Abstract:

The stochastic quantization method proposed by Parisi and Wu is applied to the gravitational field. It is found that the Faddeev-Popov distribution for an arbitrary gauge condition, which is obtained in the conventional gauge theories, satisfies the modified equilibrium Fokker-Planck equation by the proper choice of a parameter. It is also shown that the motion of a solution to the Langevin equation for the gravitational field is confined in a region (the Gribov region) where the Faddeev-Popov distribution is positive, if the solution is initially located inside the region.
