Nonlinear stability of planar rarefaction wave to the three-dimensional Boltzmann equation

We investigate the time-asymptotic stability of planar rarefaction wave for the three-dimensional Boltzmann equation, based on the micro-macro decomposition introduced in [18, 16] and our new observations on the underlying wave structures of the equation to overcome the difficulties due to the wave propagation along the transverse directions and its interactions with the planar rarefaction wave. Note that this is the first stability result of basic wave patterns for 3D Boltzmann equation.
