In the first part of this paper, we show that the semiclassical Einstein-Langevin equation, introduced in the framework of a stochastic generalization of semiclassical gravity to describe the back reaction of matter stress-energy fluctuations, can be formally derived from a functional method based on the influence functional of Feynman and Vernon. In the second part, we derive a number of results for background solutions of semiclassical gravity consisting of stationary and conformally stationary spacetimes and scalar fields in thermal equilibrium states. For these cases, fluctuation-dissipation relations are derived. We also show that particle creation is related to the vacuum stress-energy fluctuations and that it is enhanced by the presence of stochastic metric fluctuations.

  1. Measurements in stochastic gravity and thermal variance

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Thermal photon fluctuations in a curved spacetime generate metric variance that, in the Fewster-Verch measurement scheme, equals the stochastic gravity noise kernel exactly.
