Abstract
Since right-handed neutrinos, if added to the Standard Model, have no gauge interactions, their kinetic terms can be mixed. I examine the related rotations of the gauge eigenstates in order to derive the propagators for the kinetic and mass terms, and I comment on the resulting lepton mixing, on the possibility of not having well-defined mass eigenstates, and on the modifications to weak contributions and observables (anomalous magnetic moment, muon decay, neutrino oscillations).
