Abstract

We consider the modification of a single particle Schr\"{o}dinger equation by the inclusion of an additional gravitational self-potential term which follows from the prescription that the' mass-density'that enters this term is given by mψ(r,t)2m |\psi (\vec {r},t)|^2, where ψ(r,t)\psi (\vec {r}, t) is the wavefunction and mm is the mass of the particle. This leads to a nonlinear equation, the ' Newton Schrodinger' equation, which has been found to possess stationary self-bound solutions, whose energy can be determined exactly using an asymptotic method. We find that such a particle strongly violates superposition and becomes a black hole as its mass approaches the Planck mass.
