Abstract We compute the Chern-Simons current induced by lattice fermions on a d(=2n+1)-dimensional lattice, using a topological interpretation of the fermion propagator as a map from the torus to the sphere, Td→Sd. Our techniques clarify the dependence of the current on short-distance physics. We show explicitly that for Wilson fermions it changes discontinuously at d+1 different values for the mass m. This result is relevant for a recently proposed model of chiral fermions as zeromodes bound… Expand
