Kinetic Schauder estimate for time-irregular Landau coefficients

Let Q1Q_1 and Q1/2Q_{1/2} denote the kinetic cylinders appearing in the equation, let aa, cc, ff, gg, and aˉ\bar a, cˉ\bar c be the corresponding coefficients and functions, and let Dv2fD_v^2f denote the Hessian of ff in the velocity variable. For α(0,1)\alpha\in(0,1), write []Cvα(Q)[\cdot]_{C_v^\alpha(Q)} for the velocity Hölder seminorm and assume that the ellipticity condition holds. Kinetic Schauder conjecture. Fix any α(0,1)\alpha\in(0,1). If ff, Dv2fD_v^2f, aˉ\bar a, cˉ\bar c, and gg belong to Cvα(Q1)C_v^\alpha(Q_1), then

[Dv2f]Cvα(Q1/2)(1+[c]Cvα(Q1)+[a]Cvα(Q1)1+2α)fL(Q1)+(1+[a]Cvα(Q1))[g]Cvα(Q1).[D_v^2 f]_{C_v^\alpha(Q_{1/2})} \lesssim \left(1+[c]_{C_v^\alpha(Q_1)}+[a]_{C_v^\alpha(Q_1)}^{1+\frac{2}{\alpha}}\right)\|f\|_{L^\infty(Q_1)}+\left(1+[a]_{C_v^\alpha(Q_1)}\right)[g]_{C_v^\alpha(Q_1)}.

The implied constant depends only on dd, α\alpha, and Λ\Lambda. This would extend the parabolic Schauder analogy to the kinetic setting without requiring regularity in the spatial variable; the paper presents it as a conjectural strengthening of its estimates, and its status is not otherwise resolved in the supplied text.
