Abstract
The paper considers macroscopic behavior of a Fermi–Dirac particle system. We prove the L1-compactness of velocity averages of weak solutions of the Boltzmann equation for Fermi–Dirac particles in a periodic box with the collision kernel b(cos θ)|ρ−ρ*|γ, which corresponds to very soft potentials: −5 < γ ≤ −3 with a weak angular cutoff: ∫0πb(cos θ)sin 3θ dθ < ∞. Our proof for the averaging compactness is based on the entropy inequality, Hausdorff–Young inequality, the L∞-bounds of the solutions, and a specific property of the value-range of the exponent γ. Once such an averaging compactness is proven, the proof of the existence of weak solutions will be relatively easy.
