Field equations, Noether currents and superpotentials are computed so that results are easily compared with the well-known results in dimension 3. Finally we use this covariant formulation of Chern-Simons theories to investigate their relation with topological BF theories.23 pages, refs. addedHigh Energy Physics - TheoryCovariant Lagrangian Formulation of Chern-Simons and BF Theoriestext
