In this expository note (submitted to Notices of the AMS) we present the ideas used in our recent work ruling out blow up for the Landau equation with Coulomb potential. Blow up is ruled out by the discovery that the Fisher information is…
We establish an a priori estimate for the dissipation of the Fisher information for the space-homogeneous Landau equation with very soft potentials. This work is motivated by the recent breakthrough by Guillen and Silvestre, which proves…
We consider the Kac model for the space-homogeneous Landau equation with the Coulomb potential. We show that the Fisher information of the Liouville equation for the unmodified $N$-particle system is monotonically decreasing in time. The…

We consider the spatially inhomogeneous Landau equation with soft potentials, including the case of Coulomb interactions. First, we establish the existence of solutions for a short time, assuming the initial data is in a fourth-order…
Motivated by the question of existence of global solutions, we obtain pointwise upper bounds for radially symmetric and monotone solutions to the homogeneous Landau equation with Coulomb potential. The estimates say that blow up in the…
In this note we prove that, under some minimal regularity assumptions on the initial datum, solutions to the spatially homogenous Boltzmann and Landau equations for hard potentials uniformly propagate the Fisher information. The proof of…
We consider the Landau-Coulomb equation for initial data with bounded mass, finite numbers of moments, and entropy. We show the existence of a global weak solution that has bounded Fisher information for positive times. This solution is…
We study the inhomogeneous Landau equation with Coulomb potential and derive a new continuation criterion: a smooth solution can be uniquely continued for as long as it remains bounded. This provides, to our knowledge, the first…
We consider the spatially homogeneous Landau equation for multiple species with different masses. As in the single-species case, the singularity of the collision operator is determined by a parameter $\gamma \in [-3,1]$, where $\gamma = -3$…
This work deals with the large time behaviour of the spatially homogeneous Landau equation with Coulomb potential. Firstly, we obtain a bound from below of the entropy dissipation $D(f)$ by a weighted relative Fisher information of $f$ with…
These notes review the theory of Fisher information, especially its use in kinetic theory of gases and plasmas. The recent monotonicity theorem by Guillen--Silvestre for the Landau--Coulomb equation is put in perspective and generalised.…
We prove that the Fisher information is monotone decreasing in time along solutions of the space-homogeneous Boltzmann equation for a large class of collision kernels covering all classical interactions derived from systems of particles.…
We consider the spatially inhomogeneous Landau equation in the case of very soft and Coulomb potentials, $\gamma \in [-3,-2]$. We show that solutions can be continued as long as the following three quantities remain finite, uniformly in $t$…
We consider the inhomogeneous Landau equation with $\gamma \in (\sqrt{3},2]$ and construct smooth, strictly positive initial data that develop a finite time singularity. The $C^{\alpha}$-norm of the distribution function blows up for every…
In this paper, we prove global-in-time existence and uniqueness of smooth solutions to the homogeneous Landau-Fermi-Dirac equation with Coulomb potential. The initial conditions are nonnegative, bounded and integrable. We also show that any…
