Review text

General existence results for the Boltzmann equation governing particles in a rarefied homogeneous gas are difficult to obtain. Many works deal either with the non-physical equation with angular cut-off or with Maxwell molecules for which the cross-section depends only on the angular variable. Following Tanaka's method, the authors consider much more general spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equations and introduce an auxiliary nonlinear Poisson-driven stochastic differential equation: The density of the solution is a weak solution to the Boltzmann equation. A key tool in the proof is a weak criterion of absolute continuity which provides them with a simple criterion of absolute continuity for the solution of a linear Poisson-driven stochastic differential equation.
