%X This paper is devoted mainly to the global existence problem for the two-dimensional parabolic-parabolic Keller-Segel in the full space. We derive a critical mass threshold below which global existence is ensured. Using carefully energy methods and ad hoc functional inequalities we improve and extend previous results in this direction. The given threshold is supposed to be the optimal criterion, but this question is still open. This global existence result is accompanied by a detailed discussion on the duality between the Onofri and the logarithmic Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequalities that underlie the following approach.
