ABSTRACT:
We show that if a rearrangement invariant Banach function space
$E$ on
the positive semi-axis satisfies a non-trivial lower $q-$
estimate with
constant $1$ then the corresponding space $E(\nm)$ of
$\tau-$measurable
operators, affiliated with an arbitrary semi-finite von Neumann
algebra
$\nm$ equipped with a distinguished faithful, normal, semi-finite
trace
$\tau $, has the uniform Kadec-Klee property for the topology of
local
convergence in measure.  In particular, the Lorentz function
spaces
$L_{q,p}$ and the Lorentz-Schatten classes ${\cal C}_{q,p}$ have
the
UKK property for convergence locally in measure and for the
weak-operator topology, respectively. As a partial converse , we
show
that if $E$ has the UKK property with respect to local
convergence in
measure then $E$ must satisfy some non-trivial lower
$q$-estimate. We
also prove a uniform Kadec-Klee result for local convergence in
any
Banach lattice satisfying a lower $q$-estimate.

Abstract:
 A Banach space $\X$ has the complete continuity property  (CCP)
if each  bounded linear operator from $L_1$ into $\X$
is completely continuous
(i.e.,  maps weakly convergent sequences to norm convergent
sequences).
The main theorem shows that  a Banach space failing the CCP
(resp.,  failing  the CCP and failing cotype)
has a subspace with a
finite dimensional decomposition
(resp.,  basis)
which fails the CCP.

Abstract:
The main result of this paper is that every non-reflexive subspace $Y$
of $L_1[0,1]$ fails the fixed point property for closed, bounded,
convex subsets $C$ of $Y$ and nonexpansive (or contractive) mappings on
$C$.  Combined with a theorem of Maurey we get that for subspaces $Y$
of $L_1[0,1]$, $Y$ is reflexive if and only if $Y$ has the fixed point
property. For general Banach spaces the question as to whether
reflexivity implies the fixed point property and the converse question
are both still open.

Abstract: We will prove an abstract comparision principle which
translates gaussian cotype in Rademacher cotype conditions and vice
versa. More precisely, let $2\!<\!q\!<\!\infty$ and $T:\,C(K)\,\to\,F$
a linear, continous operator.

 T is of gaussian cotype q if and only if

    ( \summ_1^n (\frac{|| Tx_k||_F}{\sqrt{\log(k+1)}})^q
     )^{1/q} \, \le  c || \summ_1^n \varepsilon_k x_k ||_{L_2(C(K))} ,

for all sequences with $(|| Tx_k ||)_1^n$ decreasing.

 T is of Rademacher cotype q if and only if

     (\summ_1^n (|| Tx_k||_F \,\sqrt{\log(k+1)})^q
     )^{1/q} \, \le  c
    || \summ_1^n g_k x_k ||_{L_2(C(K))} ,

for all sequences with $(||Tx_k ||)_1^n$ decreasing.


Our methods allows a restriction to a fixed number of
vectors and complements the corresponding results of Talagrand.

Abstract. We study the relationships between Gateaux, weak Hadamard and
Frechet
differentiability and their bornologies for Lipschitz and for convex
functions.
In particular, Frechet and weak Hadamard differentiabily coincide for
all
Lipschitz functions if and only if the space is reflexive
(an earlier paper of the first two authors
shows that these two notions of differentiability
coincide for continuous convex functions if and only if the space does
not
contain a copy of $\ell_1$).
We also examine when Gateaux and weak Hadamard differentiability
coincide
for continuous convex functions. For instance, spaces with the
Dunford-Pettis (Schur)
property can be characterized by the coincidence of Gateaux and
weak Hadamard (Frechet) differentiabilty for dual norms.

Abstract. In this paper, we completely settle several of the open
questions
regarding the relationships between the three most fundamental forms
of set convergence. In particular, it is shown that
Wijsman and slice convergence coincide precisely
when the weak star and norm topologies agree on the dual sphere.
Consequently, a weakly compactly
generated Banach space admits a dense set of norms for which
Wijsman and slice convergence coincide if and only if it is
an Asplund space. We also show that Wijsman convergence implies
Mosco convergence precisely when the weak star and Mackey topologies
coincide on the dual sphere. A corollary of these results is
that given a fixed norm on an Asplund space, Wijsman
and slice convergence coincide if and only if Wijsman convergence
implies Mosco convergence.

Abstract: Let $u:A\to B$ be a bounded linear operator between two
 $C^*$-algebras $A,B$. The following result was proved by the second
 author.

  Theorem 0.1. There is a numerical constant $K_1$ such that
 for
 all finite sequences $x_1,\ldots, x_n$ in $A$ we have
 $$\leqalignno{&\max\left\{\left\|\left(\sum u(x_i)^*
 u(x_i)\right)^{1/2}\right\|_B, \left\|\left(\sum u(x_i)
 u(x_i)^*\right)^{1/2}\right\|_B\right\}&(0.1)_1\cr
 \le &K_1\|u\| \max\left\{\left\|\left(\sum
 x^*_ix_i\right)^{1/2}\right\|_A,
 \left\|\left(\sum x_ix^*_i\right)^{1/2}\right\|_A\right\}.}$$

A simpler proof  was given in [H1].
 More recently an other alternate proof  appeared in [LPP]. In
 this paper we give a sequence of generalizations of this inequality.

Abstract:A remarkable theorem of R. C. James is the following:
suppose that $X$ is a Banach space and $C \subseteq X$
is a norm bounded, closed and convex set such that
every linear functional $x^* \in X^*$ attains its
supremum on $C$; then $C$ is a weakly compact set.
Actually, this result is significantly stronger than this statement;
indeed, the proof can be used to obtain other
surprising results. For example,
suppose that $X$ is a separable
Banach space and $S$  is a norm separable subset
of the unit ball of $X^*$
such that for each $x \in X$ there exists $x^* \in S$
such that $x^*(x) = \|x\|$ then  $X^*$
is itself norm separable .
If we call $S$ a support set, in this case, with respect
to the entire space $X$, one can ask questions about
the size and structure of a support set, a support set
not only with respect to $X$ itself but perhaps with
respect to some other subset of $X$ at . We analyze one particular case
of this as well as give some applications.

