Abstract
We perform the gauge-fixing of the theory of a chiral 2-form boson in six-d imensions starting from the action given by Pasti, Sorokin and Tonin. We us e the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism, introducing antifields and writing down an extended action satisfying the classical master equation. Then we gauge -fix the three local symmetries of the extended action in two different way s.
