Abstract: We introduce a multi-dimensional variant of the kinetic Cucker-Smale model with singular and matrix-valued communication weight, which reduces to the singular kinetic Cucker-Smale equation in the one-dimensional case. We propose an appropriate notion of weak measure-valued solution to this second-order system and a suitable first-order reduction, which persist beyond the blow-up time in classical norms. The core of the paper is to show that both formulations are equivalent in this singular regime, thus extending the previous results from regular to weakly singular communication weights. As a consequence, we obtain: (i) global-in-time well-posedness of weak measure-valued solutions, (ii) quantitative convergence rates to equilibrium, and (iii) uniform-in-time mean-field limits thanks to the above-mentioned equivalence and our recent work on fibered gradient flows.
