Abstract
We study the dynamical generation of parity-odd fermion mass in (2+1)-dimensional topologically massive gauge theory. To one-loop order, the temperature dependence of the induced fermion mass is calculated. The implications of our study pertinent to some recent results concerning the Chern–Simons terms are discussed.
