Abstract
A stochastic metric can appear in classical as well as in quantum gravity. We show that if the linearized stochastic Gaussian gravitational plane wave has the frequency spectrum () then the equal-time propagator of the scalar field behaves as for large momenta. We discuss models of quantum field theory where such anomalous behaviour can appear.
