Abstract
The contribution of gravitational neutrino oscillations to the solar neutrino problem is studied by constructing a Dirac Hamiltonian and calculating the corresponding dynamical phase in the vicinity of the Sun in a non-Riemann background Kerr space-time with torsion and nonmetricity. We show that certain components of nonmetricity and the axial as well as nonaxial components of torsion may contribute to neutrino oscillations. We also note that the rotation of the Sun may cause a suppression of transitions among neutrinos. However, the observed solar neutrino deficit could not be explained by any of these effects because they are of the order of Planck scale.
