摘要
We summarize the application of the field--antifield formalism to the quantization of gauge field theories. After the gauge fixing, the main issues are the regularization and anomalies. We illustrate this for chiral gravity. We discuss also gauge theories with a non-local action, induced by a matter system with an anomaly. As an illustration we use induced WZW models, including a discussion of non--local regularization, the importance of the measure and regularization of multiple loops. In these theories antifields become propagating --- one of many roles assigned to them in the BV formalism.
