Abstract

The Marolf-Maxfield topological toy model for 2D gravity gives the full spectrum of boundary theories, but can not describe any evolution. In order to obtain the expected evolution from Hartle-Hawking state to one of the superselection sectors, we suggest to consider a correspondence between models of evaporating black holes and models of collapsing wave functions. This note explores this correspondence by equating the Marolf-Maxfield topological toy model and to the Bonifacio model of spontaneous collapse theory. The expected evolution of a matrix element due to a generator of a parameter in Marolf-Maxfield model is obtained.
