Apart from explaining the behavior of Hall's conductivity for graphene, our results show a direct relationship between the selection of a phase for the Dirac determinant and the generation (or lack thereof) of Berry's phases and Chern-Simons terms.6 pages, 1 figure, to appear in Proceedings of the XIII Conference Selected Problems in Mathematical and Theoretical Physics, Dubna, Russia, June 23-27, 2008High Energy Physics - TheoryMesoscale and Nanoscale PhysicsMathematical PhysicsPhases of the Dirac determinant, Abelian Chern-Simons terms and Berry's phases in the field theoretic description of graphenetext
