This result is used to show that shifting the anomalies to a classically trivial sector of fields (Wess-Zumino mechanism) makes it possible to quantize the physical sector using a standard BRST procedure, as for a non anomalous theory. The trivial sector plays the role of a topological sector if the system is quantized without shifting the anomalies.16 pages, latex, revised and enlarged version to appear in Phys.Rev.DHigh Energy Physics - TheoryBRST quantization of anomalous gauge theoriestext
