Abstract
Let us consider a Lie (super)algebra spanned by where are quantum observables in BV-formalism. It is proved that for every tensor that determines a homology class of the Lie algebra the expression is again a quantum observables. This theorem is used to construct quantum observables in BV sigma-model. We apply this construction to explain Kontsevich's results about the relation between homology of the Lie algebra of Hamiltonian vector fields and topological invariants of manifolds.
