The Schr\"odinger-Newton (SN) equation introduces a nonlinear self-gravitational term to the standard Schr\"odinger equation, offering a paradigmatic model for semiclassical gravity. However, the small deviations it predicts from standard…

We consider the stochastic quantization scheme for a non-perturbative stabilization of 2D quantum gravity and prove that it does not satisfy the KdV flow equations. It therefore differs from a recently suggested matrix model which allows…
