Subject: Abstract of a paper by B. Klartag
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "An isomorphic version of the
slicing problem" by B. Klartag.


Abstract: Here we show that any n-dimensional centrally symmetric convex
body K has an n-dimensional perturbation T which is convex and centrally
symmetric, such that the isotropic constant of T is universally bounded. T
is close to K in the sense that the Banach-Mazur distance between T
and K is O(log n). If K has a non-trivial type then the distance is
universally bounded. In addition, if K is quasi-convex then there exists
a quasi-convex T with a universally bounded isotropic constant and with
a universally bounded distance to K.

This is an announcement for the paper "$H^1$-projective Banach spaces"
by Omran Kouba.


Abstract: We study the $H^1$-projective Banach spaces. We prove that
they have the Analytic Radon-Nikodym Property, and that they are cotype
2 spaces which satisfy Grothendieck's Theorem. We show also that the
ultraproduct of $H^1$-projective spaces is $H^1$-projective. Other
results are also discussed.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the interpolation of injective
or projective tensor products of  Banach spaces" by Omran Kouba.


Abstract: We prove a general result on the factorization of matrix-valued
analytic functions. We deduce that if $(E_0,E_1)$ and $(F_0,F_1)$ are
interpolation pairs with dense intersections, then under some conditions
on the spaces $E_0$, $E_1$, $F_0$ and $F_1$, we have $$ [E_0\hat\otimes
F_0,E_1\hat\otimes F_1]_t= [E_0 ,E_1]_t\hat\otimes[F_0 ,F_1]_t, 0 <
t< 1.$$
  We find also conditions on the spaces $E_0$, $E_1$, $F_0$ and $F_1$,
  so that
the following holds $$ [E_0\wcheck\otimes F_0,E_1\wcheck\otimes F_1]_t=
[E_0,E_1]_t\wcheck\otimes [F_0,F_1]_t, 0 <t< 1.$$
  Some applications of these results are also considered.

This is an announcement for the paper "An analogue of the Fuglede formula
in integral geometry on matrix spaces" by E.Ournycheva and B.Rubin.


Abstract: The well known formula of B. Fuglede expresses the mean value
of the Radon k-plane transform on $R^n$ as a Riesz potential. We extend
this formula to the space of $n \times m$ real matrices and show that
the corresponding matrix k-plane transform $f \to \hat f$ is injective
if and only if
 $n-k \ge m$. Different inversion formulas for this transform are
 obtained. We
assume that $f \in L^p$ or $f$ is a continuous function satisfying certain
"minimal" conditions at infinity.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Joram Lindenstrauss and David Preiss
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "On Fr\'echet differentiability
of Lipschitz maps between Banach spaces" by Joram Lindenstrauss and
David Preiss.


Abstract: A well-known open question is whether every countable collection
of Lipschitz functions on a Banach space X with separable dual has a
common point of Frechet differentiability. We show that the answer is
positive for some infinite-dimensional X. Previously, even for collections
consisting of two functions this has been known for finite-dimensional X
only (although for one function the answer is known to be affirmative
in full generality). Our aims are achieved by introducing a new
class of null sets in Banach spaces (called $\Gamma$-null sets),
whose definition involves both the notions of category and measure,
and showing that the required differentiability holds almost everywhere
with respect to it. We even obtain existence of Fr\'echet derivatives
of Lipschitz functions between certain infinite-dimensional Banach
spaces;no such results have been known previously. Our main result
states that a Lipschitz map between separable Banach spaces is Fr\'echet
differentiable $\Gamma$-almost everywhere provided that it is regularly
Gateaux differentiable $\Gamma$-almost everywhere and the Gateaux
derivatives stay within a norm separable space of operators. It is
easy to see that Lipschitz maps of X to spaces with the Radon-Nikodym
property are Gateaux differentiable $\Gamma$-almost everywhere. Moreover,
Gateaux differentiability implies regular Gateaux differentiability with
exception of another kind of negligible sets, so-called $\sigma$-porous
sets. The answer to the question is therefore positive in every space
in which every $\sigma$-porous set is $\Gamma$-null. We show that this
holds for $C(K)$ with $K$ countable compact, the Tsirelson space and
for all subspaces of $c_0$, but that it fails for Hilbert spaces.

Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "A classification for 2-isometries
of noncommutative Lp-spaces" by Marius Junge, Zhong-Jin Ruan and David
Sherman.


Abstract: In this paper we extend previous results of Banach, Lamperti
and Yeadon on isometries of Lp-spaces to the non-tracial case first
introduced by Haagerup.  Specifically, we use operator space techniques
and an extrapolation argument to prove that every 2-isometry T : Lp(M)
to Lp(N) between arbitrary noncommutative Lp-spaces can always be written
in the form T(phi^{1/p}) = w (phi circ pi^{-1} circ E)^{1/p}, for phi
in M_*^+. Here pi is a normal *-isomorphism from M onto the von Neumann
subalgebra pi(M) of N, w is a partial isometry in N, and E is a normal
conditional expectation from N onto pi(M). As a consequence of this,
any 2-isometry is automatically a complete isometry and has completely
contractively complemented range.

This is an announcement for the paper "Weakly null sequences in the

Abstract: The hierarchy of the block bases of transfinite normalized
averages of a normalized Schauder basic sequence is introduced and a
criterion is given for a normalized weakly null sequence in C(K), the
Banach space of scalar valued functions continuous on the compact metric
space K, to admit a block basis of normalized averages equivalent to the
unit vector basis of c_0, the Banach space of null scalar sequences. As
an application of this criterion, it is shown that every normalized
weakly null sequence in C(K), for countable K, admits a block basis of
normalized averages equivalent to the unit vector basis of c_0.

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 $\lambda(g_{i_1}g_{i_2}
... g_{i_d})$ 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 $W_{\infty}(n,d)$.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Marius Junge and Javier Parcet
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "The norm of sums of independent
non-commutative random variables in   $L_p(\ell_1)$" by Marius Junge
and Javier Parcet.


Abstract: We investigate the norm of sums of independent vector-valued
random variables in non-commutative Lp spaces. This allows us to obtain
a uniform family of complete embeddings of the Schatten class Sq^n
in Sp(lq^m) with optimal order m=n^2. Using these embeddings we show
the surprising fact that the sharp type (cotype) index in the sense of
operator spaces for Lp[0,1] is min(p,p') (max(p,p')). Similar techniques
are used to show that the operator space notions of B-convexity and
K-convexity are equivalent.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Gilles Pisier
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "Completely bounded maps into
certain Hilbertian operator spaces" by Gilles Pisier.


Abstract: We prove a factorization of completely bounded maps from
a $C^*$-algebra $A$ (or an exact operator space $E\subset A$) to
$\ell_2$ equipped with the operator space structure of $(C,R)_\theta$
($0<\theta<1$) obtained by complex interpolation between the column and
row Hilbert spaces. More precisely, if $F$ denotes $\ell_2$ equipped with
the operator space structure of $(C,R)_\theta$, then $u:\ A \to F$ is
completely bounded iff there are states $f,g$ on $A$ and $C>0$ such that
\[ \forall a\in A\quad \|ua\|^2\le C f(a^*a)^{1-\theta}g(aa^*)^{\theta}.\]
This extends the case $\theta=1/2$ treated in a recent paper with
Shlyakhtenko. The constants we obtain tend to 1 when $\theta \to 0$
or $\theta\to 1$. We use analogues of ``free Gaussian" families in non
semifinite von Neumann algebras. As an application, we obtain that, if
$0<\theta<1$, $(C,R)_\theta$ does not embed completely isomorphically into
the predual of a semifinite von Neumann algebra. Moreover, we characterize
the subspaces $S\subset R\oplus C$ such that the dual operator space $S^*$
embeds (completely isomorphically) into $M_*$ for some semifinite von
neumann algebra $M$: the only possibilities are $S=R$, $S=C$, $S=R\cap C$
and direct sums built out of these three spaces. We also discuss when
$S\subset R\oplus C$ is injective, and give a simpler proof of a result
due to Oikhberg on this question. In the appendix, we present a proof
of Junge's theorem that $OH$ embeds completely isomorphically into
a non-commutative $L_1$-space. The main idea is similar to Junge's,
but we base the argument on complex interpolation and Shlyakhtenko's
generalized circular systems (or ``generalized free Gaussian"), which
somewhat unifies Junge's ideas with those of our work with Shlyakhtenko.

