Regularization properties of the 2D homogeneous Boltzmann equation without cutoff
Abstract
We consider the 2-dimensional spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation for hard potentials. We assume that the initial condition is a probability measure that has some exponential moments and is not a Dirac mass. We prove some regularization properties: for a class of very hard potentials, the solution instantaneously belongs to H(r) , for some r is an element of (-1, 2) depending on the parameters of the equation. Our proof relies on the use of a well-suited Malliavin calculus for jump processes.
