Abstract It is shown that by applying Nelson's stochastic quantization scheme to a free linearized gravitational field tensor, one can associate with the resulting stochastic system a stochastic tensor field which coincides with the ‘space’ part of the Riemannian tensor in Euclidean space-time. However, such a stochastic field fails to satisfy the Markov property. Instead, it satisfies the reflection positivity. The Markovian structure of the stochastic fields associated with the electromagnetic field is also discussed.
