Stability of vacuum for the Landau equation with hard potentials
Abstract
We consider the spatially inhomogeneous Landau equation with Maxwellian and hard potentials (i.e with ) on the whole space . We prove that if the initial data are close to the vacuum solution in an appropriate weighted norm then the solution 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 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.
