Abstract. In this paper we derive formulae for the eigenvalues and spectral gap of the master equation for general collision kernels. We prove a conjecture of Mark Kac's on the existence of a spectral gap independent of the number of particles. We relate the eigenvalues to the “nonlinear” eigenvalues that occur in the exact solutions of model Boltzmann equations due to M. Ernst.
