I'm trying to align a short equation and a long one.
Could you explain why the highlighted parts are not properly aligned?
\documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \begin{document} \[ \left\{ \begin{aligned} d x_t^i &= v_t^i d t, \\ \begin{split} d v_t^i &= - (\nabla U (X_t^{i, n}) - \nabla U (\bar X_t^i)) d t \\ & \qquad + \bigg [ \bigg ( \frac{1}{n} \sum_{j=1}^n K (X_t^{i, n} - X_t^{j, n}) \bigg )^m - (K* \mu_t)^m (\bar X_t^i) \bigg ] d B_t^i. \end{split} \end{aligned} \right. \] \end{document}

The whole line will get a single equation number (if you decide to have it numbered), so I personally don't see any (too important) reason why you should use
split
here. You should get the desired output by the following.I deliberately changed the position of alignment to be after the equal sign, such that
-
and+
are aligned.Personally I'd also like to have the exponent after the
biggr
parenthesis to be closer to the parenthesis, so I'd prefer\biggr)^{\mkern-3mu m}
or similar.
