contents We prove Li-Yau and Aronson-Bénilan type estimates for the parabolic-elliptic Keller-Segel system with critical exponent $m=2-\frac 2d$, i.e. lower bounds on the Laplacian of a suitable notion of pressure in any dimension. We show that these estimates entail $L^{\infty}$ bounds on the density, depending on its initial mass, up to the critical mass case for $d \in \{ 2, 3 \}$. We deduce from these results the global existence of smooth solutions in two cases: first, when the initial data is merely a measure but has sufficiently small mass; and second, when the initial free energy is bounded, and the mass is subcritical or critical. Our argument requires a careful study of the subsolutions of the Liouville and Lane-Emden equations arising in the model.
