Smoothing effect of weak solutions for the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation without angular cutoff. (English) Zbl 1247.35085

Summary: We consider the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation without angular cutoff. We prove that every \(L^{1}\)-weak solution to the Cauchy problem with finite moments of all orders acquires the \(C^{\infty}\)-regularity in the velocity variable for all positive time.
