This article provides sharp constructive upper and lower bound estimates for the Boltzmann collision operator with the full range of physical non-cut-off collision kernels (γ>− n and s∈(0, 1)) in the trilinear L 2 (R n) energy< Q (g, f), f>. These new estimates prove that, for a very general class of g (v), the global diffusive behavior (on f) in the energy space is that of the geometric fractional derivative semi-norm identified in the linearized context in our earlier works (Gressman and Strain, 2010 [15], 2011 [16]). We further prove new global entropy production estimates with the same anisotropic semi-norm. This resolves the longstanding, widespread heuristic conjecture about the sharp diffusive nature of the non-cut-off Boltzmann collision operator in the energy space L 2 (R n).
