We present the quantitative method of the recent work arXiv:2209.09340 in a simple setting, together with a compactness argument that was not included in arXiv:2209.09340 and has interest per se. We are concerned with the exponential…
This work is devoted to the analysis of the linear Boltzmann equation in a bounded domain, in the presence of a force deriving from a potential. The collision operator is allowed to be degenerate in the following two senses: (1) the…

It has been unknown in kinetic theory whether the linearized Boltzmann or Landau equation with soft potentials admits a spectral gap in the spatially inhomogeneous setting. Most of existing works indicate a negative answer because the…

Gauge-invariant boundary conditions in Euclidean quantum gravity can be obtained by setting to zero at the boundary the spatial components of metric perturbations, and a suitable class of gauge-averaging functionals. This paper shows that,…
We discuss the spectral properties of collisional semigroups associated to various models from transport theory by exploiting the links between the so-called resolvent approach and the semigroup approach. Precisely, we show that the…
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…
In this paper, we consider integral linear constraints and the dissipation inequality with linear supply rates for certain sets of trajectories confined pointwise in time to a convex cone which belongs to a finite-dimensional normed vector…
