Existence of finite time blow-up in Keller-Segel system

Perhaps the most classical diffusion model for chemotaxis is the Keller-Segel system $\begin{equation} \begin{cases} u_{t} =Δu - \nabla \cdot(u \nabla v) \ \ \ \text{in } \mathbb{R}^2\times(0,T),\\[5pt] v = (-Δ_{\mathbb{R}^2})^{-1} u := \displaystyle\frac {1}{2π} \displaystyle\int_{\mathbb{R}^2} \log \frac {1}{|x-z|}u(z,t) dz, \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (\star)\\[5pt] u(\cdot ,0) = u_{0}^{\star} \ge 0 \ \ \ \text{in } \mathbb{R}^2. \end{cases} \end{equation}$ We show that there exists $\varepsilon>0$ such that for any $m$ satisfying $8π<m\le 8π+\varepsilon$ and any $k$ given points $q_{1},...,q_{k}$ in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ there is an initial data $u_0^*$ of $(\star)$ for which the solution $u(x,t)$ blows-up in finite time as $t\to T$ with the approximate profile $u(x,t)=\sum_{j=1}^{k}\frac{1}{λ_{j}^{2}(t)}U\left(\frac{x-ξ_{j}(t)}{λ_{j}(t)}\right)(1+o(1)), U(y)=\frac{8}{(1+|y|^{2})^{2}},$ with $λ_{j}(t) \approx 2e^{-\frac{γ+2}{2}}\sqrt{T-t}e^{-\sqrt{\frac{|\ln(T-t)|}{2}}}$ where $γ=0.57721...$ is the Euler-Mascheroni constant, $ξ_{j}(t)\to q_{j}\in \mathbb{R}^{2}$ and such that $\int_{\mathbb{R}^2}u(x,t)dx=km.$ This construction generalizes the existence result of the stable blow-up dynamics recently proved in \cite{CGMN1,CGMN2}.
