Transport and Fluctuations in Granular Fluids From Boltzmann Equatio

This brief offers a concise presentation of granular fluids from the  point of view of non-equilibrium statistical physics. The emphasis is on fluctuations, which can be large in granular fluids due to the small system size (the number of grains is m
