✦ Synopsis

The quantum Boltzmann equation, or Fokker-Planck equation, has been used to successfully explain a number of experiments in semiconductor optics in the past two decades. This paper reviews some of the developments of this work, including models of excitons in bulk materials, electron-hole plasmas, and polariton gases.

## Abstract It is well‐established that renormalized solutions of the Boltzmann equation enjoy some kind of regularity, or at least compactness, in the velocity variable when the angular collision kernel is nonintegrable. However, obtaining explicit estimates in convenient and natural functional se

In a classic paper Max Planck derived an equation, now known as the Fokker-Planck equation, which plays a central role in the statistics description of many body problems. The equation is used in many branches of physics as well as chemistry and biology to describe a variety of different processes.
