The hard sphere gas in the Boltzmann-Grad limit

Oscar E. Lanford

Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 1981, vol. 106, issue 1, 70-76

Abstract: This talk will review what has been rigorously proved about the time-dependent behaviour of a gas of classical hard spheres in the limiting regime where the number n of particles per unit volume becomes infinitely large while the particle diameter ϵ goes to zero in such a way that nϵ2 approaches a finite non-zero limit. (It is in this limiting regime that the Boltzmann equation is expected to become exact.)
