The main purpose of the paper is to show that the gain term of the relativistic collision operator is regularizing. This is a generalization of P. L. Lions’ analogous result in the nonrelativistic situation. The regularizing theorem has many applications in kinetic theory, and a few are discussed in this paper. In particular, the asymptotic behaviour of periodic solutions to the relativistic Boltzmann equation is studied. We show that such solutions converge strongly in $L^1 $ to a global Juttner equilibrium solution (sometimes called a relativistic Maxwellian) provided that the initial data satisfy the physically natural bounds of finite energy and entropy.
