The well-known Rutherford differential cross section, denoted by $ dOmega/dsigma$, corresponds to a two body interaction with Coulomb potential. It leads to the logarithmically divergence of the momentum transfer (or the transport cross section) which is described by $$int_{{mathbb S}^2} (1-costheta) frac{dOmega}{dsigma} dsigmasim int_0^{pi} theta^{-1}dtheta. $$ Here $theta$ is the deviation angle in the scattering event. Due to screening effect, physically one can assume that $theta_{min}$ is the order of magnitude of the smallest angles for which the scattering can still be regarded as Coulomb scattering. Under ad hoc cutoff $theta geq theta_{min}$ on the deviation angle, L. D. Landau derived a new equation in cite{landau1936transport} for the weakly interacting gas which is now referred to as the Fokker-Planck-Landau or Landau equation. In the present work, we establish a unified framework to justify Landaus formal derivation in cite{landau1936transport} and the so-called Landau approximation problem proposed in cite{alexandre2004landau} in the close-to-equilibrium regime. Precisely, (i). we prove global well-posedness of the Boltzmann equation with cutoff Rutherford cross section which is perhaps the most singular kernel both in relative velocity and deviation angle. (ii). we prove a global-in-time error estimate between solutions to Boltzmann and Landau equations with logarithm accuracy, which is consistent with the famous Coulomb logarithm. Key ingredients into the proofs of these results include a complete coercivity estimate of the linearized Boltzmann collision operator, a uniform spectral gap estimate and a novel linear-quasilinear method.

In order to solve the Boltzmann equation numerically, in the present work, we propose a new model equation to approximate the Boltzmann equation without angular cutoff. Here the approximate equation incorporates Boltzmann collision operator with angu
lar cut-off and the Landau collision operator. As a first step, we prove the well-posedness theory for our approximate equation. Then in the next step we show the error estimate between the solutions to the approximate equation and the original equation. Compared to the standard angular cut-off approximation method, our method results in higher order of accuracy.
This is the first one of two papers on the global dynamics of the original Boltzmann equations without angular cutoff on the torus. We address the problem for the hard potentials and Maxwellian molecules in the present paper. The case of soft potenti
als is left to a forthcoming paper. The key to solve the problem is the energy-entropy method which characterizes the propagation of the regularity, $H$-theorem and the interplay between the energy and the entropy. Our main results are as follows: (i) We present a unified framework to prove the well-posedness for the original Boltzmann equation for both angular cutoff and without cutoff in weighted Sobolev spaces with polynomial weights. As a consequence, we obtain an explicit formula for the asymptotics of the equation from angular cutoff to non-cutoff. (ii) We describe the global dynamics of the equation under the almost optimal assumption on the solution which makes sure that the Boltzmann collision operator behaves like a fractional Laplace operator for the velocity variable. More precisely, we obtain the propagation of the regularity for the solution and a new mechanism for the convergence of the solution to its equilibrium with quantitative estimates. (iii) We prove that any global and smooth solution to the equation is stable, i.e., any perturbed solution will remain close to the reference solution if initially they are close to each other.
It is known that in the parameters range $-2 leq gamma <-2s$ spectral gap does not exist for the linearized Boltzmann operator without cutoff but it does for the linearized Landau operator. This paper is devoted to the understanding of the formation
of spectral gap in this range through the grazing limit. Precisely, we study the Cauchy problems of these two classical collisional kinetic equations around global Maxwellians in torus and establish the following results that are uniform in the vanishing grazing parameter $epsilon$: (i) spectral gap type estimates for the collision operators; (ii) global existence of small-amplitude solutions for initial data with low regularity; (iii) propagation of regularity in both space and velocity variables as well as velocity moments without smallness; (iv) global-in-time asymptotics of the Boltzmann solution toward the Landau solution at the rate $O(epsilon)$; (v) continuous transition of decay structure of the Boltzmann operator to the Landau operator. In particular, the result in part (v) captures the uniform-in-$epsilon$ transition of intrinsic optimal time decay structures of solutions that reveals how the spectrum of the linearized non-cutoff Boltzmann equation in the mentioned parameter range changes continuously under the grazing limit.
We prove that Gevrey regularity is propagated by the Boltzmann equation with Maxwellian molecules, with or without angular cut-off. The proof relies on the Wild expansion of the solution to the equation and on the characterization of Gevrey regularity by the Fourier transform.
Departing from the weak solution, we prove the uniqueness, smoothing estimates and the global dynamics for the non cutoff spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation with moderate soft potentials. Our results show that the behavior of the solution(inclu
ding the production of regularity and the longtime behavior) can be {it characterized quantitatively} by the initial data at the large velocities, i.e.(i). initially polynomial decay at the large velocities in $L^1$ space will induce the finite smoothing estimates in weighted Sobolev spaces and the polynomial convergence rate (including the lower and upper bounds) to the equilibrium; (ii). initially the exponential decay at the large velocities in $L^1$ space will induce $C^infty$ regularization effect and the stretched exponential convergence rate. The new ingredients of the proof lie in the development of the localized techniques in phase and frequency spaces and the propagation of the exponential momentum.
