Abstract

We consider the mean-field limit of systems of particles with singular interactions of the type logx-\log|x| or xs|x|^{-s}, with 0<s<d20< s<d-2, and with an additive noise in dimensions d3d \geq 3. We use a modulated-energy approach to prove a quantitative convergence rate to the solution of the corresponding limiting PDE. When s>0s>0, the convergence is global in time, and it is the first such result valid for both conservative and gradient flows in a singular setting on Rd\mathbb{R}^d. The proof relies on an adaptation of an argument of Carlen-Loss to show a decay rate of the solution to the limiting equation, and on an improvement of the modulated-energy method developed in arXiv:1508.03377, arXiv:1803.08345, arXiv:2107.02592 making it so that all prefactors in the time derivative of the modulated energy are controlled by a decaying bound on the limiting solution.
