This is not a coincidence; the Batalin-Vilkovisky approach is here translated into the language of deformation theory.AMS-Latex, 15 pages plus one figure available as .eps file,not included To appear in Proceedings of the Conference on Deformation Theory, etc. Ascona, Switzerland, June 1996Quantum AlgebraHigh Energy Physics - Theorytext
