Jeans type analysis of chemotactic collapse
Pierre-Henri Chavanis, Clement Sire
We perform a linear dynamical stability analysis of a general hydrodynamic model of chemotactic aggregation [Chavanis & Sire, Physica A, in press (2007)]. Specifically, we study th…

Kinetic and hydrodynamic models of chemotactic aggregation
Pierre-Henri Chavanis, Clement Sire
We derive general kinetic and hydrodynamic models of chemotactic aggregation that describe certain features of the morphogenesis of biological colonies (like bacteria, amoebae, end…

Critical mass of bacterial populations and critical temperature of self-gravitating Brownian particles in two dimensions
Pierre-Henri Chavanis
We show that the critical mass M_c=8πof bacterial populations in two dimensions in the chemotactic problem is the counterpart of the critical temperature T_c=GMm/4k_B of self-gravi…
