Neutrino oscillations, mirror world and their implications in astrophysics.


We consider the modern status of searches for neutrino masses and mixing as well as hypothesis of existence of an additional type of neutrino (sterile or mirror neutrino). The theory of formation of lightest elements in Big Bang and other processes is reviewed, also mentioned are observations of primordial abundances and their determination techniques. Influence of neutrino masses and mixing of neutrinos with mirror partners is explored. We also present basics of theory of oscillating neutrino in matter and in the hot Universe. Further implications of mirror world hypothesis such as clustering of mirror baryonic matter and possible role of mirror neutrinos in GRB's are discussed.
