Abstract
We suggest the existence of a light singlet fermion, , which interacts with observable matter only via a Planck mass suppressed interaction: , where is the supergravity gravitino mass. If the mass of the singlet equals , then resonance conversion solves the solar neutrino problem or leads to observable effects. The -mixing changes supernova neutrino fluxes and has an impact on the primordial nucleosynthesis. The singlet can originate as the supersymmetric partner of the moduli fields in supergravity or low energy effective theory steaming from superstrings. The -mixing may be accompanied by observable R-parity breaking effects.
