AI总结：
本文在温度变化小但有限的情形下，通过发展新的 $L^2-L^6-L^{\infty}$ 框架，首次严格证明了玻尔兹曼理论中由壁温变化引起的“幽灵效应”的数学有效性。
摘要：
在给定壁面温度分布的气体中自然发生的“幽灵效应”[Maxwell1879]，展现了经典流体理论和傅里叶定律在这一经典物理问题中无法预测的罕见动力学效应。当克努森数 $\varepsilon$ 趋于零时，体内温度的有限变化由一个 $\varepsilon$ 无穷小的、幽灵般的速度场决定，该速度场由麦克斯韦滑移边界条件所预测的切向壁温的给定有限变化所产生。数学上，这种有限变化导致基本能量估计中出现严重的 $\varepsilon^{-1}$ 奇异性和克努森层近似。这两种困难都超出了现有任何关于一般三维有界域中稳态玻尔兹曼方程的偏微分方程理论的能力范围。因此，尽管早在1960年代就发现了这种由温度变化引起的幽灵效应，其数学有效性一直是一个具有挑战性且引人入胜的开放问题，引起了困惑和怀疑。我们通过发展一个新的 $L^2-L^6-L^{\infty}$ 框架，在温度变化虽小但有限的情形下肯定地解决了这一开放问题，该框架包含四项主要创新：1) 关键的 $\mathscr{A}$-Hodge分解及其相应的局部 $\mathscr{A}$-守恒律消除了严重的 $\varepsilon^{-1}$ 体内奇异性，从而得到约化的能量估计；2) 通过动量守恒和对偶Stokes解在 $L^2$ 中获得令人惊讶的 $\varepsilon^{\frac{1}{2}}$ 增益；3) $\mathscr{A}$-守恒、能量守恒以及耦合的对偶Stokes-Poisson解将奇异性约化为 $\varepsilon^{-\frac{1}{2}}$ 的边界奇异性；4) 关键的 $\varepsilon$-截断边界层构造通过新的Hardy和BV估计消除了这种边界奇异性。
英文摘要：
Taking place naturally in a gas subject to a given wall temperature distribution [Maxwell1879], the ``ghost effect'' exhibits a rare kinetic effect beyond the prediction of classical fluid theory and Fourier law in such a classical problem in physics. As the Knudsen number $\varepsilon$ goes to zero, the finite variation of temperature in the bulk is determined by an $\varepsilon$ infinitesimal, ghost-like velocity field, created by a given finite variation of the tangential wall temperature as predicted by Maxwell's slip boundary condition. Mathematically, such a finite variation leads to the presence of a severe $\varepsilon^{-1}$ singularity and a Knudsen layer approximation in the fundamental energy estimate. Neither difficulty is within the reach of any existing PDE theory on the steady Boltzmann equation in a general 3D bounded domain. Consequently, in spite of the discovery of such a ghost effect from temperature variation in as early as 1960's, its mathematical validity has been a challenging and intriguing open question, causing confusion and suspicion. We settle this open question in affirmative if the temperature variation is small but finite, by developing a new $L^2-L^6-L^{\infty}$ framework with four major innovations: 1) a key $\mathscr{A}$-Hodge decomposition and its corresponding local $\mathscr{A}$-conservation law eliminate the severe $\varepsilon^{-1}$ bulk singularity, leading to a reduced energy estimate; 2) A surprising $\varepsilon^{\frac{1}{2}}$ gain in $L^2$ via momentum conservation and a dual Stokes solution; 3) the $\mathscr{A}$-conservation, energy conservation and a coupled dual Stokes-Poisson solution reduces to an $\varepsilon^{-\frac{1}{2}}$ boundary singularity; 4) a crucial construction of $\varepsilon$-cutoff boundary layer eliminates such boundary singularity via new Hardy and BV estimates.
