   <dcterms:abstract>The present thesis deals with the mathematical treatment of kinetic theory and focuses more&#xd;
precisely on the Boltzmann equation. We investigate several properties of the solutions to the latter equation: their positivity and their hydrodynamical limits for instance. We also study the local Cauchy problem for a quantic version of the Boltzmann equation.</dcterms:abstract>
