Mass-coupled relativistic spontaneous collapse models

Abstract

Currently there is not a satisfactory relativistic spontaneous collapse model. Here we show the impossibility of a simple generalization of the continuous spontaneous collapse (CSL) model to the relativistic framework. We consider a mass coupled model as in the non-relativistic limit this gives the CSL model. We show that a Lorentz covariant collapse equation cannot simultaneously satisfy the following conditions: i) To avoid a divergent rate of energy, ii) To prevent superluminal signaling.
