We show that the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation evolves as the gradient flow of the entropy with respect to a suitable geometry on the space of probability measures which takes the collision process into account. This gradient…

We develop a new method for proving hypocoercivity for a large class of linear kinetic equations with only one conservation law. Local mass conservation is assumed at the level of the collision kernel, while transport involves a confining…
