Bargmann-Fock Representation and Global Estimates for the Linearized Hard-Sphere Boltzmann Operator

We study the linearized Boltzmann collision operator for three-dimensional hard spheres and reorganize the complete operator so that its angular and radial structures are explicit before any Sonine truncation. From the Carleman representation, the collision integral becomes a superposition of orthogonal translations; in Hermite/Fock and Bargmann form these generate a single analytic coherent-state kernel for all Hermite collision brackets. Rotational covariance separates fixed angular-momentum sectors, each reducing exactly to a one-variable radial Bargmann space with an $\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{u}(1,1)$ structure. The radial operator is ${\mathfrak{A}}_{\mathrm{\ell }}=\kappa \pi G({\mathcal{J}}_{\mathrm{\ell }})-{\mathfrak{C}}_{\mathrm{\ell }}$, where ${\mathcal{J}}_{\mathrm{\ell }}$ is an explicit Laguerre–Jacobi operator and ${\mathfrak{C}}_{\mathrm{\ell }}$ is compact. A unitary intertwiner identifies this realization with the classical Burnett/Sonine coordinate, recovering the Burnett matrix and standard stress and heat-flux corrections. For the untruncated operator, the compact gain gives only compact corrections, while the loss sets the common essential spectrum $[{\nu }_{\min },\mathrm{\infty })$. Radially squeezed $\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{u}(1,1)$ coherent packets yield threshold Weyl sequences in every fixed angular sector. With $\mathrm{\ell }\to \mathrm{\infty }$ and squeezing scaled as ${\mathrm{\ell }}^{-1}$, they furnish full-space Weyl sequences throughout the essential band interior, with $⟨j⟩\sim {\mathrm{\ell }}^2$, revealing quadratic continuum corridors in the $(\mathrm{\ell },j)$ plane. At fixed $\mathrm{\ell }$ and $j\to \mathrm{\infty }$, the matrix tail approaches a universal Toeplitz operator whose zero at $\theta =\pi$ is the local signature of the same threshold escape. Thus the Fock reformulation provides exact radialization and constructive control of the global spectral geometry.