$X^*$. The set of all limits of $w^{*}$-convergent sequences
in $\Gamma $ is called the $w^*${\it -derived set} of $\Gamma $
and is denoted by $\Gamma _{(1)}$. For an ordinal $\alpha$
the $w^{*}$-{\it derived  set  of order} $\alpha $ is defined

Abstract:
A Banach space is polyhedral if the unit ball of each of its
finite dimensional subspaces is a polyhedron.  It is known that a
polyhedral Banach space has a separable dual and is $c_0$-saturated,
i.e., each closed infinite dimensional subspace contains an isomorph
of $c_0$.  In this paper, we show that the Orlicz sequence space $h_M$
is isomorphic to a polyhedral Banach space if $\lim_{t\to 0}M(Kt)/M(t)
= \infty$ for some $K < \infty$.
We also construct an Orlicz sequence space $h_M$ which is
$c_0$-saturated, but which is not isomorphic to any polyhedral Banach
space.  This shows that being $c_0$-saturated and having a separable
dual are not sufficient for a Banach space to be isomorphic
to a polyhedral Banach space.

The mailserver will automatically split files into 64K bytes pieces.
Requests for multiple files in one email message will now be handled,
but you should limit your total request in one message to 2M bytes.

There is no automatic subscription facility. Email about subscription,
adding files to the archive, etc. should be sent to
banach-owner at math.okstate.edu. This will usually be an alias for me but
may be directed to someone else if I am gone for an extended period.

As is usual there may be some problems at first. If you discover
something wrong, report it to banach-owner at math.okstate.edu.

Appended to this message is the new version of the help file
instructions.txt. Please read it.

	Instructions for the Banach Space Bulletin Board
			Revised April 2, 1993

	The Banach space bulletin board provides an archive of
preprints of papers in Banach space theory and related fields and a
database of information such as email addresses and abstracts of
papers. Subscribers get email notices of additions to the archive,
meeting announcements and other information. There is no cost to
subscribe. (The National Science Foundation and many universities have
made the internet possible through their support. NSF and Oklahoma
State University have contributed to the purchase of equipment that
houses the bulletin board.) To become a subscriber transmit the
commands

begin

send newsubscriber.txt

end

to banach-files at math.okstate.edu. You will receive a form to complete
and return to the bulletin board operator by email.  The current
administrator is

Dale Alspach, Department of Mathematics, Oklahoma State University,
Stillwater, OK 74078 USA

All email which relates to the Banach space bulletin board requiring
human intervention should go to

banach-owner at math.okstate.edu

All email requests for files on the bulletin board should go to

banach-files at math.okstate.edu

All commands sent to the address banach-files at math.okstate.edu are
handled by software: Do not send messages intended for a human being to
banach-files at math.okstate.edu.  DO NOT SEND REQUESTS FOR FILES to
banach-owner at math.okstate.edu.

The files stored on the bulletin board are almost all either simple
text files or TeX. Files in Plain TeX, AMSTeX, or LaTeX (including
AMSLATeX) have file extensions .tex, .atx, and .ltx , respectively.
The commands for electronic mail usage of the bulletin board are

help            Sends a set of instructions for using the bulletin
		board by email.

send Index      Sends the file known as Index which is an
		annotated list of the files on the bulletin board.

send "filename" Sends the file with file name "filename" as a reply
		unless the path command is also present. Note that the
		directory is not needed.

send "filename.Z" Sends the file in compressed and uuencoded form.

limit n         Split files into messages of length at most n Kbytes.
		The default is 64K and the maximum is 256K.

path "emailaddress"  Instructs the server to send all files and
		messages initiated in this request to "emailaddress"
		instead of replying. Use this if you know replying does
		not work or you want the files to go to a different
		address than the reply address.

reply "emailaddress" Same as path "emailaddress"

resend  "filename" n1, n2, ... nk  Sends the indicated parts of
		a file that was split for transmission purposes.

Commands are not case sensitive but filenames are.  If your mailer
automatically adds things to the beginning or end of a message (like a
greeting or signature) you can insulate the real commands by inserting
BEGIN at the start of the commands list and END after the last
command.
(It is good practice to do this in any case.) Several commands may be
placed in the same message but on separate lines. THE SUBJECT LINE CAN
NOT BE USED. "send" will take multiple filenames, e.g.,

send "filename1 filename2"

	If a requested file is several Kbytes the server will
acknowledge your request but may delay sending the file. Also because
the server is on a unix computer, filenames will be case sensitive.  If
you request a file that is more than 64K, the mail server will split
the file into pieces. You must remove headers and trailing lines and
reassemble the file. Note that you should not "reply" to a message from
banach-files.

Examples

Suppose that you wanted to obtain the three files instructions.txt,
newsubscriber.txt and odellschlumprosen.tex but that your local mail
system will only allow messages of length 20K bytes.

Sending Your Message To All Subscribers or Adding Your Paper to the
Archive


Due to previous problems messages are not automatically forwarded to
all subscribers. If you wish to send a message to all subscribers or
add a paper to the bulletin board you should send a message to
banach-owner at math.okstate.edu. For example

---------------------------------------------
 To:banach-owner at math.okstate.edu
 From:someone at somewhere.edu
 Subject: paper

Please add this paper to the Banach space bulletin board

 %This paper is typed in TeX.
 %Abstract: In this paper we prove that the Riemann Hypothesis is
 % equivalent to the existence of a Banach space with ...

\magnification = 2000
....

-------------------------------------------------

The operator will then TeX and print the paper locally before
announcing the existence of the paper for downloading.
PLEASE INCLUDE AN ABSTRACT so that there is
something to send out to the subscribers. If the abstract is in
TeX, it is best if the abstract does not contain special macros.

If the email contains a message to be sent to all subscribers,
banach-owner will check the message and send it out. Controversial or
improper messages may be discarded at the discretion of banach-owner.

