Abstract

Consider the Landau equation with Coulomb potential in a periodic box. We develop a new L2LL^{2}\rightarrow L^{\infty } framework to construct global unique solutions near Maxwellian with small L L^{\infty }\ norm. The first step is to establish global L2L^{2} estimates with strong velocity weight and time decay, under the assumption of LL^{\infty } bound, which is further controlled by such L2L^{2} estimates via De Giorgi's method \cite{golse2016harnack} and \cite{mouhot2015holder}. The second step is to employ estimates in SpS_{p} spaces to control velocity derivatives to ensure uniqueness, which is based on Holder estimates via De Giorgi's method \cite{golse2016harnack}, \cite{golse2015holder}, and \cite{mouhot2015holder}.
