We consider a smooth Riemannian metric tensor $g$ on $\R^n$ and study the stochastic wave equation for the Laplace-Beltrami operator $\p_t^2 u - \Delta_g u = F$. Here, $F=F(t,x,\omega)$ is a random source that has white noise distribution…

Solutions with degenerate metric ($det(g_{\mu\nu})=0$ or $g_{\mu\nu}=0$) in the first order formalism (FOF) are physically acceptable: they may describe topology changes (Horowitz) and reduction of "metrical dimension" (Tseytlin) of…
