In this talk I will briefly introduce the framework of perturbative algebraic quantum field theory (pAQFT), which is a mathematically rigorous formulation of perturbative QFT that works on a large class of Lorentzian manifolds (globally hyperbolic ones). Then I will focus on the problem of quantisation of gauge theories, which is performed using the Batalin-Vilkovisky (BV) framework. I will also discuss the connection to the factorization algebras framework of Costello and Gwilliam.
