We treat the gravitational effects of quantum stress tensor fluctuations. An operational approach is adopted in which these fluctuations produce fluctuations in the focusing of a bundle of geodesics. This can be calculated explicitly using the Raychaudhuri equation as a Langevin equation. The physical manifestation of these fluctuations are angular blurring and luminosity fluctuations of the images of distant sources.

In this paper, we calculate the vacuum fluctuation of the stress tensor of a higher-derivative theory around a thin cosmic string. To this end, we adopt the method to obtain the stress tensor from the effective action developed by Gibbons et al. By their method, the quantum stress tensor of higher-derivative scalar theories without self-interaction is expressed as a simple sum of quantum stress tensors of free massive scalar fields. Unlike the vacuum expectation value of the scalar field squared obtained in the similar model, there appears no reduction of the values near the conical singularity.

We compute the commutators of the regularized quantum stress-tensor of singleton theories formulated on the boundary of a (p+2)-dimensional anti de Sitter space (AdSp+2). (These are superconformal field theories on Sp×S1.) We find that the commutator algebra contains the finite dimensional AdSp+2 algebra SO (p+1, 2). We also find field dependent as well as field independent Schwinger terms (i.e. central extensions), which, however, do not lead to anomalies in the algebra of the AdS charges. We also give a simple derivation of the two-point functions for bosonic and fermionic singletons.
