Abstract
We construct a Boltzmann-type kinetic equation for sine-Gordon kinks w ith a kink-kink collision integral due to shifts in their coordinates, We calculate the entropy production in the kink gas due to the homoge nization of the distribution function in coordinate space. Based on th e derived kinetic equation, the coefficients of self-diffusion, intrin sic friction and thermal conductivity due to kink-kink collisions are calculated.
