Abstract
We construct the chiral Wess-Zumino term as a solution for the Batalin -Vilkovisky master equation for anomalous two-dimensional gauge theori es, working in an extended field-antifield space, where the gauge grou p elements are introduced as additional degrees of freedom. We analyze the Abelian and the non-Abelian cases, calculating in both cases the BRST generator in order to show the physical equivalence between this chiral solution for the master equation and the usual (nonchiral) one.
