Solar and atmospheric neutrino data require physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. The simplest, most generic, but not yet unique, interpretation of the data is in terms of neutrino oscillations. I summarize the results of…
The data on atmospheric neutrinos can be explained assuming the existence of oscillations between muon neutrinos and light sterile neutrinos with mixing close to maximal, and Delta_m^2 approximately equal to 3 E-3 (eV^2). This…
We discuss the possibility to observe matter effects in atmospheric neutrino oscillations. The main conclusion is that an impact on the nu_mu survival probability requires the action of the MSW resonance, which becomes visible for baselines…
Neutrino oscillations have been observed in three sectors : solar ($\nu_e$ disappearance), atmospheric ($\nu_{\mu}$ disappearance), and accelerator ($\bar{\nu_{\mu}} \to \bar{\nu_e}$). The probability for two-neutrino oscillation is a…
Neutrino oscillations probe the quantum gravity interface in unique ways. While gravitational effects on neutrinos are well studied in general relativity and torsion based geometries, the symmetric teleparallel regime where gravity stems…
Neutrino oscillations reveal several small parameters, namely, $\theta_{13}$, the solar mass splitting {\em vis-\`{a}-vis} the atmospheric one, and the deviation of $\theta_{23}$ from maximal mixing. Can these small quantities all be traced…
We propose to study possible signals of just-so oscillations in new-generation solar neutrino experiments by separating the events detected when the earth is nearest to the sun (perihelion $\pm$~3~months) from those detected when the earth…
On basis of effective interactions of charged lepton and hadron currents, we obtain an effective interacting Hamiltonian of neutrinos in nuclear media up to the leading order. Using this effective Hamiltonian, we study neutrino mixing and…

We discuss the interplay between lepton asymmetry L and neutrino oscillations in the early Universe. Neutrino oscillations may suppress or enhance previously existing L. On the other hand L is capable to suppress or enhance neutrino…
We examine scenarios in which a dark sector (dark matter, dark radiation, or dark energy) couples to the active neutrinos. For light and weakly-coupled exotic sectors we find that scalar, vector, or tensor dark backgrounds may appreciably…
I describe the current status of the solar neutrino problem, summarizing the arguments that its resolution will require new particle physics. The phenomenon of matter-enhanced neutrino oscillations is reviewed. I consider the implications…
The overall characteristics of the solar and atmospheric neutrino oscillations are approximately consistent with a tribimaximal form of the mixing matrix $U$ of the lepton sector. Exact tribimaximal mixing leads to $\theta_{13}=0$. However,…
The relevance of the data concerning upward--going muons for the solution of the atmospheric neutrino problem is stressed. In particular, their inclusion in the analysis confirms the goodness of the neutrino oscillation hypothesis and…

We consider a solution of the atmospheric neutrino problem based on oscillations of muon neutrinos to sterile neutrinos: $\nu_{\mu}$ $\leftrightarrow$ $\nu_s$. The zenith angle ($\Theta$) dependences of the neutrino and upward-going muon…

Neutrino oscillations have been observed in solar and atmospheric neutrinos, and in the LSND accelerator experiment. The Standard Model cannot accommodate all three positive results. The solar and atmospheric results have been confirmed. An…
