Description: The Boltzmann equations are nonlinear, non-local partial differential equations. They describe the evolution of the distribution of particles in a non-equilibrium dilute gas system, where the particles interact via two-particle elastic collisions. The Boltzmann equations play an important role in both mathematics and physics. Due to their complexity, many problems related to the Boltzmann equations remain open.
In this seminar, we will start with the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equations (where the positions are degenerate) to discuss well-posedness, the H-Theorem related to dissipative entropy, and the propagation of regularities. Then, we will move on to the inhomogeneous Boltzmann equations, addressing their Cauchy problems and hydrodynamic limits to Navier-Stokes equations. The specific topics will be tailored to match the level and interests of the participants.

The binding module descriptions contain further information, including specifications on the "types of assignments" students need to complete. In cases where a module description mentions more than one kind of assignment, the respective member of the teaching staff will decide which task(s) they assign the students.
