Abstract: In this paper, we address the local well-posedness of the spatially inhomogeneous non-cutoff Boltzmann equation when the initial data decays polynomially in the velocity variable. We consider the case of very soft potentials gamma+2s<0. Our main result completes the picture for local well-posedness in this decay class by removing the restriction gamma+2s>−3/2 of previous works. Our approach is entirely based on the Carleman decomposition of the collision operator into a lower order term and an integro-differential operator similar to the fractional Laplacian. Interestingly, this yields a very short proof of local well-posedness when gammain(−3,0] and sin(0,1/2) in a weighted C1 space that we include as well.
