Regularity theory for the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation with cut-off
Résumé
We develop the regularity theory of the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation with cut-off and hard potentials (for instance, hard spheres), by (i) revisiting the Lp-theory to obtain constructive bounds, (ii) establishing propagation of smoothness and singularities, (iii) obtaining estimates about the decay of the sin- gularities of the initial datum. Our proofs are based on a detailed study of the “regularity of the gain operator”. An application to the long-time behavior is presented.
