So I have learned that an interaction term in a Lagrangian like: L= kρσ
can result in "domain wall" problems between the fields ρ and σ.

I imagine this means that it can result in particles spontaneously changing mass, spin, or some other property, violating conservation laws. Is that why this is a problem, or is there some other issue?

Is this sort of thing akin to a B-L sphaleron?

Is this in any way related to neutrino oscillation, or theoretical possibility that a muon oscillates into an electron without producing any other decay products?

a very good question! or questions. Maybe @fzero has an answer.
I can only give a hint to this problem, because I'm not sure how to solve and if I'm right.

If we have a theory with a M background, then it must be covariant like in the superspace and then the Lagrangian does not contain non dynamical-fields nor Lagrange multipliers.
But I think @fzero is able to explain it much better.
 
I seem to notice a buildup of papers like this: Detecting single gravitons with quantum sensing. (OK, old one.) Toward graviton detection via photon-graviton quantum state conversion Is this akin to “we’re soon gonna put string theory to the test”, or are these legit? Mind, I’m not expecting anyone to read the papers and explain them to me, but if one of you educated people already have an opinion I’d like to hear it. If not please ignore me. EDIT: I strongly suspect it’s bunk but...
