Title: n-ary Batalin-Vilkovisky brackets

Abstract:
The talk discusses how the algebraic view of linear differential operators make it possible to extend the class of the 2nd order differential operators that define the classical (=binary) Batalin-Vilkovisky brackets and to generalize the definition of these brackets to the $n$-ary case.
