The Gevrey smoothing effect for the spatially inhomogeneous Boltzmann equations without cut-off

In this article we study the Gevrey regularization effect for the spatially inhomogeneous Boltzmann equation without angular cut-off.This equation is partially elliptic in the velocity direction and degenerates in the spatial variable.We consider the nonlinear Cauchy problem for the fluctuation around the Maxwellian distribution and prove that any solution with mild regularity will become smooth in the Gevrey class at positive time with the Gevrey index depending on the angular singularity.Our proof relies on the symbolic calculus for the collision operator and the global subelliptic estimate for the Cauchy problem of the linearized Boltzmann operator.
