Abstract
The geometry of supermanifolds provided with -structure (i.e. with odd vector field satisfying ), -structure (odd symplectic structure ) and -structure (volume element) or with various combinations of these structures is studied. The results are applied to the analysis of Batalin-Vilkovisky approach to the quantization of gauge theories. In particular the semiclassical approximation in this approach is expressed in terms of Reidemeister torsion.
