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 $2\b(\b+1)^{-1}<p<2\b(\b-1)^{-1}$.

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.

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 $E^{\bot}$.

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.

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 }.

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 $l_p$.

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.

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.

Johnson and J. Lindenstrauss has just been published. The book is offered at a nice 30% introductory discount at the moment. In order to allow those scientists who have missed the introductory discount for Volume 1 to buy the book at a discounted price as well, Elsevier is happy to temporarily offer Volume 1 at a 30% discount. In case you are interested, please complete the enclosed leaflet and send it to Andy Deelen at the address mentioned below. In case you have problems with opening the leaflet, please contact Andy Deelen. 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. Contents Basic concepts in the geometry of Banach spaces (W.B. Johnson, J.

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.

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 "Isoperimetric inequalities of euclidean type in metric spaces" by Stefan Wenger. Abstract: In this paper we prove an isoperimetric inequality of euclidean type for complete metric spaces admitting a cone-type inequality. These include all Banach spaces and all complete, simply-connected metric spaces of non-positive curvature in the sense of Alexandrov or, more generally, of Busemann. The main theorem generalizes results of Gromov and Ambrosio-Kirchheim.

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.

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.

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.

This is an announcement for the paper "Uniform embeddings of bounded geometry spaces into reflexive Banach space" by Nathanial Brown and Erik Guentner. 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.

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 $C$.

This is an announcement for the paper "The diameter of the isomorphism 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.

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.

This is an announcement for the paper "Kadec norms on spaces of continuous functions" by Max Burke, Wieslaw Kubis and Stevo Todorcevic. 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 "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. Archive classification: Functional Analysis Citation: Proc. Indian Acad. Sci. (Math.

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.

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.

This is an announcement for the paper "Vector-valued Hausdorff-Young inequality on compact groups" by Jose Garcia-Cuerva and Javier Parcet. 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.

This is an announcement for the paper "Non-commutative Khintchine type inequalities associated with free groups" by Javier Parcet and Gilles Pisier. 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.

This is an announcement for the paper "A class of Banach spaces with few non strictly singular operators" by S. A. Argyros, J. Lopez-Abad, and S. Todorcevic. Abstract: We construct a family $(\mathcal{X}_\al)_{\al\le \omega_1}$ of reflexive Banach spaces with long transfinite bases but with no unconditional basic sequences. In our spaces $\mathcal{X}_\al$ every bounded operator $T$ is split into its diagonal part $D_T$ and its strictly singular part $S_T$.
