Abstract: The global existence of a solution of the semiconductor Boltzmann-Dirac-Benney equation [ partial_t f +

ablaepsilon(p)cdot abla_x f - abla ho_f(x,t)cdot

abla_p f = frac{mathcal F_lambda(p)-f} au, quad xinmathbb{R}^d, pin B, t>0 ] is shown for small $au>0$ assuming that the initial data are analytic and sufficiently close to $mathcal{F}_{l}ambda$. This system contains an interaction potential $h{o}_f(x,t):=in{t}_{B}f(x,p,t)dp$ being significantly more singular than the Coulomb potential, which causes major structural difficulties in the analysis. The semiconductor Boltzmann-Dirac-Benney equation is a model for ultracold atoms trapped in an optical lattice. Hence, the dispersion relation is given by $epsilon(p)=-su{m}_{i=1}^d$ $cos(2pi{p}_i)$, $pinB=mathbb{T}^d$ due to the optical lattice and the Fermi-Dirac distribution $mathcal{F}_{l}ambda(p)=1/(1+exp(-lambd{a}_0-lambd{a}_{1}epsilon(p)))$ describes the equilibrium of ultracold fermionic clouds. This equation is closely related to the Vlasov-Dirac-Benney equation with $epsilon(p)=frac{p}^{2}2$, $pinB=mathbb{R}^d$ and r.h.s$.=0$, where the existence of a global solution is still an open problem. So far, only local existence and ill-posedness results were found for theses systems. The key technique is based of the ideas of Mouhot and Villani by using Gevrey-type norms which vary over time. The global existence result for small initial data is also shown for a far more general setting, namely [partial_t f + Lf=Q(f),] where $L$ is a generator of an $C^0$-group with $|e^{tL}|leqC{e}^{omegat}$ for all $tinmathbbR$ and $omega>0$ and, where further additional analytic properties of $L$ and $Q$ are assumed.