This is an announcement for the paper "Integer cells in convex sets"
by Roman Vershynin.


Abstract: Every convex body K in R^n admits a coordinate projection PK
that contains at least vol(0.1 K) cells of the integer lattice PZ^n,
provided this volume is at least one. Our proof of this counterpart
of Minkowski's theorem is based on an extension of the combinatorial
density theorem of Sauer, Shelah and Vapnik-Chervonenkis to Z^n. This
leads to a new approach to sections of convex bodies.In particular,
fundamental results of the asymptotic convex geometry such as the Volume
Ratio Theorem and Milman's duality of the diameters admit natural versions
for coordinate sections.

This is an announcement for the paper "Ramsey and Nash-Williams
combinatorics via Schreier families" by Vassiliki Farmaki.


Abstract: The main results of this paper (a) extend the finite Ramsey
partition theorem, and (b) employ this extension to obtain a stronger
form of the infinite Nash-Williams partition theorem, and also a new
proof of Ellentuck's, and hence Galvin-Prikry's partition theorem. The
proper tool for this unification of the classical partition theorems at
a more general and stronger level is the system of Schreier families
$({\cal A}_{\xi})$ of finite subsets of the set of natural numbers,
defined for every countable ordinal $\xi$.

This is an announcement for the paper "The numerical radius Haagerup
norm and Hilbert space square  factorizations" by Takashi Itoh and
Masaru Nagisa.


Abstract: We study a factorization of bounded linear maps from an operator
space $A$ to its dual space $A^*$. It is shown that $T : A \longrightarrow
A^*$ factors through a pair of a column Hilbert spaces $\mathcal{H}_c$
and its dual space if and only if $T$ is a bounded linear form on $A
\otimes A$ by the canonical identification equipped with a numerical
radius type Haagerup norm. As a consequence, we characterize a bounded
linear map from a Banach space to its dual space, which factors through
a pair of Hilbert spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "Combinatorics of random processes
and sections of convex bodies" by Mark Rudelson and Roman Vershynin.


Abstract: We find a sharp combinatorial bound for the metric entropy
of sets in R^n and general classes of functions. This solves two basic
combinatorial conjectures on the empirical processes.
  1. A class of functions satisfies the uniform Central Limit Theorem
  if the
square root of its combinatorial dimension is integrable.
  2. The uniform entropy is equivalent to the combinatorial dimension
  under
minimal regularity. Our method also constructs a nicely bounded coordinate
section of a symmetric convex body in R^n. In the operator theory, this
essentially proves for all normed spaces the restricted invertibility
principle of Bourgain and Tzafriri.

This is an announcement for the paper "The fixed point property for a
class of nonexpansive maps in   L\sp\infty(\Omega,\Sigma,\mu)" by Cleon
S. Barroso.


Abstract: For a finite and positive measure space $(\Omega,\Sigma,\mu)$
and any weakly compact convex subset of $L\sp\infty(\Omega,\Sigma,mu)$,
a fixed point theorem for a class of nonexpansive self-mappings is
proved. An analogous result is obtained for the space $C(\Omega)$. An
illustrative example is given.

This is an announcement for the paper "Metric spaces with linear
extensions preserving Lipschitz condition" by A. Brudnyi and Yu. Brudnyi.


Abstract: We study a new bi-Lipschitz invariant \lambda(M) of a metric
space M; its finiteness means that Lipschitz functions on an arbitrary
subset of M can be linearly extended to functions on M whose Lipschitz
constants are enlarged by a factor controlled by \lambda(M). We prove
that \lambda(M) is finite for several important classes of metric
spaces. These include metric trees of arbitrary cardinality, groups
of polynomial growth, some groups of exponential growth and certain
classes of Riemannian manifolds of bounded geometry. On the other hand
we construct an example of a Riemann surface M of bounded geometry for
which \lambda(M)=\infty.

Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "Coarse embeddings of metric spaces
into Hilbert spaces" by Piotr W. Nowak.


Abstract: There are several characterizations of coarse embeddability
of a discrete metric space into a Hilbert space. In this note we give
such characterizations for general metric spaces. By applying these
results to the spaces $L_p(\mu)$, we get their coarse embeddability into
a Hilbert space for $0<p<2$. This together with a theorem by Banach and
Mazur yields that coarse embeddability into $\ell_2$ and into $L_p(0,1)$
are equivalent when $1 \le p<2$. A theorem by G.Yu and the above allow
to extend to $L_p(\mu)$, $0<p<2$, the range of spaces, coarse embedding
into which guarantees for a finitely generated group $\Gamma$ %(viewed
as a metric space) to satisfy the Novikov Conjecture.

This is an announcement for the paper "Isoperimetry of waists and local

Abstract: Existence of nicely bounded sections of two symmetric convex
bodies K and L implies that the intersection of random rotations of K
and L is nicely bounded.  For L = subspace, this main result immediately
yields the unexpected phenomenon: "If K has one nicely bounded section,
then most sections of K are nicely bounded". This 'existence implies
randomness' consequence was proved independently in [Giannopoulos,
Milman and Tsolomitis]. The main result represents a new connection
between thelocal asymptotic convex geometry (study of sections of K) and
the global asymptotic convex geometry (study K as a whole). The method
relies on the new 'isoperimetry of waists' on the sphere due to Gromov.

Next September, from the 20th to the 24th, the SECOND INTERNATIONAL
COURSE OF MATHEMATICAL ANALISIS IN ANDALUCIA will be held in Granada
(Spain). These courses are held every two years in an Andalusian
city, with the first being in Cádiz, in September 2002.  Our aim
is to give an extensive overview of new directions and advances in
Mathematical Analysis. Therefore the researcher is invited to get into
topics seen promising as guidelines for current and future research
in this interesting area of Mathematics. Leading researchers in the
area will provide us with a large variety of topics and open problems,
showing also some tools and techniques that have been helpful in similar
situations. In order to accomplish this goal, both seminars and one-hour
talks will be offered. While the one-hour talk are intended to provide
an overview on a variety of current topics, the seminars will extend
over several days and will therefore allow an in-depth discussion of
certain specific subjects. Moreover, all participants of the meeting
will have the opportunity to present new results of their research in
short communications.

The invited speakers of this Second Course are the following:

Richard M. Aron (Kent State University, USA)
Fernando Bombal  (Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain)
José Bonet,  (Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, Spai
Javier Duoandikoetxea  (Universidad del País Vasco, Spain)
Miguel de Guzmán  (Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain)(*)
Gilles Godefroy (U. Paris VI , France )
William B. Johnson (Texas A&M University, USA)
Nigel J. Kalton, (University of Missouri, USA)
Michael Neumann (Mississippi State University, USA)
Lawrence Narici (St. John's University, New York, USA)
Kristian Seip (Norwegian University of Sciences and Technology, Norway)
Manuel Valdivia (Universidad de Valencia, Spain)
Joan Verdera (Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona, Spain)
Felipe Zó (Universidad Nacional de San Luis, Argentina)

(*) We are very sorry to announce the death of Professor Miguel de
Guzman (1936-2004), on April 14, 2004. Professor Guzman held a Chair
in Mathematical Analysis at the Universidad  Complutense de Madrid and
was a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences. We had looked forward
very much to his participation, as a principal speaker at our meeting.
His guidance, leadership,  and wisdom will be very much missed.