-------------------------------------------------

 Adding Your Paper to the Archive by FTP

To add a paper to the archive you can send it to
banach-owner at math.okstate.edu by email as described above or you can
also use anonymous ftp as explained below.

Anonymous FTP

The files on the bulletin board are also accessible by
anonymous ftp.  To use this you must have the correct software
on your machine and access to internet. The login name for this is
"anonymous" and the password is your address. So a session might go
like this:

  ftp ftp.math.okstate.edu
	login:anonymous
	password:someone at somewhere.edu
	cd pub/banach
	get filename
	bye

It is also possible to upload a file to the bulletin board. To do this
login as above but change directory to the subdirectory of pub/banach
called incoming.  Be sure to check the directory listing to see whether
there is already a file by the same name as you were going to use. If
there is, change the name of your file otherwise the original file will
be overwritten. An upload session might look like this (after login).

	cd pub/banach/incoming
	ls
	put mytheorem.tex
	ls
	bye

banach-owner will periodically check the directory pub/banach/incoming
for new papers, but it is a good idea to send an email notification to
banach-owner at math.okstate.edu.

You should look at your ftp manual to be sure that the commands are as
above:

cd      change directory on the remote machine

ls      directory listing in short form of directory on remote machine

bye     logout and close connection

get     copy (a file) from the remote machine to the local machine

put     copy (a file) from the local machine to the remote machine

pwd     print the current directory name for the remote machine

Remember that the remote machine has a unix (actually SunOS) operating
system so subdirectory names are separated by slashes (/) and names are
case sensitive.

Some TeXnical Remarks

Putting a paper in one of the TeX dialects on the bulletin board can
make it accessible to a large audience almost instantly.  However it is
best not to get too fancy with TeX. TeX is very flexible and powerful,
but a TeX file that uses the specifics of your installation may not be
TeXable by anybody else. The users of this bulletin board are
interested in your mathematics not figuring out how to get your file
TeXed. Also it is better to include any macros that you define as part
of the file rather than using a \input. In the case of a few somewhat
standard sets of macros, e.g., mssymb.tex, a \input is OK. Even this
file is a nuisance because it deals directly with font sets that the
AMS has renamed. Thus depending on the installation, the file may have
to be edited.

Some machines have mailers which do not like lines with more than
80 characters. These mailers often apply some sort of line
breaking filter to the file. Unfortunately the results are
sometimes catastrophic for a TeX file. Please make sure that your
line length is limited to less than 80 characters. banach-owner
checks for this problem on each file that is added to the
archive, but it is a major nuisance to correct this problem
if there are many lines with excessive length.

There are still a few machines which do not translate all
standard ASCII characters correctly. As a diagnostic tool it is
very helpful to have a short section near the beginning of the
paper which contains a list of the non-alphanumeric characters
such as

%32   space        33 ! exclam. pt.   34 " double quote  35 # sharp
%36 $ dollar       37 % percent       38 & ampersand     39 ' prime
%40 ( left paren.  41 ) rt. paren.    42 * asterisk      43 + plus
%44 , comma        45 - minus         46 . period        47 / division
%58 : colon        59 ; semi-colon    60 < less than     61 = equal
%62 > greater than 63 ? question mark 64  at  at
%91 [ left bracket 92 \ backslash     93 ] right bracket 94 ^ caret
% 95 _ underline    96 ` left single quote
%123 { left brace  124 | vertical bar 125 } right brace  126 ~ tilda

AMSTEX and AMSLATeX

The AMS makes its fonts and style files available by anonymous ftp and
insists that AMSTeX or AMSLATeX be used for papers in the AMS
journals.
They no longer use plain TeX and LATeX electronic files. (It was found
that fixing a paper was more costly than producing an AMSTeX file from
the printed manuscript.) There are guidelines for producing files in
"Guidelines for preparing electronic manuscripts" published by the
AMS.
This can be obtained from guide-elec at math.ams.com. (Specify AMSTeX or
AMSLATeX version.) Even if you are not preparing your manuscript for an
AMS publication this publication can point out places where being too
creative can cause trouble.

Obtaining AMS files

Style files can be obtained by email from
ams-tex at math.ams.com or ams-latex at math.ams.com. These files, AMSTeX and
others can also be retrieved by anonymous ftp to e-math.ams.com. (Look
in the ams subdirectory of e-math).


If you have any problems or find errors in the files in the Banach
bulletin board archive report them to banach-owner at math.okstate.edu.

       "Moments in probability and approximation theory"


ABOUT THIS VOLUME

The use of probabilistic methods in other mathematical disciplines
has become a trend in recent years, since they produce simple and
elegant proofs usually leading to optimal results.  This research
monograph in approximation theory and probability theory falls into
this category.  Using methods from geometric moment theory, the
author first solves some very important basic moment problems, and
then develops in parallel the theories of convergence of positive
linear operators to the unit/weak convergence of finite measures to
the Dirac measure, both with rates.  The results produced are
quantitative inequalities and most of them are either sharp or
nearly sharp.  Many examples connecting the material to other
topics are given.

Readership:  Researchers in approximation theory, probability
theory, numerical analysis, statistics, applied analysis, classical
analysis, measure theory, functional analysis, and related fields.

Abstract:   We study the properties of "generic",  in the sense of the
Haar
measure on the corresponding Grassmann manifold,  subspaces of
l^N_infinity
of given dimension.  We prove that every "well bounded" operator on
such a
subspace,  say E,  is a "small" perturbation of a multiple of identity,
where "smallness" is defined intrinsically in terms of the geometry of
E.
In the opposite direction,  we prove that such "generic subspaces of
l^N_infinity" do admit "nontrivial well bounded" projections,  which
shows
the "near optimality" of the first mentioned result,  and proves the so
called "Pisier's dichotomy conjecture" in the "generic" case.

Abstract: Let $E$ be an operator space in the sense of the theory
recently developed by Blecher-Paulsen and Effros-Ruan. We introduce a
notion of $E$-valued non commutative $L_p$-space for $1 \leq p <
\infty$ and we prove that the resulting operator space satisfies the
natural properties to be expected with respect to e.g. duality and
interpolation. This notion leads to the definition of a ``completely
p-summing" map which is the operator space analogue of the
$p$-absolutely summing maps in the sense of Pietsch-Kwapie\'n.  These
notions extend the particular case $p=1$ which was previously studied
by Effros-Ruan.

