Abstract

CPT invariance in neutrino physics has attracted attention after the revival of the hypothetical idea that neutrino and antineutrino might have nonequal masses (mνˉmνm_{\bar\nu} \neq m_{\nu}) when realizing neutrino oscillations as a new sensitive phenomenon to search for the violation of this fundamental symmetry. Moreover, the profound relation between the CPT and Lorentz symmetries turns the studies of CPT and Lorentz invariance violations into the {\bf one two-sided} problem. We present a guide for non-experts through the literature on neutrino physics. The basic works are reviewed thoroughly while for the other papers only current results or discussion issues are quoted. The review covers, mostly, oscillations of neutrinos, resonant change of their flavors and cosmic neutrino physics to systematize possible evidences of CPT/Lorentz violation in this sector of the Standard
