Abstract
Neutrino flavor oscillations are analyzed in the framework of Quantum Geometry model proposed by Caianiello. In particular, we analyze the consequences of the model for accelerated neutrino particles which experience an effective Schwarzschild geometry modified by the existence of an upper limit on the acceleration, which implies a violation of the equivalence principle. We find a shift of quantum mechanical phase of neutrino oscillations, which depends on the energy of neutrinos as E^3. Implications on atmospheric and solar neutrinos are discussed.
