We apply differential geometry methods to the computation of the anomalyinduced
hydrodynamic equilibrium partition function. Implementing the imaginary-time
prescription on the Chern-Simons effective action on a stationary background, we obtain
general closed expressions for both the invariant and anomalous part of the partition function.
This is applied to the Wess-Zumino-Witten action for Goldstone modes, giving the
equilibrium partition function of superfluids. In all cases, we also study the anomalyinduced
gauge currents and energy-momentum tensor, providing explicit expressions for
them.
