We critically examine the recent claim (gr-qc/9603008) of a ``new effect'' of gravitationally induced quantum mechanical phases in neutrino oscillations. A straightforward exercise in the Schwarzschild coordinates appropriate to a…
The gravitational phase shift of neutrino oscillation can be discussed in the framework of f(R)-gravity. We show that the shift of quantum mechanical phase can depend on the given f(R)-theory that we choose. This fact is general and could…
The interplay of gravitation and the quantum-mechanical principle of linear superposition induces a new set of neutrino oscillation phases. These ensure that the flavor-oscillation clocks, inherent in the phenomenon of neutrino…
Gravitational lensing introduces the possibility of multiple (macroscopic) paths from an astrophysical neutrino source to a detector. Such a multiplicity of paths can allow for quantum mechanical interference to take place that is…
The weak gravitational field expansion method to account for the gravitationally induced neutrino oscillation effect is critically examined. It is shown that the splitting of the neutrino phase into a ``kinematic'' and a ``gravitational''…
The propagation of neutrinos in a gravitational field is studied. A method of calculating a covariant quantum-mechanical phase in a curved space-time is presented. The result is used to calculate gravitational effects on the neutrino…
We study the quantum mechanical phases associated with the propagation of neutrinos in gravitational fields under the WKB approximation for Dirac equation. Applying the result, the investigations are made for gravitational effects on the…
The propagation of neutrinos in a gravitational field is studied by developing a method of calculating a covariant quantum-mechanical phase in a curved space-time. The result is applied to neutrino propagation in the Schwarzschild metric.
We present some thoughts on how to interpret the gravitionally induced neutrino oscillation phases presented by us in our 1996 Gravity Research Foundation Essay.
Quantum gravitational fluctuations of the space-time background, described by virtual D branes, may induce neutrino oscillations if a tiny violation of the Lorentz invariance (or a violation of the equivalence principle) is imposed. In this…
Both gravitational and mass induced neutrino oscillation mechanisms provide possible resolutions to the Solar Neutrino Problem. The distinguishing feature between the two mechanisms is their dependence on the neutrino energy. We investigate…
The possibility of a gravitational phase transition, especially with respect to neutron stars is investigated. First, a semiclassical treatment is given, predicting a gravitational London penetration depth of 12km for neutron stars. Second,…
Various theoretical arguments motivate an expectation of a phase transition in matter at extreme densities above nuclear density, accompanied by hopes that gravitational wave observations may reveal the properties of such a transition.…
The gravitational neutrino oscillation problem is studied by considering the Dirac Hamiltonian in a Riemann-Cartan space-time and calculating the dynamical phase. Torsion contributions which depend on the spin direction of the mass…
In this paper, we aim to explore the interplay between neutrinos and quantum gravity, illustrating some proposals about the use of these particles as probes for the supposed quantized structure of spacetime. The residual signatures of a…
We explore the dynamics of neutrinos in a vacuum dominated cosmology. First we show that such a geometry will induce a phase change in the eigenstates of a massive neutrino and we calculate the phase change. We also calculate the delay in…
In a 1996 JRO Fellowship Research Proposal (Los Alamos), the author suggested that neutrino oscillations may provide a powerful indirect energy transport mechanism to supernovae explosions. The principal aim of this addendum is to present…
We discuss the propagation of neutrino wave packets in a Lense-Thirring space-time using a gravitational phase approach. We show that the neutrino oscillation length is altered by gravitational corrections and that neutrinos are subject to…
We study the gravitational wave signals emitted from phase-transition induced collapses of rapidly rotating neutron stars to strange stars by performing 3D numerical simulations. Our preliminary results suggest that the complete conversion…
The mass neutrino oscillation in Kerr-Newman(K-N) space-time is studied in the plane $\theta=\theta_{0}$, and the general equations of oscillation phases are given. The effect of the rotation and electric charge on the phase is presented.…
