Black holes as a source of neutrino asymmetry in Universe

Abstract

Propagation of fermions in curved space-time generates gravitational interaction due to coupling of its spin with space-time curvature connection. This gravitational interaction, which is an axial-four-vector multiplied by a four gravitational vector potential, appears as CPT violating term in the Lagrangian which generates an opposite sign and thus asymmetry between the left-handed and right handed partners under CPT transformation. In the case of neutrinos this property can generate neutrino asymmetry in the Universe. If the background metric is of rotating black hole, Kerr geometry, this interaction for neutrino is non-zero. Therefore the dispersion energy relation for neutrino and its anti-neutrino are different which gives rise to the difference in their number densities and neutrino asymmetry in the Universe in addition to the known relic asymmetry.
