These three equations reduce to two because of the Bianchi Identity, which holds here since the averaged and stochastic sources in the EL eqn are separately conserved. Equivalence with Quantum approach: Can show that EL eqn reduces to (Roura and Verdaguer 2007) Same as the conventional approach via quantized linear perturbations, e.g., Eq. (6.48) of Comments: 1. In Fourier space nonlocal terms in the integro-differential equation in the spatial sector simplify to products. Non-locality in time in this equation disappears due to an exact cancellation of the different contributions from 2. Seems like there is no dependence on the stochastic source. But the solutions to ELeqn should also satisfy the constraint eqn at the initial time in addition to the dynamical eqn. The initial conditions for have dependence on the stochastic source.

Stochastic gravity incorporates these fluctuations (at Gaussian level) through the noise kernel acting as source for the Einstein-Langevin equation 3.

Enric Verdaguer, Peyresq 98) As an example, let’s consider The Semiclassical Einstein Equation is where < > denotes the quantum vacuum expectation value With solutions The Quantum (Heisenberg) Equation is With solutions Where the average is taken with respect to the quantum fluctuations of both the gravitational and matter fields For stochastic gravity, the Einstein Langevin equation is of he form With solutions We now take the noise average Recall Hence We get, Note this has the same form as in quantum gravity except that the Average is taken with respect to matter field fluctuations only. Semiclassical Gravity includes only the mean value of the Stress-Energy Tensor of the matter field Stochastic Gravity includes the two point function of Tmn in the Einstein-Langevin equation It is the lowest order in the hierarchy of correlation functions. The full hierarchy gives full information about the matter field. At each level of the hierarchy there is a linkage with the gravity sector. The lowest level is the Einstein equation relating the Tmn itself to the Einstein tensor Gmn Quantum Fluctuations :: Quantum Correlation :: Quantum Coherence Thus stochastic gravity recovers partial quantum coherence in the gravity sector via the metric fluctuations induced by matter fields A simple illustrative model φ =0 • Classical theory • Quantum theory (Heisenberg) solution { h = κ T = κ ∂ aφ ∂ aφ hˆ = κ Tˆ hˆx = hˆx0 + κ ∫ GxyTˆy } { } { } 〈 hˆx , hˆy 〉 = 〈 hˆx0 , hˆy0 〉 + κ 2 ∫∫ Gxx 'G yy ' 〈 Tˆx ' , Tˆy ' 〉 1 ˆ ˆ N xy = 〈{t x , t y }〉 , 2 • Noise kernel: tˆ ≡ Tˆ − 〈Tˆ 〉 Define stochastic Gaussian field 〈ξ 〉 s = 0, 〈ξ xξ y 〉 s = N xy • Langevin equation hx = κ (〈Tˆx 〉 + ξ x ) solution hx = hx0 + κ ∫ Gxx ' (〈Tˆx ' 〉 + ξ x ' ) { } 2〈 hx hy 〉 s = 2〈 hx0 hy0 〉 s + κ 2 ∫∫ Gxx 'G yy ' 〈 Tˆx ' , Tˆy ' 〉 A SIMPLE MODEL • Second terms on r.h.s. are equal • First terms on r.h.s. are equal provided initial { } 1 ˆ0 ˆ0 〈 h h 〉 = 〈 hx , hy 〉 2 distribution hx0 0 0 x y s • Obtain quantum correlations from stochastic approach. { } 1 ˆ ˆ 〈 hx , hy 〉 = 〈 hx hy 〉 s 2 1 ⎡ˆ ˆ ⎤ 〈 ⎣ hx , hy ⎦〉 = iκ (G yx − Gxy ) 2 in agreement with large N expansion
