Abstract: (WSP)
The parity-violating effective action for theories of fermions coupled to external gauge fields in arbitrary odd dimensions is calculated exactly by a perturbative technique. This effective action is used to obtain the structures for the Chern–Simons terms in odd dimensions and anomalies in even dimensions. Our analysis clearly elucidates the connection of the Chern–Simons terms with the covariant and consistent anomalies.- gauge field theory
