The cylindrical-dilatation Maxwellian asymptotics conjecture

Let BB be a collision cross-section satisfying condition with homogeneity γ<γcrit=32\gamma<\gamma_{\mathrm{crit}}=-\frac32, and let g(t,w)g(t,w) be a weak solution of the cylindrical-dilatation Boltzmann equation with shear parameter KK. Let β(t)\beta(t) be the temperature scale. Cylindrical-dilatation Maxwellian asymptotics conjecture. There exists a weak solution such that

g(t,ξβ(t))C0eξ2g\left(t,\frac{\xi}{\sqrt{\beta(t)}}\right)\longrightarrow C_0e^{-\lvert\xi\rvert^2}

in L2(R3;eξ2dξ)L^2(\mathbb{R}^3;e^{-\lvert\xi\rvert^2}d\xi) as tt\to\infty, for some C0>0C_0>0, and

β(t)=Ct43\beta(t)=Ct^{\frac43}

as tt\to\infty. The claim is presented as a consequence expected from the general Hilbert-expansion strategy for the regime γ<γcrit\gamma<\gamma_{\mathrm{crit}}; it is not proved in the source.
