Homogeneous Boltzmann Equation in Quantum Relativistic Kinetic Theory
by M. Escobedo, S. Mischler, M.A. Valle - American Mathematical Society
We consider some mathematical questions about Boltzmann equations for quantum particles, relativistic or non relativistic. Relevant cases such as Bose, Bose-Fermi, and photon-electron gases are studied. We also consider some simplifications ...
