This article considers a long-outstanding open question regarding the Jacobian determinant for the relativistic Boltzmann equation in thecenter-of-momentumcoordinates. For the Newtonian Boltzmann equation, the center-of-momentum coordinates have played a large role in the study of the Newtonian non-cutoff Boltzmann equation, in particular we mention the widely used cancellation lemma . In this article we calculate specifically the very complicated Jacobian determinant, in ten variables, for the relativistic collision map from the momentumpto the post collisional momentum; specifically we calculate the determinant for \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$p\mapsto u = \theta p'+\left( 1-\theta \right) p$$\end{document} for. Afterwards we give an upper-bound for this determinant that has no singularity in bothpandqvariables. Next we give an example where we prove that the Jacobian goes to zero in a specific pointwise limit. We further explain the results of our numerical study which shows that the Jacobian determinant has a very large number of distinct points at which it is machine zero. This generalizes the work of Glassey-Strauss (1991) and Guo-Strain (2012) . These conclusions make it difficult to envision a direct relativistic analog of the Newtonian cancellation lemma in the center-of-momentum coordinates.
