## Sammanfattning

The Kac model is a Markov jump process on the sphere $\sum_{j=1}^{N} v_j^2$. The model was conceived as model for an N-particle system with pairwise interactions, and hence the jumps involve only pairs of coordinates, $(v_i, v_j )$. This paper deals with Kac models with unbounded jump rates. We prove that the processes are Feller processes, and introduce a diusion approximation that is useful for numerical simulation of the processes. We also study the spectral gap of the Markov generators, using the methods developed by Carlen, Carvalho and Loss.
