Geometric Origin of Spontaneous Collapse from a Compactified Timelike Dimension

Key Points

The research aims to explore a new mechanism for understanding spontaneous wave-function collapse through geometric principles.
Propose a geometric model extending spacetime with a compactified timelike dimension
Utilize a $Z_2$ orbifold framework
Predict effects measurable by next-generation matter-wave interferometers like MAQRO and OTIMA.
The model indicates isotope dependence in wave-function collapse
It predicts chromatic coupling phenomena observable in specific experiments.

Abstract

We propose a geometric mechanism for spontaneous wave-function collapse by extending spacetime with a compactified timelike dimension on a Z₂ orbifold. . . The model predicts an isotope dependence and chromatic coupling accessible to next-generation matter-wave interferometers (MAQRO, OTIMA).