Abstract: We study certain interpolation and
extension properties of the space of regular operators
between two Banach lattices. Let $R_p$ be the space of all
the regular (or equivalently order bounded) operators on
$L_p$ equipped with the regular norm. We prove the
isometric identity $R_p = (R_\infty,R_1)^\theta$ if
$\theta = 1/p$, which shows that the spaces $(R_p)$ form
an interpolation scale relative to Calder\'on's
interpolation method. We also prove that if $S\subset L_p$
is a subspace, every regular operator $u : S \to L_p$
admits a regular extension $\tilde u : L_p \to L_p$ with
the same regular norm. This extends a result due to
Mireille L\'evy in the case $p = 1$.  Finally, we apply
these ideas to the Hardy space $H^p$ viewed as a subspace
of $L_p$ on the circle. We show that the space of regular
operators from $H^p$ to $L_p$ possesses a similar
interpolation property as the spaces $R_p$ defined above.

$F$ be an arbitrary Banach space, $p>1,$ and  $(X,\sigma)$ be a
space with a finite measure. We prove that $E$ is isometric to a
subspace of the Lebesgue-Bochner space $L_p(X;F)$ only if $E$ is
isometric to a subspace of $F.$ Moreover, every isometry
 $T$ from $E$ into $L_p(X;F)$ has the form
$Te(x)=h(x)U(x)e, e\in E,$  where $h:X\rightarrow R$
is a measurable function and, for every $x\in X,$ $U(x)$ is
an isometry from $E$ to $F.$

in
particular at student level between European countries, with the
emphasis
on integrating students from the former Eastern block.

The Winter School will be from February 14th - 19th, 1994,
in the beautiful resort of Strobl on Wolfgangsee.

It will take the form of series of 5 connected lectures. The following
mathematicians have agreed to give such a mini-course:

Professor N.G. Makarov, California Institute of Technology (Pasadena),
TITLE: Chaos and Complex Analysis

Professor D.H. Phong, Columbia University (New York),
TITLE: Fourier Integral Operators

The conference will be held in the "Bundesinstitut fuer
Erwachsenenbildung",
St. Wolfgang, 5350 Strobl, (Tel.: 06137 3720).
This is a conference centre with full facilities for accommodation
(with meals).

We would be very happy if you could accept this invitation and
request you to let us know your decision as soon as possible.

Abstract:Let $(M,\mu)$ and $(N,\nu)$ be measure spaces. In this paper,
we study the
$K_t$--\,functional for the couple
$$A_0=L^\infty(d\mu\,; L^1(d\nu))\,,~~A_1=L^\infty(d\nu\,;
L^1(d\mu))\,.
$$


Here, and in what follows
the vector valued $L^p$--\,spaces $L^p(d\mu\,; L^q(d\nu))$ are meant
in Bochner's sense.


One of our main results is the following, which can be viewed as a
refinement
of a lemma due to Varopoulos [V].

\proclaim Theorem 0.1. Let $(A_0,A_1)$ be as above. Then for all $f$
in $A_0+A_1$ we have
$${1\over 2}\,K_t(f;\,A_0\,,A_1)\leq
\sup\,\bigg\{ \Big(\mu(E)\vee  t^{-1}\nu(F)\Big)^{-1}
\int_{E\times F} \vert f\vert\,d\mu\,d\nu\,\bigg\}
\leq K_t(f;\,A_0\,,A_1)\,,$$
where the supremum runs over all measurable subsets $E\subset M\,,~
F\subset N$ with positive and finite measure and $u\!\vee\!v$ denotes
the maximum of the reals $u$ and $v$.

Abstract:A Banach space is $c_0$-saturated if all of its closed
infinite
 dimensional subspaces contain an isomorph of $c_0$.  In this
 article,
 we study the stability of this property under the formation of
 direct sums and tensor products.  Some of the results are:
 (1) a slightly more general version of the fact that $c_0$-sums of
 $c_0$-saturated spaces are $c_0$-saturated; (2) $C(K,E)$ is
 $c_0$-saturated if both $C(K)$ and $E$ are; (3) the tensor product
 $JH\tilde{\otimes}_\epsilon JH$ is $c_0$-saturated, where $JH$ is
 the James Hagler space.

    The total duration of the meeting will be two weeks, but it
is possible to register for either week separately.
The conference fee will be 240,- US dollars for each week. The
conference fee includes all local expenses (room and board) and
local transportation. The fee is the same for accompanying
persons.


    The first week of the School will be held at the Faculty of
Mathematics and Physics at Praha-Troja, accommodation and board
will be provided in new students's hostel (on the north outskirts
of Prague) at a distance of about 300 m.


    Here there are blocks of two twin bedded rooms, joined
together by a small kitchen, shower and lavatory. (Of course,
meals will be served in the dining room.) The proposed fee for
the week is based on four people staying in block. Of course,
more luxurious accommodation is available in hotels in the centre
of the city, but prices here are now very high.

    The conference fee includes accommodation in shared twin
rooms. Sole occupancy of a twin room will be available for extra
supplement of US dollars 105.


    Public transport between Troja and the centre of the city is
quite frequent, fast and inexpensive and, moreover, we plan the
participants will get free tickets.


    All participants should register in the hostel Sunday 15th
August from 13.00.
Address:   VSK 17. listopadu
	   Patkova 3
	   182 00 Praha 8 -- Troja
	   Czech Republic


    To reach the hostel from central Prague take a "C" (red)
line metro to Holesovice nadrazi (the northern terminus) and then
bus 112 (direction "ZOO") to the second stop.


    Dinner will be provided in the dining hall, and the
scientific programme will begin on Monday at 9.00.


    On Sunday 22 August some sight-seeing walks in Prague will be
arranged, and at 16.00 we will leave from Troja for Paseky, for
the second week of the School.


