Abstract: This paper is concerned with a chemotaxis aggregation model for cells, more precisely with a parabolic-elliptic semilinear Patlak-Keller-Segel system in a ball of $mathbb{R}^N$ for $Ngeq2$. For $N=2$, this system is well known for its critical mass $8pi$. It has been proved in cite{Montaru2} that it also exhibits a critical mass phenomenon for $Ngeq3$. The main result of this paper is the exponential speed of uniform convergence of radial solutions toward the unique steady state in the subcritical case for $Ngeq2$. We stress that this covers in particular the classical Keller-Segel system with $N=2$, and that the result improves on the known results even for this most studied problem. A key tool is an associated one-dimensional degenerate parabolic problem $(PD{E}_m)$ where $m$ is proportional to the total mass of cells. The proof exploits its formal gradient flow structure $u_t=-ablamathcalF[u(t)]$ on an "infinite dimensional Riemannian manifold". In particular, we show a new Hardy type inequality, equivalent to the strict convexity of $mathcalF$ at any steady state of subcritical mass, which heuristically explains the exponential speed of convergence.
