%0 Journal Article %T Existence of solutions for the Keller-Segel model of chemotaxis with measures as initial data %A Piotr Biler %A Jacek Zienkiewicz %J Mathematics %D 2015 %I arXiv %R 10.4064/ba63-1-6 %X A simple proof of the existence of solutions for the two-dimensional Keller-Segel model with measures with all the atoms less than $8\pi$ as the initial data is given. This result has been obtained by Senba--Suzuki and Bedrossian--Masmoudi using different arguments. Moreover, we show a uniform bound for the existence time of solutions as well as an optimal hypercontractivity estimate. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1507.00497v2
