  "abstract": "A realistic medium- or long-baseline neutrino experiment may suffer from terrestrial matter effects which are likely to contaminate the genuine T-violating asymmetry between \\nu_\\alpha \\to \\nu_\\beta and \\nu_\\beta \\to \\nu_\\alpha oscillations. With the help of the commutators of lepton mass matrices in matter, we show that this kind of contamination is negligible for a variety of experiments provided the neutrino beam energy E and the baseline length L satisfy the condition 10^{-7} (L/km)^2 (GeV/E) << 1. The same observation is true for the CP-violating term of the asymmetry between \\nu_\\alpha \\to \\nu_\\beta and \\bar{\\nu}_\\alpha \\to \\bar{\\nu}_\\beta oscillations in matter.",
