abstract
The massive neutron star (NS) or black hole (BH) accretion disk resulting from NS--NS or NS--BH mergers is dense in neutrinos. We present the first study on the role of angular distributions in the neutrino flavor conversion above the remnant disk. In particular, we focus on "fast" pairwise conversions whose rate depends on the local angular intensity of the electron lepton number carried by neutrinos. Because of the emission geometry and the flux density of $\bar{\nu}_e$ being larger than that of $\nu_e$, fast conversions prove to be a generic phenomenon in NS--NS and NS--BH mergers for physically motivated disturbances in the mean field of flavor coherence. Our findings suggest that, differently from the core-collapse supernova case, fast flavor conversions seem to be unavoidable in compact mergers and could have major consequences for the jet dynamics and the synthesis of elements above the remnant disk.

Advection Algorithms for Quantum Neutrino Moment Transport
A modulus-phase Riemann solver for quantum neutrino moments gives fast-flavor instability growth rates and wavenumbers closer to multi-angle simulations than the prior real-imaginary implementation.

Neutrino quantum kinetics for fast flavor conversion in a time-dependent environment
Fast flavor conversion in a time-varying supernova background proceeds through three episodes and broadly agrees with static two-step model results.

Electron-neutrino lepton number crossings: Variations with the supernova core physics
In a suite of 12 supernova models, electron-neutrino lepton number crossings appear at larger radii when proto-neutron star convection is included and at smaller radii when muon production is included.

Flavor Equilibration of Supernova Neutrinos: Exploring the Dynamics of Slow Modes
Slow flavor conversion drives supernova neutrinos to a coarse-grained flavor-equilibrated state within a few inverse vacuum frequencies, with survival probabilities set by the neutrino-antineutrino density ratio alone.

Neutrino flavor instabilities in a binary neutron star merger remnant: Roles of a long-lived hypermassive neutron star
In a long-lived hypermassive neutron star merger remnant, fast flavor instabilities occur transiently and locally while collisional flavor instabilities persist widely in the disk for about one second.

Quantum break in models of axion dark matter
A modified mean-field analysis predicts that axion dark matter can undergo a quantum break into photon pairs, with multi-mode synchronization counteracting red-shift detuning.
