Subject: Abstract of a paper by A.B. Aleksandrov and V.V. Peller
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "Distorted Hankel integral
operators" by A.B. Aleksandrov and V.V. Peller.


Abstract: For $\a,\b>0$ and for a locally integrable function (or,
more generally, a distribution) $\f$ on $(0,\be)$, we study integral
ooperators ${\frak G}^{\a,\b}_\f$ on $L^2(\R_+)$ defined by $\big({\frak
G}^{\a,\b}_\f f\big)(x)=\int_{\R_+}\f\big(x^\a+y^\b\big)f(y)dy$. We
describe the bounded and compact operators ${\frak G}^{\a,\b}_\f$
and operators ${\frak G}^{\a,\b}_\f$ of Schatten--von Neumann class
$\bS_p$. We also study continuity properties of the averaging
projection $\Q_{\a,\b}$ onto the operators of the form ${\frak
G}^{\a,\b}_\f$. In particular, we show that if $\a\le\b$ and $\b>1$,
then ${\frak G}^{\a,\b}_\f$ is bounded on $\bS_p$ if and only if
$2\b(\b+1)^{-1}<p<2\b(\b-1)^{-1}$.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Vladimir Kadets and Dirk Werner
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "A Banach space with the Schur
and the Daugavet property" by Vladimir Kadets and Dirk Werner.


Abstract: We show that a minor refinement of the Bourgain-Rosenthal
construction of a Banach space without the Radon-Nikodym property which
contains no bounded $\delta$-trees yields a space with the Daugavet
property and the Schur property. Using this example we answer some open
questions on the structure of such spaces; in particular we show that
the Daugavet property is not inherited by ultraproducts.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Gideon Schechtman
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "Special orthogonal splittings of
$L_1^{2k}" by Gideon Schechtman.


Abstract: We show that for each positive integer $k$ there is a
$k\times k$ matrix $B$ with $\pm 1$ entries such that letting $K_1$ be
the symmetric convex hull of the rows of $B$ and $K_2$ the symmetric
convex hull of $\sqrt{k}$ times the canonical unit vector basis of
$\R^k$ ($=\sqrt{k}B_1^k$), then $K_1\cap K_2$ lies between two universal
multiples of the Euclidean unit ball, $B_2^k$.  Moreover, the probability
that a random $\pm 1$ matrix satisfies the above is exponentially close
to $1$. \hfill\break It follows that, putting $E$ to be the span of
the rows of the $k\times 2k$ matrix $[\sqrt{k}I_k,B]$, then, with high
probability over $k\times k$ matrices $B$ with independent $\pm 1$
entries, $E,E^{\bot}$ is a Kashin splitting: The $L_1^{2k}$ and the
$L_2^{2k}$ are universally equivalent on both $E$ and $E^{\bot}$.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Beata Randrianantoanina
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "On the structure of level sets
of uniform and Lipschitz quotient   mappings from ${\mathbb{R}}^n$
to ${\mathbb{R}}$" by Beata Randrianantoanina.


Abstract: We study two questions posed by Johnson, Lindenstrauss, Preiss,
and Schechtman, concerning the structure of level sets of uniform and
Lipschitz quotient maps from $R^n\to R$. We show that if $f:R^n\to R$,
$n\geq 2$, is a uniform quotient map then for every $t\in R$, $f^{-1}(t)$
has a bounded number of components, each component of $f^{-1}(t)$
separates $R^n$ and the upper bound of the number of components depends
only on $n$ and the moduli of co-uniform and uniform continuity of
$f$. Next we obtain a characterization of the form of any closed,
hereditarily locally connected, locally compact, connected set with no
end points and containing no simple closed curve, and we apply it to
describe the structure of level sets of co-Lipschitz uniformly continuous
mappings $f:R^2\to R$. We prove that all level sets of any co-Lipschitz
uniformly continuous map from $R^2$ to $R$ are locally connected, and we
show that for every pair of a constant $c>0$ and a function $\Omega$ with
$\lim_{r\to 0}\Omega(r)=0$, there exists a natural number $M=M(c,\Omega)$,
so that for every co-Lipschitz uniformly continuous map $f:R^2\to R$ with
a co-Lipschitz constant $c$ and a modulus of uniform continuity $\Omega$,
there exists a natural number $n(f)\le M$ and a finite set $T_f\subset
R$ with $\card(T_f)\leq n(f)-1$ so that for all $t\in R\setminus T_f$,
$f^{-1}(t)$ has exactly $n(f)$ components, $R^2\setminus f^{-1}(t)$
has exactly $n(f)+1$ components and each component of $f^{-1}(t)$ is
homeomorphic with the real line and separates the plane into exactly 2
components. The number and form of components of $f^{-1}(s)$ for $s\in
T_f$ are also described - they have a finite graph structure. We give an
example of a uniform quotient map from $R^2\to R$ which has non-locally
connected level sets.

