In anisotropic neutrino gases, νν-bar pairing instabilities emerge when the excessive pair-occupation number distribution changes sign, producing pair conversions at growth rates comparable to fast flavor instabilities.

abstract
We review the rich phenomena associated with neutrino flavor transformation in the presence of neutrino self-coupling. Our exposition centers on three collective neutrino oscillation scenarios: a simple bipolar neutrino system that initially consists of mono-energetic electron neutrinos and antineutrinos; a homogeneous and isotropic neutrino gas with multiple neutrino/antineutrino species and continuous energy spectra; and a generic neutrino gas in an anisotropic environment. We use each of these scenarios to illustrate key facets of collective neutrino oscillations. We discuss the implications of collective neutrino flavor oscillations for core collapse supernova physics and for the prospects of obtaining fundamental neutrino properties, e.g., the neutrino mass hierarchy and $\theta_{13}$ from a future observed supernova neutrino signal.

Proposes using solar ^8B and muon-decay-at-rest neutrinos as calibration sources to constrain the ν_e-Ar cross section and reduce nuclear model bias in DUNE supernova neutrino detection.
Tensor network simulations of two-flavor neutrinos link spectral splits to peaks in entanglement entropy and local minima in non-local magic, indicating resource redistribution drives the phenomenon.
MSW resonances in collapsing supermassive stars swap neutrino flavors adiabatically in the normal hierarchy for neutrinos and inverted hierarchy for antineutrinos, altering the initial 5:1 electron-to-muon/tau flux ratio.
A WKB ray-tracing framework shows that supernova matter gradients sweep flavomons through the unstable wavenumber range, strongly limiting slow-instability growth below the shock while leaving growth outside it largely intact.
In post-merger disks, electron-lepton-number crossings drive fast flavor instabilities that enhance heavy lepton neutrino fluxes, while collisional instabilities are subdominant and asymmetrically raise heavy-flavor antineutrino energies.
In a neutrino-gas model, the many-body Hamiltonian yields different evolution timescales and asymptotics than the quantum kinetic approach with collisions, while quantum resources for the full case sit at the low end for HEP problems and mid-to-high for quantum chemistry.
Neutronization burst and accretion-phase rise-time observables from a 10 kpc core-collapse supernova enable DUNE, HK and JUNO to discriminate neutrino mass ordering at 3-6 sigma using multiple progenitor simulations.
Many-body neutrino calculations in simple momentum-state configurations yield helicity conversion probabilities orders of magnitude above mean-field results due to momentum exchange.
Hybrid HF-CRPA calculations predict lower allowed cross sections for charged-current ν_e on 40Ar at low energies, leading to ~20% fewer events in DUNE for a galactic supernova burst than the prior MARLEY model.