    The village of Paseky lies in the slopes of the Krkonose
Mountains, in North Bohemia.

Accommodation consists of rooms for two or three people. There
are excellent facilities and conditions for sporting activities:
hiking trips, soccer, mini-golf and sauna. The bus from Paseky
will arrive in Prague on Saturday 28th August at 11.30 a. m.


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%


The scientific programme will be organized in two distinct parts.

Main speakers for the first week will be:

Abstract:
We present a spectral mapping theorem for continuous semigroups of
operators on any Banach space $E$.  The condition for the
hyperbolicity of a semigroup on $E$ is given in terms of
the generator of an evolutionary semigroup acting in the space of
$E$-valued functions.  The evolutionary semigroup generated by
the propagator of a nonautonomous differential
equation in $E$ is also studied.  A ``discrete'' technique for the
investigating of the evolutionary semigroup is developed and applied to
describe the hyperbolicity (exponential dichotomy) of the nonautonomuos
equation.

there is
a completely bounded projection $P\colon \ N\to M$, is
there automatically a contractive projection $\widetilde P\colon \ N\to
M$?

We give an affirmative answer with the only restriction that $M$ is
assumed

Abstract:In this paper, we study {\it operator spaces\/} in the sense
of the
theory developed recently by Blecher-Paulsen [BP] and Effros-Ruan
[ER1]. By an operator space, we mean a closed subspace $E\subset B(H)$,
with $H$ Hilbert.


We will be mainly concerned here with the ``geometry'' of {\it finite
dimensional\/} operator spaces. In the Banach space category, it is
well known that every separable space embeds isometrically into
$\ell_\infty$. Moreover, if $E$ is a finite dimensional normed space
then
for each $\vp>0$, there is an integer $n$ and a subspace $F\subset
\ell^n_\infty$ which is $(1+\vp)$-isomorphic to $E$, i.e. there is an
isomorphism $u\colon \ E\to F$ such that $\|u\|\ \|u^{-1}\|\le 1+\vp$.
Here
of course, $n$ depends on $\vp$, say $n=n(\vp)$ and usually (for
instance
if $E = \ell^k_2$) we have $n(\vp)\to \infty$ when $\vp\to 0$.

Quite interestingly, it turns out that this fact is not valid in the
category of operator spaces:\ although every operator space embeds
completely isometrically into $B(H)$ (the non-commutative analogue of
$\ell_\infty$) it is not true that a finite dimensional operator space
must
be close to a subspace of $M_n$ (the non-commutative analogue of
$\ell^n_\infty$) for some $n$. The main object of this paper is to
study
this phenomenon.

Abstract:We introduce the notion of a regular mapping on a
non-commutative $L_p$-space associated to a hyperfinite
 von Neumann algebra for $1\le p\le \infty$. This is a non-commutative
generalization of the notion of regular or order bounded map on a
Banach lattice.  This extension is based on our recent paper [P3],
where we introduce and study a non-commutative version of vector valued
$L_p$-spaces. In the extreme cases $p=1$ and $p=\infty$, our regular
operators reduce to the completely bounded ones and the regular norm
coincides with the $cb$-norm. We prove that a mapping is regular iff it
is a linear combination of bounded, completely positive mappings. We
prove an extension theorem for regular mappings defined on a subspace
of a non-commutative $L_p$-space. Finally, let $R_p$ be the space of
all regular mappings on a given non-commutative $L_p$-space  equipped
with the regular norm. We prove the isometric identity
$R_p=(R_\infty,R_1)^\theta$ where $\theta=1/p$ and where
$(\ .\ ,\ .\ )^\theta$ is the dual
 variant of Calder\'on's complex interpolation method.

Abstract:Both papers are concerned with the following result which
allows
one to decouple U-Statistics in tail probability.

Theorem 1.
Let $X_i$\ be a sequence of independent random variables taking
values in a measure space $S$, and let $f_{i_1\dotsi_k}$\ be
measurable functions from $S^k$\ to a Banach space $B$.
Let $(X_i^{(j)})$\ be independent copies of $(X_i)$.
The following inequality holds for all $t \ge 0$ and all
$n\ge 2$,
$$ P(||\sum_{1\le i_1 \ne \dots \ne i_k \le n}
   f_{i_1 \dots i_k}(X_{i_1},\dots,X_{i_k}) || \ge t) \qquad\qquad$$
$$ \qquad\qquad\le
   C_k P(C_k||\sum_{1\le i_1 \ne \dots \ne i_k \le n}
   f_{i_1 \dots i_k}(X_{i_1}^{(1)},\dots,X_{i_k}^{(k)}) || \ge t) .$$
Furthermore, the reverse inequality also holds in the case that
the functions $\{f_{i_1\dots i_k}\}$\ satisfy the symmetry condition
$$ f_{i_1 \dots i_k}(X_{i_1},\dots,X_{i_k}) =
   f_{i_{\pi(1)} \dots i_{\pi(k)}}(X_{i_{\pi(1)}},\dots,X_{i_{\pi(k)}})
   $$
for all permutations $\pi$\ of $\{1,\dots,k\}$.  Note that
the expression $i_1 \ne \dots \ne i_k$\ means that $i_r \ne i_s$\ for
$r\ne s$.  Also, $C_k$\ is a constant that depends only on $k$.

The first paper is an announcement of the result, and includes a proof
in the case that $k=2$.

The second paper gives the full proof of the result.

Abstract:We generalize the Hausdorff-Young inequality to rearrangement
invariant spaces, that is, we consider the inequality $||\hat f||_Y \le
c ||f||_X$ where $X$\ and $Y$\ are rearrangement invariant spaces.  We
show how to construct the largest possible space $Y$ given $X$ and the
smallest possible space $X$ given $Y$ under certain conditions
pertaining to the Boyd indices.

