Abstract
Perhaps the most classical diffusion model for chemotaxis is the Keller–Segel system (Figure presented.) We consider the critical mass case ∫R 2u 0(x)dx=8π, which corresponds to the exact threshold between finite-time blow-up and self-similar diffusion towards zero. We find a radial function u 0 ∗ with mass 8π such that for any initial condition u 0 sufficiently close to u 0 ∗ and mass 8π, the solution u(x, t) of (∗) is globally defined and blows-up in infinite time. As t→+∞ it has the approximate profile (Formula presented.) where λ(t)≈clogt, ξ(t)→q for some c>0 and q∈R 2. This result affirmatively answers the nonradial stability conjecture raised in Ghoul and Masmoudi (Commun Pure Appl Math 71:1957–2015, 2018).
