Singularity formation for the fractional Euler-Alignment system in 1D

We study the formation of singularities for the Euler-Alignment system with influence function $\psi=\frac{k_\alpha}{|x|^\alpha}$ in 1D. As in [20] the problem is reduced to the analysis of a nonlocal 1D equation. We show the existence of singularities in finite time for any $\alpha$ in the range $0<\alpha<2$ in both the real line and the periodic case.
