Low-density asymptotic behavior of observables of hard sphere fluids
Summary: The paper deals with a rigorous description of the kinetic evolution of a hard sphere system in the low-density (Boltzmann-Grad) scaling limit within the framework of marginal observables governed by the dual BBGKY (Bogolyubov-Born-Green-Kirkwood-Yvon) hierarchy. For initial states specified by means of a one-particle distribution function, the link between the Boltzmann-Grad asymptotic behavior of a nonperturbative solution of the Cauchy problem of the dual BBGKY hierarchy for marginal observables and a solution of the Boltzmann kinetic equation for hard sphere fluids is established. One of the advantages of such an approach to the derivation of the Boltzmann equation is an opportunity to describe the process of the propagation of initial correlations in scaling limits.
