Abstract
We establish the uniqueness of large solutions to the non-cutoff Boltzmann equation with moderate soft potentials. Specifically, the weak solution is unique as long as it has finite energy, in the sense that the norm remains bounded for some sufficiently large . As a byproduct, we establish stability for initial data . Our approach employs dilated dyadic decompositions in phase space to capture hypoellipticity and to reduce the fractional derivative structure of the Boltzmann collision operator to zeroth order. The difficulties posed by the large solution are overcome through the negative-order hypoelliptic estimate that gains integrability in .
