Description
Metric tensor fluctuations in maximally symmetric spaces induce fluctuations in the various curvature tensors away from their background values. Coordinate-independent correlation functions for these fluctuations are found as sums of maximally symmetric bitensors, and physical implications of their behaviors at large times are discussed
