Abstract
We studied neutrino flavor oscillations under the influence of gravitational lensing in the Scalar–Tensor–Vector Gravity (MOG) framework, focusing on the weak-field regime and adopting the plane-wave approximation. By analyzing how curved spacetime modifies the phase and transition probabilities of neutrinos, we showed that the deformation parameters in the MOG metric can significantly affect flavor transitions. The results demonstrate that MOG corrections may lead to observable deviations from standard predictions, offering a possible probe of modified gravity through high-precision neutrino observations.
