The massless Boltzmann equation in cosmological and Minkowski spacetimes


  • Date : 2026/10/06 (Tue.) 10:00~13:00
  • Location : online
  • Speaker : Ho Lee (Kyung Hee University)
  • Organizer : Tai-Ping Liu (AS)
  • Abstract : In this talk, I will discuss several results on the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation for massless particles. I will first explain how the problem arises naturally in the study of the Einstein--Boltzmann system near a cosmological initial singularity. I will then consider the massless Boltzmann equation on an expanding FLRW background and discuss the future global existence of small solutions for a certain range of soft and hard interactions. Finally, I will turn to the Minkowski case. For hard interactions, a Povzner-type inequality for massless particles leads to global existence, while for soft interactions, singular weights are used to control the behavior near zero momentum and establish local existence.
