Abstract

This paper is concerned with the Cauchy problem on the one-dimensional inhomogeneous non-cutoff Kac equation. Based on the analysis on the linearized operator obtained in [N. Lerner, Y. Morimoto, K. Pravda-Starov, and C.-J. Xu, J. Funct. Anal., 269 (2015), pp. 459-535], we first prove the existence of a global solution to the equation around a global Maxwellian by combining two sets of macro-micro decomposition. Then by using the dissipative norm of the linearized operator in the fractional Hermite-Sobolev space and using the perturbation theory, the spectrum structure of the linearized Kac equation is given. Based on this, the optimal time decay estimate for the nonlinear Kac equation is obtained.