The registration fee is 50 euros for students and 100 euros for all
others, provided this fee is paid before July 15th. After July 15, 2004,
the fee will be 100 euros for students and 120 euros others. A gala
dinner is included in this fee. To formalize the registration process,
participants need to complete the inscription form and also to pay
the inscription fee. The electronic version of the inscription form is
available in our web page:

http://www.ugr.es/local/amandal

where one can register on-line. Finally if you have problems to coming
into our web page please contact us.

Lodging is arranged by our Technical Secretary (Eurocongres  S.A.)
We have rooms in Students Residence Halls at 20 euros per single room
per night (subsidized fee) and four star hotels at 60.10 per room per
night (which is a special price for our University), with  breakfast
included. Both the Student Residence Halls and affiliated hotels are
located within walking distance to the meeting centre (the Faculty of
Science of the Universidad de Granada). We would like to advise you that
despite the fact that Granada has many hotels, the number of room we can
offer you to this special price is very limited. We therefore strongly
suggest that you make your reservation as soon as possible, especially
since September is still high season in Granada.  Student Residence and
hotel rooms will be assigned by strict reservation order and, after that,
we cannot guarantee these prices.

The scientific program will be complemented by some of the typical
attractions of Granada and its surroundings (of course, a visit to
the Alhambra is included!). These leisure activities will encourage
links of friendship that are so important for every professional group.
The Organizing Committee invites you to participate in this meeting with
the best wishes that you have a happy and fruitful stay here in Granada.



Yours sincerely.

This is an announcement for the paper "Estimates of disjoint sequences
in Banach lattices and r. i. function  spaces" by R. Gonzalo and
J. A. Jaramillo.


Abstract: We introduce UDSp-property (resp. UDTq-property) in Banach
lattices as the property that every normalized disjoint sequence has
a subsequence with an upper p-estimate (resp. lower q-estimate). In
the case of rearrangement invariant spaces, the relationships with Boyd
indices of the space are studied.  Some applications of these properties
are given to the high order smoothness of Banach lattices, in the sense
of the existence of differentiable bump functions.

(which is a special price for our University), with breakfast included. Both
the Student Residence Halls and affiliated hotels are located within walking
distance to the meeting centre (Faculty of Science of the University of
Granada). We would like to advise you that despite the fact that Granada has
many hotels, the number of rooms we can offer you to this special price is
very limited. We therefore strongly suggest that you make your reservation
as soon as possible, especially since September is still high season in
Granada. Student Residence and hotel rooms will be assigned by strict
reservation order and, after that, we cannot guarantee these prices.

The scientific program will be complemented by some of the typical
attractions of Granada and its surroundings (of course, a visit to the
Alhambra is included!). These leisure activities will encourage links of
friendship that are so important for every professional group.

The Organizing Committee invites you to participate in this meeting with the
best wishes that you have a happy and fruitful stay here, in Granada.

Yours sincerely,

Victoria Velasco (Coordinator)

This is an announcement for the paper "Fixed point theorems for
asymptotically contractive mappings" by Tomonari Suzuki.


Abstract: In this short paper, we prove fixed point theorems for
nonexpansive mappings whose domains are unbounded subsets of Banach
spaces. These theorems are generalizations of Penot's result in
[Proc. Amer. Math. Soc., 131 (2003), 2371--2377].

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Piotr Pucha{\l}a
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "Continuous version of the Choquet
integral reperesentation theorem" by Piotr Pucha{\l}a.


Abstract: The Choquet - Bishop - de Leeuw theorem states that each element
of a compact convex subset of a locally convex topological Hausdorff space
is a barycenter of a probability measure supported by the set of extreme
points of that set. By the Edgar - Mankiewicz result this remains true
for nonempty closed bounded and convex set provided it has Radon - Nikodym
property. In the paper it is shown, that Choquet - type theorem holds also
for "moving" sets: they are values of a certain multifunction. Namely, the
existence of a suitable weak* continuous family of probability measures
"almost representing" points of such sets is proven. Both compact and
noncompact cases are considered. The continuous versions of the Krein -
Milman theorem are obtained as corollaries.

This is an announcement for the paper "Some remarks on transportation
inequalities and the slicing problem" by Mark W. Meckes.


