Abstract: Consider the spatially inhomogeneous Landau equation with moderately soft potentials (i.e. with gammain(−2,0)) on the whole space mathbbR3. We prove that if the initial data fmathrmin are close to the vacuum solution fmathrmvacequiv0 in an appropriate norm, then the solution f remains regular globally in time. This is the first stability of vacuum result for a binary collisional model featuring a long-range interaction. Moreover, we prove that the solutions in the near-vacuum regime approach solutions to the linear transport equation as to+infty. Furthermore, in general, solutions do not approach a traveling global Maxwellian as to+infty. Our proof relies on robust decay estimates captured using weighted energy estimates and the maximum principle for weighted quantities. Importantly, we also make use of a null structure in the nonlinearity of the Landau equation which suppresses the most slowly-decaying interactions.
