## TL;DR

This paper shows that solutions to the Boltzmann equation are smooth and decay under certain physical constraints, with results also applying to the Landau equation.

## Contribution

New uniform regularity and decay estimates for the Boltzmann equation without cut-off, conditional on macroscopic bounds.

## Key findings

- Solutions to the Boltzmann equation have uniform L∞ bounds under macroscopic constraints for hard potentials.
- C∞ estimates and derivative decay follow from the L∞ bounds.
- Results extend to the Landau equation as the limit s approaches 1.

## Abstract

We prove that solutions to the Boltzmann equation without cut-off satisfying pointwise bounds on some observables (mass, pressure, and suitable moments) enjoy a uniform bound in \documentclass[12pt]{minimal}
