Relativistic GKLS master equation?

Abstract

The celebrated GKLS master equation, widely called just Lindblad equation, is the universal dynamical equation of non-relativistic open quantum systems in their Markovian approximation. It is not necessary and perhaps impossible that GKLS equations possess sensible relativistic forms. In a lucid talk on black hole information loss paradox, David Poulin conjectured a Lorentz invariant GKLS master equation. It remained unpublished. Poulin passed away at heights of his activity. But the equation is really puzzling. A closer look uncovers a smartly hidden defect which leaves us without Lorentz invariant Markovian master equations. They, in view of the present author, should not exist.