Abstract:We study $M$-ideals of compact operators by means of the
property~$(M)$ introduced in \cite{Kal-M}. Our main result states for a
separable Banach space $X$ that the space of compact operators on $X$
is an $M$-ideal in the space of bounded operators if (and only if) $X$
does not contain a copy of $\ell_{1}$, has the metric compact
approximation property, and has property~$(M)$. The investigation of
special versions of property~$(M)$ leads to results on almost isometric
structure of some classes of Banach spaces. For instance, we give a
simple necessary and sufficient condition for a Banach space to embed
almost isometrically into an $\ell_{p}$-sum of finite-dimensional
spaces resp.\ into $c_{0}$, and for $2<p<\iy$ we prove that a subspace
of $L_{p}$ embeds almost isometrically into $\ell_{p}$ if and only if
it does not contain a subspace isomorphic to $\ell_{2}$.

Abstract:The real part of $H^\infty(\bT)$ is not dense in
$L^\infty_{\tR}(\bT)$. The John-Nirenberg theorem in combination with
the Helson-Szeg\"o theorem and the Hunt Muckenhaupt Wheeden theorem has
been used to determine whether $f\in L^\infty_{\tR}(\bT)$ can be
approximated by $\Re H^\infty(\bT)$ or not:  $\dist(f,\Re H^\infty)=0$
if and only if for every $\e>0$ there exists $\l_0>0$ so that for
$\l>\l_0$ and any interval $I\sbe \bT$.  $$|\{x\in I:|\tilde f-(\tilde
f)_I|>\l\}|\le |I|e^{-\l/ \e},$$ where $\tilde f$ denotes the Hilbert
transform of $f$. See [G] p. 259.  This result is contrasted by the
following

\begin{theor} Let $f\in L^\infty_{\tR}$ and $\e>0$. Then there is a
function $g\in H^\infty(\bT)$ and a set $E\sb \bT$ so that $|\bT\sm
E|<\e$ and $$f=\Re g\quad\mbox{ on } E.$$  \end{theor}

This theorem is best regarded as a corollary to Men'shov's correction
theorem.  For the classical proof of Men'shov's theorem see [Ba, Ch VI
\S 1-\S4].

Simple proofs of Men'shov's theorem -- together with significant
extensions -- have been obtained by S.V. Khruschev in [Kh] and S.V.
Kislyakov in [K1], [K2] and [K3].

In [S] C. Sundberg used $\bar\pa$-techniques (in particular [G,
Theorem  VIII.1.  gave a proof of Theorem 1 that does not mention
Men'shov's theorem.

The purpose of this paper is to use a Marcinkiewicz decomposition on
Holomorphic Martingales to give another proof of Theorem 1. In this way
we avoid uniformly convergent Fourier series  as well as
$\bar\pa$-techniques.

Abstract:Let K be a convex body in $\Bbb R^d$. A random polytope in K
is the convex hull of finitely many points in K that are chosen at
random with respect to a probability measure on K. Here we consider the
normalized Lebesgue measure on K.  For a fixed number n of points we
are interested in the expectation of the volume of that part of K that
is not contained in the convex hull $[x_1,....., x_n]$  of the chosen
points. We denote

$$ \Bbb E(K,n)= \int_{K \times \cdots \times K}
vol_d([x_1,...,x_n])d\Bbb P(x_1,...x_n)   $$

where $\Bbb P$ is the n-fold product of the normalized Lebesgue measure
on K.  We are interested in the asymptotic behavior of

$$ vol_d(K)-\Bbb E(K,n)= \int_{K \times \cdots \times K} vol_d(K
\setminus [x_1,....,x_n]) d\Bbb P(x_1,...,x_n)     $$

R\'enyi and Sulanke determined the asymptotic behavior of this
expression for polygons and smooth convex bodies in $\Bbb R^2$.  \vskip
1cm

\proclaim{\smc Theorem 1} Let K be a convex body in $\Bbb R^d$. Then we
have

$$ c(d)\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac {vol_d(K)-\Bbb
E(K,n)}{(\frac{vol_d(K)}{n})^{\frac{2}{d+1}}} =\int_{\partial K}
\kappa(x)^{\frac{1}{d+1}}d\mu(x)                 $$

where $\kappa (x)$ is the generalized Gau\ss-Kronecker curvature and

$$ c(d)=2(\frac{vol_{d-1}(B_2^{d-1})}{d+1})^{\frac {2}{d+1}}
\frac{(d+3)(d+1)!}
    {(d^2+d+2)(d^2+1)\Gamma(\frac{d^2+1}{d+1})}
    $$

\endproclaim \vskip 1cm


This problem was posed by Schneider and Wieacker . It has been solved
by B\'ar\'any for convex bodies with $C^3$ boundary and everywhere
positive curvature. Our result holds for arbitrary convex bodies.

Abstract:Let $X$ be a separable nonquasireflexive Banach space.
Let $Y$ be a Banach space isomorphic to a subspace of
$X^*$. The paper is devoted to the following questions:
1. Under what conditions does there exist an isomorphic
embedding $T:Y\to X^*$ such that subspace $T(Y)\subset X^*$
is total?
2. If such embeddings exist, what are the possible orders
of $T(Y)$?

Here we need to recall some definitions. For a subset
$M\subset X^*$ we denote the set of all limits of weak$^*$
convergent sequences in $M$ by $M_{(1)}$. Inductively, for
ordinal number $\alpha$ we let
$$M_{(\alpha)}=\cup_{\beta<\alpha}(M_{(\beta)})_{(1)}.$$

The least ordinal $\alpha$ for which $M_{(\alpha)}=
M_{(\alpha+1)}$ is called the {\it order} of $M$.

plans.   You may  be able  to take  advantage of  various discounted
air
fares if you make reservations soon,  so we would encourage you to
take
action   promptly.      The   material   concerning   travel  and
motel
accommodations should be self-explanatory.

