Abstract
The covariant path integral for chiral bosons obtained by McClain, Wu, and Yu is generalized to chiral p-forms. Ln order to handle the reduc ibility of the gauge transformations associated with the chiral p-form s and with the nerv variables (in infinite number) that must be added to eliminate the second class constraints, the field-antifield formali sm is used.
