Abstract: We consider the 3D Boltzmann equation with the constant collision kernel. We investigate the well/ill-posedness problem using the methods from nonlinear dispersive PDEs. We construct a family of special solutions, which are neither near equilibrium nor self-similar, to the equation, and prove that the well/ill-posedness threshold in $H^s$ Sobolev space is exactly at regularity $s=1$, despite the fact that the equation is scale invariant at $s=frac12$.
