Phenomenology of Quantum Gravity and its Possible Role in Neutrino Anomalies

TL;DR

This paper proposes a phenomenological Quantum Gravity model that could explain neutrino anomalies by suggesting a Lorentz-invariant discrete spacetime structure affecting matter-curvature interactions.

Contribution

It introduces a specific Quantum Gravity phenomenological model linking spacetime discreteness to neutrino oscillation anomalies, which is a novel approach.

Findings

Model provides a potential explanation for neutrino anomalies.

Suggests Lorentz-invariant spacetime discreteness influences neutrino behavior.

Offers a new framework connecting Quantum Gravity and neutrino physics.

Abstract

New phenomenological models of Quantum Gravity have suggested that a Lorentz-Invariant discrete spacetime structure may become manifest through a nonstandard coupling of matter fields and spacetime curvature. On the other hand, there is strong experimental evidence suggesting that neutrino oscillations cannot be described by simply considering neutrinos as massive particles. In this manuscript we motivate and construct one particular phenomenological model of Quantum Gravity that could account for the so-called neutrino anomalies.
