Abstract

In this paper we prove the existence of solutions of the Uehling–Uhlenbeck equation that behave like $k^{-7/6}$ as $k\to0$. From the physical point of view, such solutions can be thought as particle distributions in the space of momentum having a sink (or a source) of particles with zero momentum. Our construction is based on the precise estimates of the semigroup for the linearized equation around the singular function $k^{-7/6}$ that we obtained in an earlier paper.
