Abstract
We compute the dependence on the classical action ''gauge'' parameters of the beta functions of the standard topological sigma model in flat space. We thus show that their value is a ''gauge'' artifact indeed. We also show that previously computed values of these beta functions c an be continuously connected to one another by smoothly varying those ''gauge'' parameters.
