Entropic solutions to the 1D pressureless Euler system with nonlocal interactions

We study weak solutions of the one-dimensional pressureless Euler-Poisson-alignment system. When smooth solutions develop singularities, distributional weak solutions are not unique. We introduce an entropy-based selection principle via an associated scalar balance law with time-dependent flux and establish global well-posedness for its entropy solutions. The resulting entropic solution yields a uniquely selected weak solution of the Euler-Poisson-alignment system. In the attractive regime, it is compatible with sticky particle dynamics, while in the repulsive regime atomic states may disperse, revealing a fundamental qualitative difference between the two cases.
