In this work we study the propagation of massive Dirac neutrinos in matter with flavor mixing, using statistical techniques based on Relativistic Wigner Functions. First, we consider neutrinos in equilibrium within the Hartree approximation, and obtain the corresponding relativistic dispersion relations and effective masses. After this, we analyze the same system out of equilibrium. We verify that, under the appropiate physical conditions, the well known equations for the MSW effect are recovered. The techniques we used here appear as an alternative to describe neutrino properties and transport equations in a consistent way.

    Neutrino fast flavor instabilities are equivalent to stimulated emission of flavomons, quantum flavor waves, whose kinetic equations reproduce the linear growth rate and extend naturally beyond it.
