On the geometry of the Batalin-Vilkovisky Laplacian    [PDF]

Arthemy V. Kiselev, Sietse Ringers

We define a jet-space analog of the BV-Laplacian, avoiding delta-functions and infinite constants; instead we show that the main properties of the BV-Laplacian and its relation to the Schouten bracket originate from the underlying jet-space geometry.