We also ask that you send  back your registration form at your
earliest
convenience, so that we can start filling in the schedule of talks.
It
should also  be noted  that there  is an  upper limit  to the  number
of
participants we  can  accommodate  so  we  may be forced to decline
late
registrations.  There will be  another mailing nearer the conference
in
which we give a more detailed schedule.  If you want to give a 20 or
30
minute talk, your abstract should accompany your registration form.
We
ask that, if possible, you have  your abstract prepared in TeX and
that
you send us both a hard copy and an electronic copy.  Please try to
keep
your abstract short and to the point, and, in particular, not more
than
one page (a third to a half a page is much preferred).  For joint
work,
please indicate the  speaker with an  asterisk (*).   We will prepare
a
list  of  abstracts  in  alphabetical  order  by speaker.  These will
be
distributed at registration.  Also, there will be a registration fee
of
$40.   It would  assist the  organizers if  this is  paid in advance;
of
course it  is refundable  in the  event of  non-attendance.   The fee
is
waived for the  main speakers and  graduate students.   Please make
your
check payable  to:   The University  of Missouri,  Dept of
Mathematics.
Other information, about restaurants, use of e-mail, etc., will also
be
provided at registration.

Since  this  mailing  is  being  sent  to  two different lists of
e-mail
addresses, it is possible that  you will receive multiple copies  of
it.
We apologize in advance for this inconvenience.

If you  desire further  information, please  direct your  queries to
the

	       Travelling to and from Columbia, Missouri

We describe  here the  principal means  of access  to and  from
Columbia.
Details about getting around Columbia will be provided later.

CAR

The main highways through Columbia are Interstate 70 (I-70)
(east-west)
and US Highway  63 (north-south).   I-70 runs east-west  and connects
to
Kansas City to the west and St.  Louis to the east.  In particular,
St.
Louis airport  (Lambert field)  is situated  about 18  miles west of
St.
Louis directly  on I-70.   It  is about  110 miles  from the  airport
to
Columbia.  From  Kansas City International  Airport take I-435  to
I-70:
it is about 150 miles.  Columbia airport is 15 miles south of  Columbia
on U.S. 63.

AIR

If flying, you  can choose between  flying to Columbia,  St.  Louis
and
Kansas City.  Columbia airport is served  by TWE from St.  Louis and
by
Lone Star  Airlines from  Dallas/Fort Worth.   It  is about  15-20
miles
south of Columbia.  We hope to run vans to pick people up there at
peak
times.    There  is  also  Midwest  Airport Shuttle (314-874-4048)
which
charges $11 one-way with $1  extra per additional passenger to  the
same
destination.  Taxis are also available (Checker Cab Co. 449-4191).
Some
motels may also offer shuttle service.


>From St.   Louis airport you  may rent a  car; see driving
instructions
above.  Otherwise, there are two choices of public transportation.

Tiger  Air  Express  Limousine  service  to  Columbia  (314-443-3544
or
800-333-3026)  offers   door-to-door  service   at  $40   one-way,
with
departures at approximately one to  two-hour intervals.  Call to  make
a
reservation.  (We can  make arrangements for overseas  participants)
The
final departure from St.  Louis is at 9:30 p.m. daily.

The Greyhound bus operates on the following schedule.  Call Greyhound
to
make sure that this schedule is still valid.

Lambert Field to Columbia

	leave Lambert Field              arrive in Columbia
	     2:40AM                              4:40AM

	     1:50PM                              4:20PM
	     6:40PM                              8:45PM

Columbia to Lambert Field

	  leave Columbia              arrive at Lambert Field
	     2:40AM                              4:45AM
	    10:05AM                             12:20PM
	     4:20PM                              6:35PM

Kansas City Airport is somewhat further from Columbia, (about a 3 hour
drive).  It is also served by Tiger Air Express on a rather less
frequent schedule.  Contact Tiger Air Express for details.

Abstract:This is a 30 page set of lecture notes, in Plain TeX, which
were
prepared for and presented as a series of lectures (10 1/2 hours over
two weeks) at the 2nd Summer School on Banach Spaces, Related Areas and
Applications in Prague and Paseky, Czech Republic, during August,
1993.  They consist of a largely self-contained exposition of both
classical and recent basic facts about maximal monotone operators on
Banach spaces, motivated in part by the goal of highlighting several
fundamental properties of such operators which remain open questions in
nonreflexive Banach spaces.

Abstract:We present a formula for the Fourier transforms
of order statistics in $\Bbb R^n$ showing that all these Fourier
 transforms are equal up to a constant multiple outside the coordinate
 planes in
 $\Bbb R^n.$

For $a_1\geq ... \geq a_n\ge0$ and $q>0,$  denote by $\ell_{w,q}^n$ the
$n$-dimensional Lorentz space with the norm
$\|(x_1,...,x_n)\| =  (a_1 (x_1^{*})^q +...+ a_n (x_n^{*})^q)^{1/q}$,
where $(x_1^{*},...,x_n^{*})$ is the
non-increasing permutation of the numbers
$|x_1|,...,|x_n|.$
We use the above mentioned formula and the Fourier transform criterion
of isometric embeddability of Banach
spaces into $L_q$ \cite{10} to prove that, for $n\geq 3$ and $q\leq 1,$
the space  $\ell_{w,q}^n$
is isometric to a subspace of $L_q$ if and only if the numbers
$a_1,...,a_n$ form an arithmetic progression. For $q>1,$ all the
numbers
$a_i$ must be equal so that  $\ell_{w,q}^n = \ell_q^n.$
Consequently, the Lorentz function
space $L_{w,q}(0,1)$ is isometric to a subspace of $L_q$  if and only
if  {\it either} $0<q<\infty$ and the
weight $w$ is a constant function  (so that $L_{w,q}= L_q$),
{\it or}  $q\le 1$ and $w(t)$ is a decreasing linear function.

Finally, we relate our results to the
theory of positive definite functions.

Abstract:Let $E,F$ be exact operators (For example subspaces of the
$C^*$-algebra $K(H)$ of all the compact operators on an infinite
dimensional Hilbert space $H$). We study a class of bounded linear maps
$u\colon E\to F^*$ which we call tracially bounded. In particular, we
prove that every completely bounded (in short $c.b.$) map $u\colon E\to
F^*$ factors boundedly through a Hilbert space. This is used to show
that the set $OS_n$ of all $n$-dimensional operator spaces equipped
with the $c.b.$ version of the Banach Mazur distance is not separable
if $n>2$.

