• Abstract: A relativistic version of the Schr{\"o}dinger-Newton equation is analyzed within the recently proposed Grave de Peralta approach [L. Grave de Peralta, {\em Results Phys.} {\bf 18} (2020) 103318], which include relativistic effects by a parametrization of the non-relativistic hamiltonian, so as to impose that the average kinetic energy of the system coincide with its relativistic kinetic energy. The reliability of this method is tested for the particle in a box. By applying this method to the Schr{\"o}dinger-Newton equation we shows that the characteristic length of the model [L. Di{\'o}si, {\em Phys. Lett}. {\bf 105A} (1984) 199] goes to zero for a mass of the order of the Planck mass, suggesting a collapse of the wavefuncton, induced by gravity.

  We apply a perturbative scheme to derive the non-relativistic Schr"odinger equation in curved spacetime. We calculate the next-to-leading order corrections to the neutron's energy spectrum. While the current precision for observations of ultracold neutrons may not yet enable to probe them, they could still be relevant in the future or in alternative circumstances.

  We present a new interpretation of quantum mechanics, called the double-scale theory. It is based on the simultaneous existence of two wave functions in the laboratory reference frame. The external wave function corresponds to a field that pilots the center-of-mass of the quantum system. The internal wave function corresponds to the interpretation proposed by Edwin Schr"odinger.

Quantum mechanics can be obtained by modelling the incident particle as a non-random potential. Under suitable conditions it will be shown that the colliding particles satisfy Minkowski metric in special relativity.

• Schr\"odinger--Newton equation with spontaneous wave function collapse [0.0]
  Based on the assumption that the standard Schr"odinger equation becomes gravitationally modified for massive macroscopic objects, two independent proposals has survived from the nineteen-eighties. The Schr"odinger--Newton equation provides well-localized solitons for free macro-objects but lacks the mechanism how extended wave functions on solitons. We propose the Schr"odinger--Newton equation which contains the above two gravity-related modifications together.
