Abstract: This paper is concerned with the existence, shape and dynamical stability of infinite-energy equilibria for a general class of spatially homogeneous kinetic equations in space dimensions $dgeq3$. Our results cover in particular Bobyl"ev's model for inelastic Maxwell molecules. First, we show under certain conditions on the collision kernel, that there exists an index $alphain(0,2)$ such that the equation possesses a nontrivial stationary solution, which is a scale mixture of radially symmetric $alpha$-stable laws. We also characterize the mixing distribution as the fixed point of a smoothing transformation. Second, we prove that any transient solution that emerges from the NDA of some (not necessarily radial symmetric) $alpha$-stable distribution converges to an equilibrium. The key element of the convergence proof is an application of the central limit theorem to a representation of the transient solution as a weighted sum of i.i.d. random vectors.
