- Abstract
- In this paper, we prove the propagation of uniform upper bounds for the spatially homogeneous relativistic Boltzmann equation. These polynomial and exponential L-infinity bounds have been known to be a challenging open problem in relativistic kinetic theory. To accomplish this, we establish two types of estimates for the gain part of the collision operator. First, we prove a potential type estimate and a relativistic hyper-surface integral estimate. We then combine those estimates using the relativistic counterpart of the Carleman representation to derive uniform control of the gain term for the relativistic collision operator. This allows us to prove the desired propagation of the uniform bounds of the solution. We further present two applications of the propagation of the uniform upper bounds: another proof of the Boltzmann H-theorem, and the asymptotic convergence of solutions to the relativistic Maxwellian equilibrium.
