Abstract

We consider the spatially inhomogeneous Landau equation with Maxwellian and hard potentials (i.e with γ[0,1)\gamma\in[0,1)) on the whole space R3\mathbb{R}^3. We prove that if the initial data finf_{\text{in}} are close to the vacuum solution fvac=0f_{\text{vac}}=0 in an appropriate weighted norm then the solution ff exists globally in time. This work builds up on the author's earlier work on local existence of solutions to Landau equation with hard potentials. Our proof uses L2L^2 estimates and exploits the null-structure established by Luk [Stability of vacuum for the Landau equation with moderately soft potentials, Annals of PDE (2019) 5:11]. To be able to close our estimates, we have to couple the weighted energy estimates, which were established by the author in a previous paper [Local existence for the Landau equation with hard potentials, arXiv:1910.11866], with the null-structure and devise new weighted norms that take this into account.
