“The Navier-Stokes Limit of the Boltzmann Equation”
Abstract: 

The talk will describe the process by which the equations of 
hydrodynamics (in this case the incompressible Navier-Stokes 
equations in three space dimensions) can be rigrously derived 
from the Boltzmann equation, which is the fundamental motion 
equation in the kinetic theory of gases. The emphasis will be put 
on methods that lead to derivations that are global in time and 
valid for initial data of arbitrary size.
