Abstract

General expressions of the neutrino oscillation phase in the generally static space-time with spherical symmetry are given. The effect of the gravitational field on the oscillation length is embodied in the gravitational red shift factor. We find that a blue shift of the oscillation length takes place when the neutrino travels out of the gravitational field. Then, we discuss the variation of the oscillation length influenced by the cosmological constant. In the de Sitter space-time, the positive cosmological constant prolongs the oscillation length. And, in the anti-de Sitter space-time, the negative cosmological constant shortens it as expected.
