About the regularizing properties of the non-cut-off Kac equation. (English) Zbl 0827.76081

Summary: We prove that under suitable assumptions, the solution of the spatially homogeneous non-cut-off Kac equation (or of the spatially homogeneous non cut-off two-dimensional Boltzmann equation with Maxwellian molecules in the radial case) becomes very regular with respect to the velocity variable as soon as the time is strictly positive.
