Abstract: We describe a formalism underlying the renormalization procedure and Batalin-Vilkoviski formalism. In the framework of this formalism, we give a mathematical definition of OPE-algebra and describe an additional natural structure which produces a *-Lie algebra structure on the (cohomologically shifted) D-module of observables, whence an $L_{i}nfty$ algebra structure on the space of global sections of the de Rham complex of this D-module. Given a Maurer-Cartan element in this $L_{i}nfty$ algebra, we construct a deformation of the OPE-algebra, which is exactly the desired renormalization.
