Kac marginal evolution equation

ID: kac-marginal-evolution-equation

For a permutation-symmetric density in the Kac master equation, integrate over all but the first velocity. Collisions among integrated coordinates cancel. The pairs containing the first coordinate give equal terms, with coefficient . The resulting exact evolution depends on the two-coordinate marginal distribution; it is not a closed equation for the first marginal without additional asymptotic independence.
