This work deals with the large time behaviour of the spatially homogeneous
Landau equation with Coulomb potential. Firstly, we obtain a bound from below
of the entropy dissipation D(f) by a weighted relative Fisher information of
f with respect to the associated Maxwellian distribution, which leads to a
variant of Cercignani's conjecture thanks to a logarithmic Sobolev inequality.
Secondly, we prove the propagation of polynomial and stretched exponential
moments with an at most linearly growing in time rate. As an application of
these estimates, we show the convergence of any (H- or weak) solution to the
Landau equation with Coulomb potential to the associated Maxwellian equilibrium
with an explicitly computable rate, assuming initial data with finite mass,
energy, entropy and some higher L1-moment. More precisely, if the initial
data have some (large enough) polynomial L1-moment, then we obtain an
algebraic decay. If the initial data have a stretched exponential L1-moment,
then we recover a stretched exponential decay
