Gevrey smoothing conjecture for the non-cutoff homogeneous Boltzmann equation

Let 0<ν<10<\nu<1 be the order of the singular cross section kernel, and let ff be a weak solution of the non-cutoff homogeneous Boltzmann equation in Rd\mathbb{R}^d with initial datum in L21(Rd)LlogL(Rd)L^1_2(\mathbb{R}^d)\cap L\log L(\mathbb{R}^d), meaning finite mass, energy, and entropy. Gevrey smoothing conjecture. The solution belongs to the Gevrey class G12ν(Rd)G^{\frac{1}{2\nu}}(\mathbb{R}^d) for every strictly positive time. This predicts instantaneous Gevrey regularity for weak solutions with finite mass, energy, and entropy; the paper proves the conjecture for Maxwellian molecules.
