Reference request: Kawasaki dynamics for Ising model
I want to learn more about Glauber and Kawasaki dynamics which, by my understanding, are used to model lattice spin systems for the pre-equilibrium Ising model.
There seems to be quite a few ...

Flavor mixing Higgs Yukawa term with both left and right chiral neutrinos and with generic masses
In p.727 of Peskin QFT, it derives a flavor mixing Higgs Yukawa term, but he assumes that the neutrinos have no mass.
However we know that we can include both left and right chiral neutrinos, and also ...
