Sharp Regularizing Effect of the Cauchy Problem for the Inhomogeneous Non-Cutoff Kac Equation

Abstract

In this work, we study the spatially inhomogeneous Kac equation with a non-cutoff cross section in a setting close to equilibrium. We prove that the solution to the Cauchy problem exhibits a sharp Gevrey-Gelfand-Shilov smoothing effect with an optimal radius. We employ a well-chosen exponential-type Fourier multiplier to establish the smoothing effect for position and velocity variables.
