The nonlocal regularization method, recently proposed in ref.,ct{emkw91,kw92,kw93}, is extended to general gauge theories by reformulating it along the ideas of the antibracket-antifield formalism. From the interplay of both frameworks a fully regularized version of the field-antifield (FA) formalism arises, being able to deal with higher order loop corrections and to describe higher order loop contributions to the BRST anomaly. The quantum master equation, considered in the FA framework as the quantity parametrizing BRST anomalies, is argued to be incomplete at two and higher order loops and conjectured to reproduce only the one-loop corrections to the $hbar^p$ anomaly generated by the addition of $O(hbar^{k})$, $k<p$, counterterms. Chiral $W_3$ gravity is used to exemplify the nonlocally regularized FA formalism. First, the regularized one-loop quantum master equation is used to compute the complete one-loop anomaly. Its two-loop order, however, is shown to reproduce only the modification to the two-loop anomaly produced by the addition of a suitable one-loop counterterm, thereby providing an explicit verification of the previous statement for $p=2$. The well-known universal two-loop anomaly, instead, is alternatively obtained from the BRST variation of the nonlocally regulated effective action. Incompleteness of the quantum master equation is thus concluded to be a consequence of a naive derivation of the FA BRST Ward identity.

We introduce external sources J_A directly into the quantum master action W of the field-antifield formalism instead of the effective action. The external sources J_A lead to a set of BRST-invariant functions W^A that are in antisymplectic involution . As a byproduct, we encounter quasi--groups with open gauge algebras.
We introduce classical and quantum antifields in the reparametrization-invariant effective action, and derive a deformed classical master equation.
It is proven that the nilpotent $Delta$-operator in the field-antifield formalism can be constructed in terms of an antisymplectic structure only.
We consider the problem of covariant gauge-fixing in the most general setting of the field-antifield formalism, where the action W and the gauge-fixing part X enter symmetrically and both satisfy the Quantum Master Equation. Analogous to the gauge-ge nerating algebra of the action W, we analyze the possibility of having a reducible gauge-fixing algebra of X. We treat a reducible gauge-fixing algebra of the so-called first-stage in full detail and generalize to arbitrary stages. The associated square root measure contributions are worked out from first principles, with or without the presence of antisymplectic second-class constraints. Finally, we consider an W-X alternating multi-level generalization.

Anomalies in Yang-Mills type gauge theories of gravity are reviewed. Particular attention is paid to the relation between the Dirac spin, the axial current j_5 and the non-covariant gauge spin C. Using diagrammatic techniques, we show that only gener alizations of the U(1)- Pontrjagin four--form F^ F= dC arise in the chiral anomaly, even when coupled to gravity. Implications for Ashtekars canonical approach to quantum gravity are discussed.