Dear Colleagues:
   It is with great sadness that I regret to
inform you that my lifelong friend and closest
collaborator Yuri Abramovich passed away 
last night after a long battle with cancer.
            With my best regards,
               Roko Aliprantis



**********************************************************************


It is with the deepest sorrow that I inform you of the untimely passing of
our dear colleague and friend Yuri Abramovich.  Last night, on February
5, at 9:45 PM in the IU Hospital, surrounded by his family, doctors
and friends, Yuri succumbed to Multiple Myeloma, a terrible disease
that he has been battling with for the past four years. Our heart-felt
condolences to his wife, Alla, and his two daughters, Julia and Jane.


The memorial service for Yuri will be held at the Indianapolis Hebrew
Congregation (IHC), located a t 6501 N. Meridian St., Indianapolis, IN,
on Sunday February 9, 2003 at 2:30 p.m. Memorial Arrangements are being
handled by Aaron-Ruben-Nelson Mortuary.

In memory of Yuri, the Department has established the Yuri Abramovich
Memorial Scholarship. Memorial contributions to this scholarship fund may
be made to the IUPUI Department of Mathematical Sciences.

Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "\ell ^1-spreading models in mixed
Tsirelson space" by Denny H. Leung and Wee-Kee Tang.


Abstract: Suppose that (F_n)_{n=1}^{\infty } is a sequence of regular
families of finite subsets of N and (\theta _n)_{n=1}^{\infty } is a
nonincreasing null sequence in (0,1). The mixed Tsirelson space T[(\theta
_{n}, F_n)_{n=1}^{\infty }] is the completion of $c_{00}$ with respect
to the implicitly defined norm ||x|| = max{||x||_{c_0}, sup_n sup \theta
_n \sum_{i=1}^{j}||E_{i}x||}, where the last supremum is taken over
all finite subsets E_{1},...,E_{j} of N such that E_1 < ... <E_j and
{min E_1,...,min E_j} \in F_n. Necessary and sufficient conditions are
obtained for the existence of higher order \ell ^1-spreading models in
every subspace generated by a subsequence of the unit vector basis of
T[(\theta _{n}, F_n)_{n=1}^{\infty }.

Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "Ergodic Banach spaces" by Valentin
Ferenczi and Christian Rosendal.


Abstract: We show that any Banach space contains a continuum of non
isomorphic subspaces or a minimal subspace. We define an ergodic Banach
space $X$ as a space such that $E_0$ Borel reduces to isomorphism on
the set of subspaces of $X$, and show that every Banach space is either
ergodic or contains a subspace with an unconditional basis $ which is
complementably universal for the family of its block-subspaces. We also
use our methods to get uniformity results; for example, in combination
with a result of B. Maurey, V. Milman and N.  Tomczak-Jaegermann,
we show that an unconditional basis of a Banach space, of which every
block-subspace is complemented, must be asymptotically $c_0$ or $l_p$.

This is an announcement for the paper "The Complex Stone-Weierstrass
Property" by Kenneth Kunen.


