Using the functional stochastic scheme, the gauge fixing term for linearized gravity is shown to be related to longitudinal modes within the framework of the usual set of momentum projection operators. A similar analysis is done for non-Abelian antisymmetric tensor field by replacing derivatives with covariant derivatives in all relevant equations and by constructing suitable operators for projecting out transverse and longitudinal modes.
