We use previous work on the Hilbert space for mixed fields to derive deformed dispersion relations for neutrino flavor states. We then discuss how these dispersion relations may be incorporated into frameworks encoding the breakdown of…
We consider a Lorentz non-invariant dispersion relation for the neutrino, which would produce unexpected effects with neutrinos of few eV, exactly where the tritium beta-decay anomaly is found. We use this anomaly to put bounds on the…

In this work we study the propagation of massive Dirac neutrinos in matter with flavor mixing, using statistical techniques based on Relativistic Wigner Functions. First, we consider neutrinos in equilibrium within the Hartree…
The Lagrangian that is normally associated with Dirac neutrinos is analyzed in a complete and simple way through field theory. It is found that the elements of the neutrino mass matrix are field strength renormalization constants and that…
It is shown that various versions of the neutrino mixing hypothesis are in a contradiction with generally accepted facts and principles.There is also presented the possible alternative formulation of the neutrino oscillation theory and it…
We review the application of non abelian discrete groups to the theory of neutrino masses and mixing, which is strongly suggested by the agreement of the Tri-Bimaximal mixing pattern with experiment. After summarizing the motivation and the…
We point out that the assumption of Lorentz noninvariance examined recently by Coleman and Glashow leads to neutrino flavor oscillations which are phenomenologically equivalent to those obtained by assuming the neutrinos violate the…
We use the method of finite temperature field theory to examine the propagation of mixed neutrinos through dense media, putting the emphasis in those situations in which the neutrinos themselves are in the background. The evolution equation…
A review on the Lorentz invariant treatment of neutrino spin and flavour oscillations in moving and polarized matter is presented. Within this approach it becomes possible to consider neutrino oscillations in arbitrary electromagnetic…
We digress on the implications of recent claims of superluminal neutrino propagation. No matter how we turn it around such behaviour is very odd and sits uncomfortably even within "far-fetched" theories. In the context of non-linear…
We study in the framework of relativistic quantum mechanics the evolution of a system of two Dirac neutrinos that mix with each other and have non-vanishing magnetic moments. The dynamics of this system in an external magnetic field is…
Over the last ten years tri-bimaximal mixing has played an important role in modeling the flavour problem. We give a short review of the status of flavour symmetry models of neutrino mixing. We concentrate on non-Abelian discrete…
Solar neutrino problem and atmospheric neutrino anomaly which are both long-standing issues studied intensively by physicists in the past several decades, are reckoned to be able to be solved simultaneously in the framework of the…
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…
We present a concise review of the recent important experimental developments on neutrino mixing (hints for sterile neutrinos, large $\theta_{13}$, possible non maximal $\theta_{23}$, approaching sensitivity on $\delta_{CP}$) and their…
In this paper we study Dirac and Majorana neutrino oscillations in a magnetic field in the three-flavour case. A theoretical framework developed in \cite{Popov:2019} is extended to the case of three neutrino species, as well as to the…
Flavor/mass dichotomy} for mixed fields is one of the most controversial issues in Quantum Field Theory. In this work we approach the problem by considering mixing of neutrinos and computing the transition amplitude for the paradigmatic…
We obtain a relativistically covariant wave equation for neutrinos in dense matter and electromagnetic field, which describes both flavor oscillations and neutrino spin rotation. Using this equation we construct a quasi-classical theory of…
We study the non-relativistic limit of Dirac equation for mixed neutrinos. We demonstrate that such a procedure inevitably leads to a redefinition of the inertial mass. This happens because, in contrast to the case when mixing is absent,…
