A new characterization and global regularity of infinite energy   solutions to the homogeneous Boltzmann equation
  The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new characterization of the characteristic functions for the study on the measure valued solution to the homogeneous Boltzmann equation so that it precisely captures the moment constraint in physics. This significantly improves the previous result by Cannone-Karch [CPAM 63(2010), 747-778] in the sense that the new characterization gives a complete description of infinite energy solutions for the Maxwellian cross section. In addition, the global in time smoothing effect of the infinite energy solution except for a single Dirac mass initial datum is justified as for the finite energy solution.
