Blow up analysis for Keller-Segel system

Abstract

In this paper we develop a blow up theory for the parabolic-elliptic Keller-Segel system, which can be viewed as a parabolic counterpart to the Liouville equation. This theory is applied to the study of first time singularities, ancient solutions and entire solutions, leading to a description of the blow-up limit in the first problem, and the large scale structure in the other two problems.
