Sunto
Negli ultimi anni la teoria dell'equazione di Boltzmann nonlineare ha registrato una vera folla di contributi, stimolati dal risultato fondamentale di DiPerna e Lions. In questa Memoria vogliamo passare in rassegna questi risultati dedicando un'attenzione particolare ad alcuni tra gli sviluppi più recenti.
