Employing the relativistic kinetic equations for neutrinos interacting with dense plasmas via the weak interaction force, we explore collective plasma instabilities driven by neutrinos. We examine the anomalous energy transfer between the neutrinos and the background plasma via excitation of electron plasma waves. We present the relativistic equations including the inclusion of external magnetic fields. Solutions of the dispersion equation describing the coupling between a neutrino beam and a plasma wave demonstrates the existence of two regimes a) the kinetic regime and b) the hydro dynamical regime. We demonstrate that the hydro dynamical regime has a growth rate many orders of magnitude larger than the kinetic regime. A nonlinear equation describing the coupling of electron plasma is derived from the relativistic kinetic equations where the neutrino pondermotive force is explicitly written. We show the similarity between a neutrino beam driven plasma wave and an electron beam driven plasma wave, there is also a striking similarity to photon driven plasma wakes. We also derive an expression for the ponderomotive force in the presence of a magnetic field, which may be responsible for the birth velocity of pulsars.