Abstract: C(X) denotes the space of continuous complex-valued functions
on the compact Hausdorff space X. X has the CSWP if every subalgebra of
C(X) which separates points and contains the constant functions is dense
in C(X). W. Rudin showed that all scattered X have the CSWP. We describe
a class of non-scattered X with the CSWP; by another result of Rudin,
such X cannot be metrizable.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by G. Androulakis, E. Odell, Th. Schlumprecht, and N. Tomczak-Jaegermann
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "On the structure of the spreading
models of a Banach space" by G. Androulakis, E. Odell, Th. Schlumprecht,
and N. Tomczak-Jaegermann.


Abstract: We study some questions concerning the structure of the set
of spreading models of a separable infinite-dimensional Banach space
$X$. In particular we give an example of a reflexive $X$ so that all
spreading models of $X$ contain $\ell_1$ but none of them is isomorphic
to $\ell_1$. We also prove that for any countable set $C$ of spreading
models generated by weakly null sequences there is a spreading model
generated by a weakly null sequence which dominates each element of
$C$. In certain cases this ensures that $X$ admits, for each $\alpha <
\omega_1$, a spreading model $(\tilde x_i^\alpha)_i$ such that if $\alpha
< \beta$ then $(\tilde x_i^\alpha)_i$ is dominated by (and not equivalent
to) $(\tilde x_i^\beta)_i$. Some applications of these ideas are used
to give sufficient conditions on a Banach space for the existence of a
subspace and an operator defined on the subspace, which is not a compact
perturbation of a multiple of the inclusion map.

Volume 1

Description
The Handbook presents an overview of most aspects of modern Banach space
theory and its applications. The up-to-date surveys, authored by leading
research workers in the area, are written to be accessible to a wide
audience. In addition to presenting the state of the art of Banach space
theory, the surveys discuss the relation of the subject with such areas as
harmonic analysis, complex analysis, classical convexity, probability
theory, operator theory, combinatorics, logic, geometric measure theory, and
partial differential equations. 

The Handbook begins with a chapter on basic concepts in Banach space theory
which contains all the background needed for reading any other chapter in
the Handbook. Each of the twenty one articles in this volume after the basic
concepts chapter is devoted to one specific direction of Banach space theory
or its applications. Each article contains a motivated introduction as well
as an exposition of the main results, methods, and open problems in its
specific direction. Most have an extensive bibliography. Many articles
contain new proofs of known results as well as expositions of proofs which
are hard to locate in the literature or are only outlined in the original
research papers. 

As well as being valuable to experienced researchers in Banach space theory,
the Handbook should be an outstanding source for inspiration and information
to graduate students and beginning researchers. The Handbook will be useful
for mathematicians who want to get an idea of the various developments in
Banach space theory.

This is an announcement for the paper "State spaces of JB*-triples"
by Matthew Neal and Bernard Russo.


Abstract: An atomic decomposition is proved for Banach spaces which
satisfy some affine geometric axioms compatible with notions from the
quantum mechanical measuring process. This is then applied to yield, under
appropriate assumptions, geometric characterizations, up to isometry,
of the unit ball of the dual space of a JB*-triple, and up to complete
isometry, of one-sided ideals in C*-algebras.

Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "Embedding of the operator space OH
and the logarithmic `little   Grothendieck inequality'" by Marius Junge.


Abstract: Using free random varaibles we find an embedding of the operator
space $OH$ in the predual of a von Neumann algebra. The properties
of this embedding allow us to determined the projection constant of
$OH_n$, i.e. there exists a projection $P:B(\ell_2)\to OH_n$ whose
completely bounded norm behaves as n^{1/2}/(1+ln n)^{1/2}. According to
recent results of Pisier/Shlyahtenko, the lower bound holds for every
projection. Improving a previous estimate of order $(1+ ln n)$ of the
author, Pisier/Shlyahtenko obtained a `logarithmic little Grothendieck
inequality'. We find a second proof of this inequality which explains
why the factor $\sqrt{1+\ln n}$ is indeed necessary. In particular the
operator space version of the `little Grothendieck inequality' fails
to hold.  This `logarithmic little Grothendieck' inequality characterizes
$C^*$-algebras with the weak expectation property of Lance.

This is an announcement for the paper "\ell^1-spreading models in
subspaces of mixed Tsirelson spaces" by Denny H. Leung and Wee-Kee Tang.


