Abstract
Effects of gravitational interaction are generally neglected in particle physics. A first order formulation of gravity is presented to include gravity in Quantum Mechanical Lagrangian of fermions. It is seen that fermions minimally coupled to gravity gives rise to a torsionless effective theory with a quartic interaction. After passing through a thermal background the most generic form of contortion contributes to neutrino effective mass. This effective mass can change the current oscillation parameters.
