We prove the existence of a class of large global scattering solutions of Boltzmann's equation with constant collision kernel in two dimensions. These solutions are found for $L^2$ perturbations of an underlying initial data which is…
We provide a new analysis of the Boltzmann equation with constant collision kernel in two space dimensions. The scaling-critical Lebesgue space is $L^2_{x,v}$; we prove global well-posedness and a version of scattering, assuming that the…
We review a virial-type estimate which bounds the strength of interaction for a gas of $N$ hard spheres (billiard balls) dispersing into Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$. This type of estimate has been known for decades in the context of…
We consider a gas of $N$ identical hard spheres in the whole space, and we enforce the Boltzmann-Grad scaling. We may suppose that the particles are essentially independent of each other at some initial time; even so, correlations will be…
We discuss old and new results on the mathematical justification of Boltzmann's equation. The classical result along these lines is a theorem which was proven by Lanford in the 1970s. This paper is naturally divided into three parts. I.…
In this paper, we continue our study of the Boltzmann equation by use of tools originating from the analysis of dispersive equations in quantum dynamics. Specifically, we focus on properties of solutions to the Boltzmann equation with…
Boltzmann's equation provides a microscopic model for the evolution of dilute classical gases. A fundamental problem in mathematical physics is to rigorously derive Boltzmann's equation starting from Newton's laws. In the 1970s, Oscar…
We present a fast summation method for lattice sums of the type which arise when solving wave scattering problems with periodic boundary conditions. While there are a variety of effective algorithms in the literature for such calculations,…
We use the dispersive properties of the linear Schr\"{o}dinger equation to prove local well-posedness results for the Boltzmann equation and the related Boltzmann hierarchy, set in the spatial domain $\mathbb{R}^d$ for $d\geq 2$. The proofs…
