This paper aims at solving several open questions in current neutrino physics: the neutrino mass hierarchy, the Dirac CP-violating phase, the absolute mass of neutrinos, the nature of neutrinos (Dirac or Majorana), the Majorana matrix, and…
It was recently claimed that the observed physical neutrinos cannot be of Majorana type because such particles lack vector interactions. Contrary to this claim we show that if the Majorana neutrino is massless it is indistinguishable from…
Are neutrinos with definite masses Majorana or Dirac particles? This is one of the most fundamental problem of the modern neutrino physics. The solution of this problem could be crucial for understanding of the origin of small neutrino…
The nature of neutrino mass -- whether neutrinos are Dirac or Majorana particles -- remains one of the central open questions in particle physics. While observation of neutrinoless double beta decay would confirm the Majorana case, the…
It is argued that the quantum gravity attractions dynamically generate tiny degenerate Majorana masses for the neutrinos. The unequal masses of the charged leptons then induce a computable neutrino mass matrix with splittings and mixings…
Similarity between the gravitoelectromagnetism and the electromagnetism is discussed. We show that the gravitomagnetic field (similar to the magnetic field) can be equivalent to the non-commutative effect of the momentum sector of the phase…
We consider the conversions of active to sterile Majorana neutrinos $\nu_{a}$ and $\nu_{s}$, due to neutrino transition magnetic moments in the presence of random magnetic fields (r.m.f.) generated at the electroweak phase transition. From…
Usually it is supposed that Majorana neutrino produced in the superposition state $\chi_L = \nu_L + (\nu_L)^c$ and then follows the neutrinoless double beta decay. But since weak interactions are chiral invariant then the neutrino at…
We study spin-flavor oscillations of Dirac neutrinos with mixing and having non-zero matrix of magnetic moments in magnetic fields of various configurations. We discuss constant transversal and twisting magnetic fields. To describe the…
Cosmic background neutrinos ($C_{\nu}B)$ helicity composition is different for Dirac or Majorana neutrinos making detectors based on $C_{\nu}B$ capture sensitive to the nature of neutrinos. We calculate, for the first time, the helicity…
The evidence for neutrino oscillations implies that three neutrino flavors (\nu_e, \nu_\mu, \nu_\tau) must have different mass states (\nu_1, \nu_2, \nu_3). The most popular idea of generating tiny masses of \nu_i is to introduce three…
We investigate effects of non-zero Dirac and Majorana CP violating phases on neutrino-antineutrino oscillations in a magnetic field of astrophysical environments. It is shown that in the presence of strong magnetic fields and dense matter,…
The radiative type-I seesaw has been already implemented to explain the lightness of Majorana neutrinos with both Majorana and Dirac heavy fermions, and the lightness of Dirac neutrinos with Dirac heavy fermions. In this work we present a…
Models of late-time neutrino mass generation contain new interactions of the cosmic background neutrinos with supernova relic neutrinos (SRNs) through exchange of the on-shell light boson, leading to significant modification of the…
We quantify the effects of light spin-zero particles with pseudoscalar couplings to leptons and scalar couplings to nucleons on the evolution of solar neutrinos. In this scenario the matter potential sourced by the nucleons in the Sun's…
Majorana neutrinos naturally lead to a Lepton Number Violation (LNV). A superposition of Majorana states can mimic Dirac-type neutrinos, leading to its conservation (LNC). We demonstrate on the example of specific observables related to…
The intent of this paper is to convey a new primary physical idea of a Dirac-Majorana neutrino duality in relation to the topical problem of neutrino oscillations. In view of the new atmospheric, solar and the LSND neutrino oscillation…

The observed flavor oscillations of solar and atmospheric neutrinos determine several elements of the leptonic mixing matrix, but leave open the small mixing angle Theta_13, a possible CP-violating phase, the mass ordering, the absolute…
We establish that forces mediated by the exchange of a pair of Majorana neutrinos differ from those due to Dirac neutrino exchange.
