    For a specific choice of the diffusion, the parabolic-elliptic Patlak-Keller-Segel system with non-linear diffusion (also referred to as the quasi-linear Smoluchowski-Poisson equation) exhibits an interesting threshold phenomenon: there is a critical mass Mc>0M_c>0 such that all the solutions with initial data of mass smaller or equal to McM_c exist globally while the solution blows up in finite time for a large class of initial data with mass greater than McM_c. Unlike in space dimension 2, finite mass self-similar blowing-up solutions are shown to exist in space dimension d?3d?3
