the chemical potentials such that the…
We analyze (2+1)-dimensional gravity with a Chern--Simons term and a negative cosmological constant, primarily at the weak field level. The full theory is expressible as the sum of two higher derivative SL(2,R) "vector" Chern-Simons terms,…
The parity-violating topological term in the effective action for 2+1 massive fermions is computed at finite temperature in the presence of a constant background field strength tensor. Gauge invariance of the finite-temperature effective…
We present new proposals for the representation of a Chern-Simons term on the lattice. In the first part, such a term is constructed from the fermion determinant, and in the second part directly from the Abelian gauge term. In both cases,…
The three dimensional Chern-Simons theory on $\rr^2_{\theta}\times \rr$ is studied. Considering the gauge transformations under the group elements which are going to one at infinity, we show that under arbitrary (finite) gauge…
The Chern--Simons term is used in the geometric theory of defects. The equilibrium equations with $\delta$-function source are explicitly solved with respect to the $SO(3)$ connection. This solution describes one straight linear…
We resume a long-standing, yet not forgotten, debate on whether a Chern-Simons birefringence can be generated by a local term $b_\mu\bar\psi\gamma^\mu \gamma_5\psi$ in the Lagrangian (where $b_\mu$ are constants). In the present paper we…
A Chern-Simons theory in 11 dimensions, which is a piece of the 11 dimensional supergravity action, is considered as a quantum field theory in its own right. We conjecture that it defines a non-perturbative phase of M theory in which the…
It is argued that the derivative expansion is a suitable method to deal with finite temperature field theory, if it is restricted to spatial derivatives only. Using this method, a simple and direct calculation is presented for the…
It is well known that Chern-Simons Theories are in the constrained systems and their total Hamiltonians become identically zero, because of their gauge invariance. While treating the constraints quantum mechanially, it will be expected taht…
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).
We study the Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theory systematically in an effort to generalize the Coleman-Hill result to the non-Abelian case. We show that, while the Chern-Simons coefficient is in general gauge dependent in a non-Abelian theory,…
