Analysis of PDEs 2026-05-05 v3

Abstract

We broaden the application of the l2l^{2}-decoupling theorem to the Boltzmann equation. We prove Strichartz estimates for the linear problem in the Td\mathbb{T}^d setting. We establish space-time bilinear estimates, and hence the unconditional uniqueness of solutions to the Rd\mathbb{R}^d and Td\mathbb{T}^d Boltzmann equation for the Maxwellian particle and soft potential with an angular cutoff, adopting a unified hierarchy scheme originally developed for the nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation.