 As an application we show that there is more than one $C^*$-norm on
$B(H)\otimes B(H)$, or equivalently that
$$B(H)\otimes_{\min}B(H)\not=B(H)\otimes_{\max}B(H),$$ which answers a
long standing open question.

 Finally we show that every ``maximal" operator space (in the sense of
 Paulsen) is not exact in the infinite dimensional case, and in the
finite dimensional case, we give a lower bound for the ``exactness
constant".

Dear colleague,

We have the pleasure to inform you that the 22-nd Winter
School will take place from January 29th to February 5th at
the hotel ``Libu\v se'' in Pod\v ebrady, Czech Republic.

The meeting traditionally provides a good
working and friendly atmosphere. As usual, the main topics
of this session will be functional analysis, measure theory and
geometry of Banach spaces. A series of lectures is promised
by S. Gulko (Tomsk), J. E. Jayne (London) and also with high
probability by E. Behrends (Berlin) and S. Troyanski
(Sofia).

Pod\v ebrady is a famous spa about 50 km from
Prague. We
negotiated with the spa management the possibility of using
their spa facilities for low prices.
Unfortunately, there are no skiing possibilities in Pod\v
ebrady. There is a possibility to use the local skating
ring (your own skates).

Abstract:The class of countably intersected
families of sets is defined. For any such family we define
a Banach space not containing $\ell^{1}(\NN )$. Thus we
obtain counterexamples to certain questions related to
the heredity problem for W.C.G. Banach spaces. Among them we
give a subspace of a W.C.G. Banach space not containing
$\ell^{1}(\NN )$ and not being itself a W.C.G. space.

Abstract: Let $ n\geq 2, A=(a_{ij})_{i,j=1}^{n}$ be a real symmetric
matrix, $a=(a_i)_{i=1}^{n}\in \Bbb R^n.$ Consider the differential
operator $D_A = \sum_{i,j=1}^n a_{ij}{\partial^2 \over \partial x_i
\partial x_j}+ \sum_{i=1}^n a_i{\partial \over \partial x_i}.$ Let $E$
be a bounded domain in $\Bbb R^n,$ $p>0.$ Denote by $L_{D_A}^p(E)$ the
space of solutions of the equation $D_A f=0$ in the domain $E$ provided
with the $L_p$-norm.

We prove that, for matrices $A,B,$ vectors $a,b,$ bounded domains
$E,F,$ and every $p>0$ which is not an even integer,  the space
$L_{D_A}^p(E)$ is isometric to a subspace of $L_{D_B}^p(F)$ if and only
if the matrices  $A$ and $B$ have equal signatures, and the domains $E$
and $F$ coincide up to a natural mapping which in the most cases is
affine.

We use the extension method for $L_p$-isometries which reduces the
problem to the question of which weighted composition operators carry
solutions of the equation $D_A f=0$ in $E$ to solutions of the equation
$D_B f=0$ in $F.$

Abstract:It is well known in Banach space theory that for a finite
dimensional space $E$ there exists a constant $c_E$, such that for all
sequences $(x_k)_k \subset E$ one has
\[ \summ_k \noo x_k \rrm \kl c_E \pl \sup_{\eps_k \pm 1} \noo \summ_k
\eps_k x_k \rrm \pl .\]
Moreover, if $E$ is of dimension $n$ the constant $c_E$ ranges between
$\sqrt{n}$ and $n$. This implies that absolute convergence and
unconditional
convergence only coincide in finite dimensional spaces. We will
characterize Banach spaces $X$, where the constant $c_E \sim \sqrt{n}$
for all finite dimensional subspaces.
More generally, we prove that an estimate $c_E \kll c
n^{1-\frac{1}{q}}$holds for all $n \in \nz$ and all $n$-dimensional
subspaces $E$ of $X$ if and only
if the eigenvalues of every operator factoring through
$\ell_{\infty}$ decrease of order $k^{-\frac{1}{q}}$ if and only if
$X$ is of weak cotype $q$, introduced by Pisier and Mascioni.
We emphasize that in contrast to Talagrand's equivalence
theorem on cotype $q$ and absolutely $(q,1)$-summing spaces this
extendsto the case $q=2$. If $q>2$  and one of the conditions above is
satisfied
one has
\[ \kla \summ_k \noo x_k \rrm^q \mer^{\frac{1}{q}} \kl C^{1+l}\pl
(1+{\rm log}_2)^{(l)}((1 +{\rm log}_2 n)^{\frac{1}{q}}) \pl \ez \noo
\summ_k \eps_k x_k \rrm \]
for all $n,l \in \nz$ and $(x_k)_k \subset E$, $E$ a $n$ dimensional
subspace of $X$.
In the case $q=2$ the same holds if we replace the expected value by
the supremum.

Abstract:We give a positive solution for the hyperplane conjecture
of quotient spaces F of $L_p$, where $1<p\kll\infty$.
\[ vol(B_F)^{\frac{n-1}{n}} \kl c_0 \pl p' \pl \sup_{H \p hyperplane}
vol(B_F\cap H)  \pl.\]
This result is extended to Banach lattices which does not contain
$\ell_1^n$'s
uniformly. Our main tools are tensor products and minimal volume ratio
with respect to $L_p$-sections.

This is the abstract of the paper "Proportional subspaces
of spaces with unconditional basis have good
volume properties " by Marius Junge.

Abstract:
A generalization of Lozanovskii's result is proved. Let E be
$k$-dimensional
subspace of an $n$-dimensional Banach space with unconditional basis.
Then there exist $x_1,..,x_k \subset E$ such that $B_E \p \subset \p
absconv\{x_1,..,x_k\}$
and
\[
\kla \frac{{\rm vol}(absconv\{x_1,..,x_k\})}{{\rm vol}(B_E)}
\mer^{\frac{1}{k}} \kl \kla
e\p \frac{n}{k} \mer^2 \pl .\]
This answers a question of V. Milman which appeared during a GAFA
seminar talk about the hyperplane
problem. We add logarithmical estimates concerning the hyperplane
conjecture
for proportional subspaces and quotients
of  Banach spaces with unconditional basis.
