Chern-Simons term at finite density

Abstract

The Chern-Simons topological term coefficient is derived at arbitrary finite density. As it occures that μ2 = m2 is the crucial point for Chern-Simons. So when μ2 < m2 μ--influence disappears and we get the usual Chern-Simons term. On the other hand when μ2 > m2 the Chern-Simons term vanishes because of non-zero density of background fermions. In particular for massless case parity anomaly is absent at any finite density. This result holds in any odd dimension as in abelian so as in nonabelian cases.
