- Abstract: The Di{\'o}si-Penrose model is explored in a relativistic context.
Relativistic effects were considered within a recently proposed Grave de
Peralta approach [L. Grave de Peralta, {\em Results Phys.} {\bf 18} (2020)
103318], which parametrize the Schr{\"o}dinger-like hamiltonian so as to impose
that the average kinetic energy of the system coincide with its relativistic
kinetic energy. As a case of study, the method is applied to a particle in a
box with good results. In the Di{\'o}si-Penrose model we observed that the
width of a quantum matter field confined by its own gravitational field [L.
Di{\'o}si, {\em Phys. Lett}. {\bf 105A} (1984) 199], sharply drop to zero for a
mass of the order of the Planck mass, indicating a breakdown of the model at
the Planck scale.

We develop a framework of integral quantization applied to the motion of spinless particles in the four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime.
The proposed scheme is based on coherent states generated by the action of the Heisenberg-Weyl group.
A direct application of our model, including a computation of transition amplitudes between states characterized by fixed positions and momenta, is postponed to a forthcoming article.

Recently, a trend in topological physics is extending topological classification to mixed state.
We focus on Gaussian mixed states where the modular Hamiltonians of the density matrix are quadratic free fermion models.
The bulk-boundary correspondence is then manifested as stable gapless modes of the modular Hamiltonian and degenerate spectrum of the density matrix.
