Abstract
From the lecture talk given by Batalin and Vilkovisky we have learned about the progress achieved in understanding the universal content of gauge theories.1 This progress is due to the discovery of a new mathematical structure inherent to every gauge theory, from electrodynamics to supergravity, which expresses in a concentrated form the very notion of gauge symmetry. This structure appears to be sufficiently powerful for establishing important general properties of gauge theories irrespective of their particular form. Therefore the notion of general gauge theory has become meaningful.
