On the quantum Boltzmann equation near Maxwellian and vacuum

We consider the non-relativistic quantum Boltzmann equation for fermions and bosons. Using the nonlinear energy method and mild formulation, we justify the global well-posedness when the density function is near the global Maxwellian and vacuum. This work is a generalization and adaptation of the classical Boltzmann theory. Our main contribution is a detailed analysis of the nonlinear operator Q in the quantum context. This is the first piece of a long-term project on the quantum kinetic equations.