Abstract: We investigate the existence of higher order \ell^1-spreading
models in subspaces of mixed Tsirelson spaces. For instance, we show
that the following conditions are equivalent for the mixed Tsirelson
space X=T[(\theta _n,S_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}]
  (1)Every block subspace of $X$ contains an \ell^1-S_{\omega}-spreading
  model, (2)The Bourgain \ell^1-index I_b(Y) = I(Y) > \omega^{\omega}
  for any block
subspace Y of X,
  (3)\lim_m\limsup_n\theta_{m+n}/\theta_n > 0 and every block subspace
  Y of X
contains a block sequence equivalent to a subsequence of the unit vector
basis of X.
  Moreover, if one (and hence all) of these conditions holds, then X is
arbitrarily distortable.

This is an announcement for the paper "Remarks on the geometry of
coordinate projections in R^n" by S. Mendelson and R. Vershynin.


Abstract: We study geometric properties of coordinate projections. Among
other results, we show that if a body K in R^n has an ``almost extremal"
volume ratio, then it has a projection of proportional dimension which
is close to the cube. We compare type 2 and infratype 2 constant of a
Banach space. This follows from a comparison lemma for Rademacher and
Gaussian averages. We also establish a sharp estimate on the shattering
dimension of the convex hull of a class of functions in terms of the
shattering dimension of the class itself.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Yves Raynaud and Quanhua Xu
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "On subspaces of non-commutative
L_p-spaces" by Yves Raynaud and Quanhua Xu.


Abstract: We study some structural aspects of the subspaces of the
non-commutative (Haagerup) L_p-spaces associated with a general (non
necessarily semi-finite) von Neumann algebra A. If a subspace X of
L_p(A) contains uniformly the spaces \ell_p^n, n>= 1, it contains an
almost isometric, almost 1-complemented copy of \ell_p. If X contains
uniformly the finite dimensional Schatten classes S_p^n, it contains
their \ell_p-direct sum too. We obtain a version of the classical
Kadec-Pel czynski dichotomy theorem for L_p-spaces, p>= 2. We also
give operator space versions of these results. The proofs are based on
previous structural results on the ultrapowers of L_p(A), together with
a careful analysis of the elements of an ultrapower [L_p(A)]_U which are
disjoint from the subspace L_p(A). These techniques permit to recover
a recent result of N.  Randrianantoanina concerning a Subsequence
Splitting Lemma for the general non-commutative L_p spaces. Various
notions of p-equiintegrability are studied (one of which is equivalent
to Randrianantoanina's one) and some results obtained by Haagerup,
Rosenthal and Sukochev for L_p -spaces based on finite von Neumann
algebras concerning subspaces of L_p(A) containing \ell_p are extended
to the general case.

M. Pellegrino.


Abstract: We introduce a general definition of almost $p$-summing mappings
and give several concrete examples of such mappings. Some known results
are considerably generalized and we present various situations in which
the space of almost $p$-summing multilinear mappings coincides with the
whole space of continuous multilinear mappings.

This is an announcement for the paper "Cotype and nonlinear absolutely
summing mappings" by Daniel M. Pellegrino.


Abstract: In this paper we study absolutely summing mappings on Banach
spaces by exploring the cotype of their domains and ranges. It is proved
that every $n$% - -linear mapping from $\mathcal{L}_{\infty}$-spaces
into $\mathbb{K}$ is $% (2;2,...,2,\infty)$-summing and also shown that
every $n$-linear mapping from $\mathcal{L}_{\infty}$-spaces into $F$
is $(q;2,...,2)$-summing whenever $F$ has cotype $q.$ We also give new
examples of analytic summing mappings and polynomial and multilinear
versions of a linear Extrapolation Theorem.

This is an announcement for the paper "Completeness in $L^1(R)$ of
discrete translates" by Joaquim Bruna, Alexander Olevskii and Alexander
Ulanovskii.


