Remarks on flavor-neutrino propagators and oscillation formulae

Abstract

We examine the general structure of the formulae of neutrino oscillations proposed by Blasone and Vitiello(BV). Reconstructing their formulae with the retarded propagators of the flavor neutrino fields for the case of many flavors, we can get easily the formulae which satisfy the suitable boundary conditions and are independent of arbitrary mass parameters $\{{\mu }_{\rho }\}$, as is obtained by BV for the case of two flavors. In this two flavor case, our formulae reduce to those obtained by BV under $T$-invariance condition. Furthermore, the reconstructed probabilities are shown to coincide with those derived with recourse to the mass Hilbert space ${\mathcal{H}}_m$ which is unitarily inequivalent to the flavor Hilbert space ${\mathcal{H}}_f$. Such a situation is not found in the corresponding construction a la BV. Then the new factors in the BV's formulae, which modify the usual oscill ation formulae, are not the trace of the flavor Hilbert space construction, but come from Bogolyubov transformation among the operators of spin-1/2 ne utrino with different masses.
