We show that a self-interacting neutrino gas can spontaneously acquire a non-stationary pulsating component in its flavor content, with a frequency that can exactly cancel the "multi-angle" refractive effects of dense matter. This can then enable homogeneous and inhomogeneous flavor conversion instabilities to exist even at large neutrino and matter densities, where the system would have been stable if the evolution were strictly stationary. Large flavor conversions, especially close to a supernova core, are possible via this novel mechanism. This may have important consequences for the explosion dynamics, nucleosynthesis, as well as for neutrino observations of supernovae.

Theory of neutrino slow flavor evolution. Part I. Homogeneous medium
Slow neutrino flavor instabilities split into a new resonant small-scale branch with growth rate ~omega_E/epsilon and the familiar non-resonant branch with the traditional scale 1/sqrt(omega_E mu).

Theory of neutrino slow flavor evolution. Part II. Space-time evolution of linear instabilities
All weak fast and slow neutrino flavor instabilities are convective, so they grow spatially along neutrino directions rather than locally in time.

Resolution requirements for numerical modeling of neutrino quantum kinetics
A resolution study of neutrino quantum kinetics shows that under-resolving spatial modes suppresses flavor instability growth and leads to wrong asymptotic flavor conversion states.

Neutrino halo effect on collective neutrino oscillation in iron core-collapse supernova model of a 9.6 $M_{\odot}$ star
For a 9.6 solar mass supernova, including scattered halo neutrinos delays the onset of collective neutrino oscillation at early times and sharpens spectral swap features, improving their detectability.
