Regularizing effects for the classical solutions to the Landau equation in the whole space.

Abstract: The Landau equation describes the binary collisional effects (through long range coulombian interaction) in a plasma. In this paper, we prove that the known classical solutions to the Landau equation near Maxwellian in the whole space have a regularizing effect in all (time, space and velocity) variables, that is, become immediately smooth with respect to all variables.
