Abstract

We study the 0+1 dimensional Chern-Simons theory at finite temperature within the framework of the derivative expansion. We obtain various interesting relations, solve the theory within this framework and argue that the derivative expansion is not a suitable formalism for a study of the question of large gauge invariance.