Abstract: We characterize, in terms of the Beurling-Malliavin density,
the discrete spectra $\Lambda\subset\R$ for which a generator exists, that
is a function $\varphi\in L^1(\R)$ such that its $\Lambda$-translates
$\varphi(x-\lambda), \lambda\in\Lambda$, span $L^1(\R)$. It is shown
that these spectra coincide with the uniqueness sets for certain analytic
classes. We also present examples of discrete spectra $\Lambda\subset\R$
which do not admit a single generator while they admit a pair of
generators.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the non-equivalence of
rearranged Walsh and trigonometric systems in   L_p" by J\"org Wenzel
and Aicke Hinrichs.


Abstract: We consider the question whether the trigonometric system can
be equivalent to some rearrangement of the Walsh system in L_p for some
p<>2. We show that this question is closely related to a combinatorial
problem. This enables us to prove non-equivalence for a number of
rearrangements. Previously this was known for the Walsh-Paley order only.

geometry spaces into reflexive Banach   space" by Nathanial Brown and

Abstract: We show that every metric space with bounded geometry
uniformly embeds into an explicit reflexive Banach space (a direct sum
of l^p spaces). In the case of discrete groups we show the analogue
of a-T-menability. That is, we construct a metrically proper affine
isometric action on this Banach space.

Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "Weakly compact approximation in
Banach spaces" by Edward Odell and Hans-Olav Tylli.


Abstract: The Banach space $E$ has the weakly compact approximation
property (W.A.P.  for short) if there is a constant $C < \infty$ so that
for any weakly compact set $D \subset E$ and $\varepsilon > 0$ there
is a weakly compact operator $V: E \to E$ satisfying $\sup_{x\in D} ||
x - Vx || < \varepsilon$ and $|| V|| \leq C$. We give several examples
of Banach spaces both with and without this approximation property. Our
main results demonstrate that the James-type spaces from a general class
of quasi-reflexive spaces (which contains the classical James' space
$J$) have the W.A.P, but that James' tree space $JT$ fails to have the
W.A.P. It is also shown that the dual $J^*$ has the W.A.P. It follows
that the Banach algebras $W(J)$ and $W(J^*)$, consisting of the weakly
compact operators, have bounded left approximate identities. Among the
other results we obtain a concrete Banach space $Y$ so that $Y$ fails
to have the W.A.P., but $Y$ has this approximation property without the
uniform bound $C$.

class of a Banach space" by W. B. Johnson and E. Odell.


Abstract: We prove that if X is a separable infinite dimensional Banach
space then its isomorphism class has infinite diameter with respect
to the Banach-Mazur distance. One step in the proof is to show that if
X is elastic then X contains an isomorph of c_0. We call X elastic if
for some K < infinity for every Banach space Y which embeds into X, the
space Y is K-isomorphic to a subspace of X. We also prove that if X is
a separable Banach space such that for some K < infinity every isomorph
of X is K-elastic then X is finite dimensional.

                          First Announcement


     Dear Colleague,

  Following a longstanding tradition, the Faculty of Mathematics and
Physics of Charles University in Prague will organize Spring 
Conference on
             NONSEPARABLE BANACH SPACES.

The Conference will be held at Paseky nad Jizerou, in a chalet
in the Krkonose Mountains, April 18 - 24, 2004. 
The purpose of this meeting is to bring together researchers with common
interest in the field. There will be opportunities for informal discussions.
Graduate students and others beginning their mathematical career are encouraged
to participate. 

The topic of the conference is the theory of nonseparable Banach spaces. It is a
rich area, closely related with topology, nonlinear analysis, combinatorics and
set theory, which offers many open problems. Therefore we hope that the
conference will attract the attention of young researchers and students as well
as specialists in the above mentioned fields.  

The organization of this meeting is not exactly in the spirit of previous Spring
Schools - instead of the series of lectures given by few leading experts in the
field, we intend to organize a usual conference type meeting. This will also
give young participants a chance to present their work.

More details and the registration form can be found at the URL address

http://www.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/katedry/kma/ss/apr04/ss.html

  The conference fee will be EUR 360. A reduced rate of EUR 310 
will be offered provided that an application form reaches the 
organizers before January 15, 2004. 
The conference fee includes all local expenses (room and board) and
transportation between Prague and Paseky. The fee for accompanying persons is
the same.

