Symmetries and algebraic methods in neutrino physics

  • 1. Department of Physics, University of Wisconsin—Madison, WI 53706 (United States)

Description

Symmetry properties associated with neutrino propagation with or without a background of other particles, including neutrinos, is reviewed. The utility of symmetries is illustrated with examples chosen from the see-saw mechanism and both matter-enhanced and collective neutrino oscillations. The role of symmetries in neutrino astrophysics is highlighted. (topical review)
