Abstract

The parabolic-parabolic Keller-Segel model of chemotaxis is shown to come up as the hydrodynamic system describing the evolution of the modulus square $ n(t,x) $ and the argument $ S(t,x) $ of a wavefunction $ \psi = \sqrt{n} \, e^{iS} $ that solves a cubic Schrödinger equation with focusing interaction, frictional Kostin nonlinearity and Doebner-Goldin dissipation mechanism. This connection is then exploited to construct a family of quasi-stationary solutions to the Keller-Segel system under the influence of no-flux and anti-Fick laws.
