In this paper, we consider the Boltzmann equation for a polyatomic gas. We establish that the mild solution to the Boltzmann equation on the torus is globally well-posed, provided the initial data that satisfy bounded velocity-weighted L∞ norm and the smallness condition on the initial relative entropy. Furthermore, we also study the asymptotic behavior of solutions, converging to the global Maxwellian with an exponential rate. A key point in the proof is to develop the pointwise estimate on the gain term of non-linear collision operator for Grönwall's argument.
