DESCRIPTION:Recent years witnessed a significant interest in physical\, bi
 ological and engineering properties of self-propelled particles\, such as 
 bacteria or synthetic microswimmers. One of the most striking features of 
 interacting microswimmers is the appearance of collective motion: at suffi
 ciently high densities the system is characterised by jets and vortices co
 mprising many individual microswimmers. The transition to collection motio
 n in dilute suspension of microswimmers interacting through long-range vel
 ocity fields is usually described in terms of a mean-field kinetic theory 
 that predicts the onset of collective motion in two- and three-dimensional
  bulk systems. Here\, we formulate a stochastic kinetic theory for dilute 
 microswimer suspensions and demonstrate that its predictions differ signif
 icantly from its mean-field counterpart. Our results bear important implic
 ations for the general description of the transition to collective motion 
 in two-dimensional systems.
