In this talk we consider a mean field optimal control problem with an aggregation-diffusion constraint, where agents interact through a potential, in the presence of a Gaussian noise term. Our analysis focuses on a PDE system coupling a Hamilton-Jacobi and a Fokker-Planck equation, describing the optimal control aspect of the problem and the evolution of the population of agents, respectively. We will discuss the existence and regularity of solutions for the aforementioned system. We notice this model is in close connection with the theory of mean-field games systems. However, a distinctive feature concerns the nonlocal character of the interaction; it affects the drift term in the Fokker-Planck equation as well as the Hamiltonian of the system, leading to new difficulties to be addressed.
