Well-posedness and asymptotic behavior of an aggregation model with intrinsic interactions on sphere and other manifolds

We investigate a model for collective behavior with intrinsic interactions on Riemannian manifolds. We establish the well-posedness of measure-valued solutions (defined via mass transport) on sphere, as well as investigate the mean-field particle approximation. We study the long-time behavior of solutions to the model on sphere, where the primary goal is to establish sufficient conditions for a consensus state to form asymptotically. Well-posedness of solutions and the formation of consensus are also investigated for other manifolds (e.g., a hypercylinder).
