Comment on ``Remarks on flavor-neutrino propagators and oscillation formulae''

TL;DR

This paper clarifies that the exact field theoretical neutrino oscillation formulas derived in the BV formalism are free from arbitrary parameters, include CP violation, and align with traditional quantum mechanical results in the relativistic limit.

Contribution

It demonstrates that previous conclusions do not apply to the exact BV formalism oscillation formulas, which improve upon earlier models by removing arbitrary dependencies and incorporating CP violation.

Findings

Exact BV formalism formulas are parameter-independent.

Formulas account for CP violation.

Reduce to Pontecorvo oscillation formulas in the relativistic limit.

Abstract

We comment on the paper ``Remarks on flavor-neutrino propagators and oscillation formulae'' [Phys. Rev. D64, 013011 (2001)]. We show that the conclusions presented in that paper do not apply to the exact field theoretical oscillation formulae obtained in the BV formalism (for three flavors) which are free from the dependence on arbitrary mass parameters, account for CP violation and reduce to the usual quantum mechanical (Pontecorvo) three flavor oscillation formulae in the relativistic limit.
