Relativistic Dynamical Collapse Model for a Scalar Field

A natural generalization of the CSL (Continuous Spontaneous Localization) theory of dynamical collapse is applied to a relativistic quantum scalar field $ϕ({\bf x},t)$. It is shown that the modified Schrödinger equation is relativistically invariant, that the probabilities associated to all possible values of the classical scalar random field $w({\bf x},t)$ (which determines the eventual state of collapse) add up to 1, that there is no energy production out of the vacuum and, in the limit of large time, the collapse is toward eigenstates of $ϕ({\bf x},0)$.
