Abstract: We prove the global existence of the non-negative unique mild solution for the Cauchy problem of the cutoff Boltzmann equation for soft potential model −1leqgamma<0 with the small initial data in three dimensional space. Thus our result fixes the gap for the case gamma=−1 in three dimensional space in the authors' previous work where the estimate for the loss term was improperly used. The other gap there for the case gamma=0 in two dimensional space is recently fixed by Chen, Denlinger and Pavlovi'{c}. The initial data f0 is non-negative, small in weighted Lx,v3 and finite in weighted Lx,v15/8. We also show that the solution scatters with respect to the kinetic transport operator. The novel contribution of this work lies in the exploration of the symmetric property of the gain term in terms of weighted estimate. It is the key ingredient for solving the model −1<gamma<0 when applying the Strichartz estimates.
