In a previous paper, the author proposed Symmetry Finder (SF) method for hunting symmetries in neutrino oscillation in matter, which essentially identifies a symmetry in the diagonalized Hamiltonian in matter. It was successfully applied to Denton {it et al.} (DMP) perturbation theory to identify the eight 1-2 state exchange symmetries. In this paper, we apply the SF method to the atmospheric-resonance perturbation theory and uncover the sixteen 1-3 state exchange symmetries. Meanwhile, an alternative method for finding symmetry has been discussed. If a symmetry in the vacuum part of the Hamiltonian is found, it can be regarded as the symmetry of the total Hamiltonian because the matter term is invariant, the vacuum symmetry (VS) approach. We discuss the relationship between these two methods. One of the key questions is whether the VS method can reproduce the symmetries obtained by the SF method, to which several counter arguments are presented. Moreover, we argue that the newly found 1-3 state exchange symmetries add even more difficulties. The way how the VS method could make the goal are discussed.

Expressions for neutrino oscillations contain a high degree of symmetry, but typical forms for the oscillation probabilities mask these symmetries. We elucidate the $2^7=128$ symmetries of the vacuum parameters and draw connections to the choice of d
efinitions of the parameters as well as interesting degeneracies. We also show that in the presence of matter an additional set of $2^7=128$ symmetries exist of the matter parameters for a total of $2^{14}=16,384$ symmetries of the vacuum and/or matter parameters in the oscillation probabilities in matter. Due to the complexity of the exact expressions for neutrino oscillations in matter, we show that under certain assumptions, approximate expressions have at most $2^6=64$ additional symmetries of the matter parameters for a total of $2^{13}=8,192$ symmetries. We investigate which of these symmetries apply to numerous approximate expressions in the literature and show that a more careful consideration of symmetries improves the precision of approximations.
In this paper, we study the phenomenology of a Dirac dark matter in the $L_mu-L_tau$ model and investigate the neutrino oscillation in the dark halo. Since dark matter couples to the muon neutrino and the tau neutrino with opposite sign couplings, it
contributes effective potentials, $pm A_chi$, to the evolution equation of the neutrino flavor transition amplitude, which can be significant for high energy neutrino oscillations in a dense dark matter environment. We discuss neutrino masses, lepton mixing angles, Dirac CP phase, and neutrino oscillation probabilities in the dark halo using full numerical calculations. Results show that neutrinos can endure very different matter effects. When the potential $A_chi$ becomes ultra-large, three neutrino flavors decouple from each other.
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].
By using fundamental units c, h, G as conversion factors one can easily transform the dimensions of all observables. In particular one can make them all ``geometrical, or dimensionless. However this has no impact on the fact that there are three fund
amental units, G being one of them. Only experiment can tell us whether G is basically fundamental.
The existence of light sterile neutrinos is a long standing question for particle physics. Several experimental ``anomalies could be explained by introducing ~eV mass scaled light sterile neutrinos. Many experiments are actively hunting for such ligh
t sterile neutrinos through neutrino oscillation. For long baseline experiments, matter effect needs to be treated carefully for precise neutrino oscillation probability calculation. However, it is usually time-consuming or analytical complexity. In this manuscript we adopt the Jacobi-like method to diagonalize the Hermitian Hamiltonian matrix and derive analytically simplified neutrino oscillation probabilities for 3 (active) + 1 (sterile)-neutrino mixing for a constant matter density. These approximations can reach quite high numerical accuracy while keeping its analytical simplicity and fast computing speed. It would be useful for the current and future long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments.
