Abstract

In this paper, we study the Gevrey regularity of spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation without angular cutoff. We prove the propagation of Gevrey regularity for CC^\infty solutions with the Maxwellian decay to the Cauchy problem of spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation. The idea we use here is based on the framework of Morimoto's recent paper (See Morimoto: J. Pseudo-Differ. Oper. Appl. (2010) 1: 139-159, DOI:10.1007/s11868-010-0008-z), but we extend the range of the index γ\gamma satisfying γ+2s(1,1)\gamma + 2s \in (-1,1), s(0,1/2)s\in (0,1/2) and in this case we consider the kinetic factor in the form of Φ(v)=vγ\Phi(v)=|v|^\gamma instead of \lav\raγ\la v \ra ^\gamma as Morimoto did before.
