In neutrino oscillations, a neutrino created with one flavor can be later detected with a different flavor, with some probability. In general, the probability is computed exactly by diagonalizing the Hamiltonian operator that describes the physical system and that drives the oscillations. Here we use an alternative method developed by Ohlsson & Snellman to compute exact oscillation probabilities, that bypasses diagonalization, and that produces expressions for the probabilities that are straightforward to implement. The method employs expansions of quantum operators in terms of SU(2) and SU(3) matrices. We implement the method in the code NuOscProbExact, which we make publicly available. It can be applied to any closed system of two or three neutrino flavors described by an arbitrary time-independent Hamiltonian. This includes, but is not limited to, oscillations in vacuum, in matter of constant density, with non-standard matter interactions, and in a Lorentz-violating background.

Motivated by tremendous progress in neutrino oscillation experiments, we derive a new set of simple and compact formulas for three-flavor neutrino oscillation probabilities in matter of a constant density. A useful definition of the $eta$-gauge neutr
ino mass-squared difference $Delta^{}_* equiv eta Delta^{}_{31} + (1-eta) Delta^{}_{32}$ is introduced, where $Delta^{}_{ji} equiv m^2_j - m^2_i$ for $ji = 21, 31, 32$ are the ordinary neutrino mass-squared differences and $0 leq eta leq 1$ is a real and positive parameter. Expanding neutrino oscillation probabilities in terms of $alpha equiv Delta^{}_{21}/Delta^{}_*$, we demonstrate that the analytical formulas can be remarkably simplified for $eta = cos^2 theta^{}_{12}$, with $theta_{12}^{}$ being the solar mixing angle. As a by-product, the mapping from neutrino oscillation parameters in vacuum to their counterparts in matter is obtained at the order of ${cal O}(alpha^2)$. Finally, we show that our approximate formulas are not only valid for an arbitrary neutrino energy and any baseline length, but also still maintaining a high level of accuracy.
We construct a new perturbative framework to describe neutrino oscillation in matter with the unique expansion parameter epsilon, which is defined as Delta m^2_{21} / Delta m^2_{ren} with the renormalized atmospheric Delta m^2_{ren} equiv Delta m^2_{
31} - s^2_{12} Delta m^2_{21}. It allows us to derive the maximally compact expressions of the oscillation probabilities in matter to order epsilon in the form akin to those in vacuum. This feature allows immediate physical interpretation of the formulas, and facilitates understanding of physics of neutrino oscillations in matter. Moreover, quite recently, we have shown that our three-flavor oscillation probabilities P( u_alpha rightarrow u_beta) in all channels can be expressed in the form of universal functions of L/E. The u_e disappearance oscillation probability P( u_e rightarrow u_e) has a special property that it can be written as the two-flavor form which depends on the single frequency. This talk is based on the collaborating work with Stephen Parke [1].
The flavor transformation in a dense neutrino gas can have a significant impact on the physical and chemical evolution of its surroundings. In this work we demonstrate that a dynamic, fast flavor oscillation wave can develop spontaneously in a one-di
mensional (1D) neutrino gas when the angular distributions of the electron neutrino and antineutrino cross each other. Unlike the 2D stationary models which are plagued with small-scale flavor structures, the fast flavor oscillation waves remain coherent in the dynamic 1D model in both the position and momentum spaces of the neutrino. The electron lepton number is redistributed and transported in space as the flavor oscillation wave propagates, although the total lepton number remains constant. This result may have interesting implications in the neutrino emission in and the evolution of the compact objects such as core-collapse supernovae.
We study the reasonable requirements of two anomalous $U(1)$s in a flavored-axion framework for the anomaly cancellations of both $U(1)$-mixed gravity and $U(1)_Ytimes[U(1)]^2$ which in turn determine the $U(1)_Y$ charges where $U(1)_Y$ is the hyperc
harge gauge symmetry of the standard model. We argue that, with a flavor symmetry group, axion-induced topology in symmetry-broken phases plays crucial roles in describing how quarks and leptons are organized at a fundamental level and make deep connections with each other. A unified model, as an example, is then proposed in a simple way to describe a whole spectrum of particles where both flavored-axion interactions with normal matter and the masses and mixings of fermions emerge from the spontaneous breaking of a given symmetry group. Once a scale of active neutrino mass defined at a seesaw scale is fixed by the commensurate $U(1)$ flavored-PQ charge of fermions, that of QCD axion decay constant $F_A$ is determined. In turn, fundamental physical parameters complementary to each other are predicted with the help of precision flavor experiments. Model predictions are extracted on the characteristics of neutrino and flavored-axion: $F_A=3.57^{,+1.52}_{,-1.53}times10^{10}$ GeV (consequently, QCD axion mass $m_a=1.52^{+1.14}_{-0.46}times10^{-4}$ eV, axion to photon coupling $|g_{agammagamma}|=2.15^{+1.61}_{-0.64}times10^{-14},text{GeV}^{-1}$, axion to electron coupling $g_{Aee}=3.29^{+2.47}_{-0.98}times10^{-14}$, etc.); atmospheric mixing angle $theta_{23}$, Dirac CP phase $delta_{CP}$, and $0 ubetabeta${it-decay rate} for normal mass ordering and inverted one by taking quantum corrections into account.
We present a numerical survey of the nonlinear flavor development of dense neutrino gases. This study is based on the stationary, two-dimensional ($x$ and $z$), two-beam, monochromatic neutrino line model with a periodic boundary condition along the
$x$ direction. Similar to a previous work, we find that small-scale flavor structures can develop in a neutrino gas even if the physical conditions are nearly homogeneous along the $x$ axis initially. The power diffusion from the large-scale to small-scale structures increases with the neutrino density and helps to establish a semi-exponential dependence of the magnitudes of the Fourier moments on the corresponding wave numbers. The overall flavor conversion probabilities in the neutrino gases with small initial sinusoidal perturbations reach certain equilibrium values at large distances which are mainly determined by the neutrino-antineutrino asymmetry. Similar phenomena also exist in a neutrino gas with a localized initial perturbation, albeit only inside an expanding flavor conversion region. Our work suggests that a statistical treatment may be possible for the collective flavor oscillations of a dense neutrino gas in a multi-dimensional environment.
