Regularity questions for Kinetic equations Kinetic equations, introduced by Boltzmann and Maxwell in the 19th century, are fundamental PDES arising is statistical mechanics. In this talk we give an introduction to this topic, state some key open problems in the area, and present some new results obtained in collaboration with M. Weidner.

Publications in Mathematics: Scope and Diversity Mathematical research is communicated through a wide range of publication formats, reflecting both the depth of the discipline and its broad connections to other fields. The 2025 publications from the Department of Mathematics at Río Piedras illustrate the richness of contemporary mathematical scholarship, spanning foundational theory, applied research, and interdisciplinary collaboration. A Culture of Scholarly Publication in Mathematics Publishing plays a central role in the culture of mathematics. Research articles undergo rigorous peer review and are shared with the international mathematical community through specialized journals, interdisciplinary outlets, and scholarly reference works. Together, these publications…
