Abstract
We apply the method of derivative expansion of fermion determinants to compute the induced Chern-Simons term in (2+1)-dimensional field theories. The temperature dependence of the Chern-Simons term computed using real-time and imaginary-time methods is shown to be compatible with gauge invariance.
