Covariant path integral for chiral p-forms

Abstract

The covariant path integral for chiral bosons obtained by McClain, Wu and Yu is generalized to chiral p-forms. In order to handle the reducibility of the gauge transformations associated with the chiral p-forms and with the new variables (in infinite number) that must be added to eliminate the second class constraints, the field-antifield formalism is used.
