We study the solutions of the equation which describes the evolution of a neutrino propagating in dense homogeneous medium in the framework of the quantum field theory. In the 2-flavo model, the explicit form of the Green’s function is obtained, and as a consequence the dispersion law for a neutrino in matter is derived. Both the solutions describing the stationary states and the spin-flavor coherent states of the neutrino are found. It is shown that the stationary states of the neutrino are different from the mass states, and the wave function of a state with a definit flavor should be constructed as a linear combination of the wave functions of the stationary states with coefficients, which depend on the mixing angle in matter.