  The organizers may provide financial support to a limited number
of students. Applications must be sent before January 15, 2004.

  The village of Paseky lies in the slopes of the Krkonose Mountains
in North Bohemia. Accommodation consists of rooms for two or three
people. A single room can be arranged on demand if the capacity of the chalet
allows. In such case additional EUR 100 will be charged. 
  There are excellent facilities and conditions for sporting activities:
hiking trips, soccer, mini-golf and sauna.

  A special bus from Prague to Paseky will leave at 4 p.m. on Sunday, April
18, 2004. The bus from Paseky will arrive in Prague on Saturday, April 24, 2004
at about 12 a.m.

Due to the limited capacity of accommodation facilities the organizers may be
forced to decline some later registrations. 

       Kindly inform your colleagues and students interested in this field.
       We are looking forward to meeting you in the Czech Republic.

Abstract: We introduce a class of operators on $L_1$ that is stable under

all compact operators and does not contain isomorphic embeddings. It
follows that any operator from $L_1$ into a space with an unconditional

Abstract: We study the existence of pointwise Kadec renormings for Banach
spaces of the form $C(K)$. We show in particular that such a renorming
exists when $K$ is any product of compact linearly ordered spaces,
extending the result for a single factor due to Haydon, Jayne, Namioka
and Rogers. We show that if $C(K_1)$ has a pointwise Kadec renorming and
$K_2$ belongs to the class of spaces obtained by closing the class of
compact metrizable spaces under inverse limits of transfinite continuous
sequences of retractions, then $C(K_1\times K_2)$ has a pointwise Kadec
renorming. We also prove a version of the three-space property for
such renormings.

This is an announcement for the paper "Rate of convergence of geometric
symmetrizations" by B. Klartag.


Abstract: It is a classical fact, that given an arbitrary n-dimensional
convex body, there exists an appropriate sequence of Minkowski
symmetrizations (or Steiner symmetrizations), that converges in
Hausdorff metric to a Euclidean ball. Here we provide quantitative
estimates regarding this convergence, for both Minkowski and Steiner
symmetrizations. Our estimates are polynomial in the dimension and in
the logarithm of the desired distance to a Euclidean ball, improving
previously known exponential estimates. Inspired by a method of Diaconis,
our technique involves spherical harmonics. We also make use of an earlier
result by the author regarding ``isomorphic Minkowski symmetrization''.

This is an announcement for the paper "On John-type ellipsoids" by
B. Klartag.


Abstract: Given an arbitrary convex symmetric n-dimensional body, we
construct a natural and non-trivial continuous map which associates
ellipsoids to ellipsoids, such that the Lowner-John ellipsoid of the
body is its unique fixed point. A new characterization of the Lowner-John
ellipsoid is obtained, and we also gain information regarding the contact
points of inscribed ellipsoids with the body.

Abstract: We give biorthogonal system characterizations of Banach spaces

$c_0$, or fail the hereditary Dunford-Pettis property. We combine this
with previous results to show that each infinite dimensional Banach

This is an announcement for the paper "Very smooth points of spaces of
operators" by T s s R K Rao.


Abstract: In this paper we study very smooth points of Banach spaces with
special emphasis on spaces of operators. We show that when the space of
compact operators is an $M$-ideal in the space of bounded operators,
a very smooth operator $T$ attains its norm at a unique vector $x$
(up to a constant multiple) and $T(x)$ is a very smooth point of the
range space. We show that if for every equivalent norm on a Banach
space, the dual unit ball has a very smooth point then the space has
the Radon--Nikod\'{y}m property. We give an example of a smooth Banach
space without any very smooth points.

This is an announcement for the paper "Weak cluster points of a sequence
and coverings by cylinders" by Vladimir Kadets.


