Abstract: We investigate the perturbative aspects of Rozansky-Witten's 3d $sigma$-model using Costello's approach to the Batalin-Vilkovisky (BV) formalism. We show that the BV quantization (in Costello's sense) of the model, which produces a perturbative quantum field theory, can be obtained via the configuration space method of regularization due to Kontsevich and Axelrod-Singer. We also study the factorization algebra structure for quantum observables following Costello-Gwilliam. In particular, we show that the cohomology of local quantum observables on a genus $g$ handle body is given by $H^{\ast }(X,(wedg{e}^{\ast }{T}_X{)}^{otimesg})$ (where $X$ is the target manifold), and prove that the partition function reproduces the Rozansky-Witten invariants.
