Spectral gaps play a fundamental role in many areas of mathematics, computer science, and physics. In quantum mechanics, the spectral gap of Schr\"odinger operators has a long history of study due to its physical relevance, while in quantum…

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…

We introduce a practical criterion that justifies the propagation and appearance of $L^{p}$-norms for the solutions to the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation with very soft potentials without cutoff. Such criterion also provides a new…

We consider the spatially inhomogeneous non-cutoff Boltzmann equation with moderately soft potentials and any singularity parameter $s\in (0,1)$, i.e. with $\gamma+2s\in(0,2]$ on the whole space $\mathbb{R}^3$. We prove that if the initial…

We consider a positive and power-bounded linear operator $T$ on $L^p$ over a finite measure space and prove that, if $TL^p \subseteq L^q$ for some $q > p$, then the essential spectral radius of $T$ is strictly smaller than $1$. As a special…

In order to solve the Boltzmann equation numerically, in the present work, we propose a new model equation to approximate the Boltzmann equation without angular cutoff. Here the approximate equation incorporates Boltzmann collision operator…

The linearized Boltzmann collision operator has a central role in many important applications of the Boltzmann equation. Recently some important classical properties of the linearized collision operator for monatomic single species were…

We give an explicit bound for the Wasserstein distance with quadratic cost between the solutions of Boltzmann's and Landau's equations in the case of soft and Coulomb potentials. This gives an explicit rate of convergence for the grazing…

At higher altitudes, for high temperature gases, for instance near space shuttles moving at hypersonic speed, not only mechanical collisions are affecting the gas flow, but also chemical reactions have an impact on such hypersonic flows. In…

We present a method for bounding, and in some cases computing, the spectral gap for systems of many particles evolving under the influence of a random collision mechanism. In particular, the method yields the exact spectral gap in a model…

We present new results building on the conservative deterministic spectral method for the space homogeneous Boltzmann equation developed by Gamba and Tharkabhushaman. This approach is a two-step process that acts on the weak form of the…

The purpose of this note is to demonstrate the announced result in [Loher, The Strong Harnack inequality for the Boltzmann equation, S\'eminaire Laurent Schwartz proceeding] by filling the gap in the proof sketch. We prove the semi-local…

In this paper we continue the study of the spectral gap of Schr\"odinger operators on large intervals and subject to Neumann boundary conditions. The main goal is to derive a lower bound on the spectral gap which is polynomial in the…

We extend the $L^p$-theory of the Boltzmann collision operator by using classical techniques based in the Carleman representation and Fourier analysis, allied to new ideas that exploit the radial symmetry of this operator. We are then able…

We introduce a structured approach to the construction of linear BGK-type collision operators ensuring that the resulting Lattice-Boltzmann methods are stable with respect to a weighted $L^2$-norm. The results hold for particular boundary…

In this work we present several quantitative results of convergence to equilibrium for the linear Boltzmann operator with soft potentials under Grad's angular cutoff assumption. This is done by an adaptation of the famous entropy method and…

In this work we prove global stability for the Boltzmann equation (1872) with the physical collision kernels derived by Maxwell in 1866 for the full range of inverse power intermolecular potentials, $r^{-(p-1)}$ with $p>2$. This completes…

The linearized collision operator of the Boltzmann equation can in a natural way be written as a sum of a positive multiplication operator, the collision frequency, and an integral operator. Compactness of the integral operator for…

We study a regularity property for the gain part of the relativistic Boltzmann collision operator. Our assumptions on the collisional scattering kernel cover the full range of generic hard and soft potentials with angular cut-off.

This paper deals with the long time behavior of solutions to the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation. The interactions considered are the so-called (non cut-off and non mollified) hard potentials. We prove an exponential in time…