Abstract: Let $H$ be a Hilbert space. Using Ball's solution of the
"complex plank problem" we prove that the following properties of
a sequence $a_n>0$ are equivalent: \begin{enumerate} \item There is
a sequence $x_n \in H$ with $\|x_n\|=a_n$, having 0 as a weak cluster
point; \item $\sum_1^\infty a_n^{-2}=\infty$. \end{enumerate} Using this
result we show that a natural idea of generalization of Ball's "complex
plank" result to cylinders with $k$-dimensional base fails already for
$k=3$. We discuss also generalizations of "weak cluster points" result
to other Banach spaces and relations with cotype.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Javier Parcet
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "B-convex operator spaces" by
Javier Parcet.


Abstract: The notion of B-convexity for operator spaces, which a priori
depends on a set of parameters indexed by $\Sigma$, is defined. Some
of the classical characterizations of this geometric notion for Banach
spaces are studied in this new context. For instance, an operator space
is $B_{\Sigma}$-convex if and only if it has $\Sigma$-subtype. The class
of uniformly non-$L^1(\Sigma)$ operator spaces, which is also the class of
$B_{\Sigma}$-convex operator spaces, is introduced. Moreover, an operator
space having non-trivial $\Sigma$-type is $B_{\Sigma}$-convex. However,
the converse is false. The row and column operator spaces are nice
counterexamples of this fact, since both are Hilbertian. In particular,
this result shows that a version of the Maurey-Pisier theorem does not
hold in our context. Some other examples of Hilbertian operator spaces
will be treated. In the last part of this paper, the independence of
$B_{\Sigma}$-convexity with respect to $\Sigma$ is studied.  This provides
some interesting problems which will be posed.

This is an announcement for the paper "Quantized orthonormal systems: A
non-commutative Kwapien theorem" by Jose Garcia-Cuerva and Javier Parcet.


Abstract: The concepts of Riesz type and cotype of a given Banach space
are extended to a non-commutative setting. First, the Banach space is
replaced by an operator space. The notion of quantized orthonormal system,
which plays the role of the orthonormal system in the classical setting,
is then defined. The Fourier type and cotype of an operator space with
respect to a non-commutative compact group fit in this context. Also,
the quantized analogs of Rademacher and Gaussian systems are treated. All
this is used to obtain an operator space version of the classical theorem
of Kwapie\'n characterizing Hilbert spaces by means of vector-valued
orthogonal series. Several approaches to this result with different
consequences are given.

Abstract: The main purpose of this paper is to study the validity of
the Hausdorff-Young inequality for vector-valued functions defined on a
non-commutative compact group. The natural context for this research is
that of operator spaces. This leads us to formulate a whole new theory
of Fourier type and cotype for the category of operator spaces. The
present paper is the first step in this program, where the basic theory
is presented, the main examples are analyzed and some questions are posed.

Abstract: Let Fn denote the free group with n generators g1,g2,..,gn. Let
$\lambda$ stand for the left regular representation of Fn and let $\tau$
be the standard trace associated to $\lambda$. Given any positive integer
d, we study the operator space structure of the subspace Wp(n,d) of
Lp(\tau) generated by the family of operators $\lambda(g_{i_1}g_{i_2}
\cdots g_{i_d})$ with $1 \le i_k \le n$. Moreover, our description of
this operator space holds up to a constant which does not depend on n or
p, so that our result remains valid for infinitely many generators. We
also consider the subspace of L_p(\tau) generated by the image under
$\lambda$ of the set of reduced words of length d.  Our result extends
to any exponent $1 \le p \le \infty$ a previous result of Buchholz for
the space $W_{\infty}(n,d)$.

This is an announcement for the paper "On linearity of differentiation
in nonsmooth analysis" by Serguei Samborski.


Abstract: We introduce a real vector space composed of set-valued maps
on an open set X and note it by S. It is a complete metric space and a
complete lattice. The set of continuous functions on X is dense in S as in
a metric space and as in a lattice. Thus the constructed space plays the
same role for the space of continuous functions with uniform convergence
as the field of reals plays for the field of rationals. The classical
gradient may be extended in the space S as a close operator. If a function
f belongs to its domain then f is locally lipschitzian and the values
of our gradient coincide with the values of Clarke's gradient. However,
unlike Clarke's gradient, our gradient is a linear operator.
