Supernova neutrino flavor evolution at high densities

Abstract

These conference proceedings cover various aspects of neutrino propagation through the high matter and neutrino densities near the proto-neutron star in a core-collapse supernova. A significant feature of this regime is the impact of neutrino-neutrino interactions. Properties of this non-linear many-neutrino system are discussed with a particular emphasis on its symmetries.
