Abstract
We construct the off-shell nilpotent and metric independent BRST and a nti-BRST operators for four-dimensional BF theories in terms of a supe rconnection formalism. The method is based on the natural introduction of auxiliary fields via a generalized supercurvature. We also discuss how to find the BRST and anti-BRST invariant gauge-fixed quantum acti on.
