The authors' main claim When this information is coupled with the mass square differences implied by the existing neutrino-oscillation data we find that the new effect may have profound consequences for type-II supernova evolution.

In this essay, we introduce a new effect of gravitationally induced quantum mechanical phases in neutrino oscillations. These phases arise from an hitherto unexplored interplay of gravitation and the principle of the linear superposition of quantum mechanics. In the neighborhood of a 1.4 solar-mass neutron star, gravitationally induced quantum mechanical phases are roughly 20% of their kinematical counterparts. When this information is coupled with the mass square differences implied by the existing neutrino-oscillation data we find that the new effect may have profound consequences for type-II supernova evolution.

Original abstract
In this essay, we introduce a new effect of gravitationally induced quantum mechanical phases in neutrino oscillations. These phases arise from an hitherto unexplored interplay of gravitation and the principle of the linear superposition of quantum mechanics. In the neighborhood of a 1.4 solar-mass neutron star, gravitationally induced quantum mechanical phases are roughly 20% of their kinematical counterparts. When this information is coupled with the mass square differences implied by the existing neutrino-oscillation data we find that the new effect may have profound consequences for type-II supernova evolution.

A straightforward exercise in the Schwarzschild coordinates appropriate to a spherically symmetric non-rotating star shows that, although there is a general relativistic effect of the star's gravity on neutrino oscillations, it is not of the form claimed, and is too small to be measured.

Neutrino oscillation was first formulated in flat spacetime which was subsequently generalized to curved spacetime [ref] and the formalism can also be used to test the equivalence principle [ref] .

As discussed in Refs. [ref] [ref] [ref] [ref] , when discussing neutrino oscillation we might distinguish at least three different scenarios where neutrino oscillate in I) a flat spacetime, II) a curved spacetime in a non-rotating frame and III) a curved spacetime in a rotating frame.

Neutrino oscillations, in curved spacetime has gained attention in recent times [ref] , for the reason that such analysis is not only sensitive to the background geometry and hence the gravity theory at work [ref] but they also reveal some salient features of the neutrino sector which are not present in flat spacetime [ref] .
