Anyons are (quasi)particles that exist in one and two-dimensions besides fermions and bosons.
The exchange of two identical anyons may cause a phase shift different from π (fermions) and 2π
(bosons). In [1], also the limiting case α = 1 is discussed, a Boltzmann-Nordheim (BN) equation
[11] for fermions. In the present paper we shall consider the other limiting case, α = 0, which is a

BN equation for bosons.
For the bosonic BN equation general existence results were first obtained by X. Lu in [7] in the
space-homogeneous isotropic boson large data case. It was followed by a number of interesting
studies in the same isotropic setting, by X. Lu [8, 9, 10], and by M. Escobedo and J.L. Vel´azquez
[5, 6]. Results with the isotropy assumption removed, were recently obtained by M. Briant and A.
Einav [3]. Finally a space-dependent case close to equilibrium has been studied by G. Royat in [12].
Thepapers[7,8,9,10]byLu,studytheisotropic, space-homogeneous BNequationbothforCauchy
data leading to mass and energy conservation, and for data leading to mass loss when time tends
to infinity. Escobedo and Vel´asquez in [5, 6], again in the isotropic space-homogeneous case, study
initial data leading to concentration phenomena and blow-up in finite time of the L -norm of the
∞
solutions. The paper [3] by Briant and Einav removes the isotropy restriction and obtain in poly-
nomially weighted spaces of L1 L type, existence and uniqueness on a time interval [0,T ). In

[3] either T = , or for finite T the L -norm of the solution tends to infinity, when time tends

to T . Finally the paper [12] considers the space-dependent problem, for a particular setting close

to equilibrium, and proves well-posedness and convergence to equilibrium.
Thepresentpaperstudies aspace-dependent, large dataproblemfor theBNequation. Theanalysis
is based on the anyon results in [1], which are restricted to a slab set-up, since the proofs in [1] use
an estimate for the Bony functional only valid in one space dimension. Due to the filling factor
F (f), those proofs also in an essential way depend on the two-dimensional velocity frame. By a

The Cauchy problem for a space-dependent anyon Boltzmann equation in a slab was studied in [1].
That paper will be the starting point for the proof of Theorem 1.1, so we recall the main results
from [1].

To obtain Theorem 1.1 for the boson BN equation from the anyon results, we start from a fixed
initial value f bounded by 2L with L N. We shall prove that there is a time T > 0 independent

from the anyon paper are sharpened to obtain control in terms of only mass, energy and L. We
then prove that the limit f of the solutions f when α 0 solves the corresponding bosonic BN