Abstract: We show that transportation cost inequalities can be used
to derive bounds for isotropic constants of convex bodies. We state
a conjecture about transportation costs (and discuss support for it)
which would have strong consequences for the slicing problem.

Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "On the extension of H\"{o}lder
maps with values in spaces of continuous functions" by Gilles Lancien
and Beata Randrianantoanina.


Abstract: We study the isometric extension problem for H\"{o}lder
maps from subsets of any Banach space into $c_0$ or into a space
of continuous functions. For a Banach space $X$, we prove that any
$\alpha$-H\"{o}lder map, with $0<\alpha\leq 1$, from a subset of $X$
into $c_0$ can be isometrically extended to $X$ if and only if $X$
is finite dimensional. For a finite dimensional normed space $X$ and
for a compact metric space $K$, we prove that the set of $\alpha$'s
for which all $\alpha$-H\"{o}lder maps from a subset of $X$ into $C(K)$
can be extended isometrically is either $(0,1]$ or $(0,1)$ and we give
examples of both occurrences. We also prove that for any metric space $X$,
the described above set of $\al$'s does not depend on $K$, but only on
finiteness of $K$.

Abstract: In this paper we extend the block combinatorics partition
theorems of Hindman and Milliken in the setting of the recursive system
of the block Schreier families (B^xi) consisting of families defined for
every countable ordinal xi.  Results contain (a) a block partition Ramsey
theorem for every countable ordinal xi (Hindman's theorem corresponding
to xi=1, and Milliken's theorem to xi a finite ordinal), (b) a countable
ordinal form of the block Nash-Williams partition theorem, and (c)
a countable ordinal block partition theorem for sets closed in the
infinite block analogue of Ellentuck's topology.

This is an announcement for the paper "Lusin's Theorem and Bochner
integration" by Peter A. Loeb and Erik Talvila.


Abstract: It is shown that the approximating functions used to define
the Bochner integral can be formed using geometrically nice sets, such as
balls, from a differentiation basis. Moreover, every appropriate sum of
this form will be within a preassigned $\varepsilon$ of the integral, with
the sum for the local errors also less than $\varepsilon$. All of this
follows from the ubiquity of Lebesgue points, which is a consequence of
Lusin's theorem, for which a simple proof is included in the discussion.

Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "The Busemann-Petty problem for
arbitrary measures" by Artem Zvavitch.


Abstract: The aim of this paper is to study properties of sections of
convex bodies with respect to different types of measures. We present
a formula connecting the Minkowski functional of a convex symmetric
body K with the measure of its sections. We apply this formula to study
properties of general measures most of which were known before only in
the case of the standard Lebesgue measure. We solve an analog of the
Busemann-Petty problem for the case of general measures.  In addition,
we show that there are measures, for which the answer to the generalized
Busemann-Petty problem is affirmative in all dimensions. Finally,
we apply the latter fact to prove a number of different inequalities
concerning the volume of sections of convex symmetric bodies in $\R^n$
and solve a version of generalized Busemann-Petty problem for sections
by k-dimensional subspaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "Some equivalence relations which

by Valentin Ferenczi and Eloi Medina Galego.


Abstract: We improve the known results about the complexity of the
relation of isomorphism between separable Banach spaces up to Borel
reducibility, and we achieve this using the classical spaces $c_0$,
$\ell_p$ and $L_p$, $1 \leq p <2$. More precisely, we show that
the relation $E_{K_{\sigma}}$ is Borel reducible to isomorphism and
complemented biembeddability between subspaces of $c_0$ or $\ell_p,
1 \leq p <2$. We show that the relation $E_{K_{\sigma}} \otimes =^+$
is Borel reducible to isomorphism, complemented biembeddability, and
Lipschitz equivalence between subspaces of $L_p, 1 \leq p <2$.

Ferenczi and Eloi Medina Galego.


Abstract: We construct a continuum of mutually non-isomorphic separable
Banach spaces which are complemented in each other. Consequently, the
Schroeder-Bernstein Index of any of these spaces is $2^{\aleph_0}$. Our
construction is based on a Banach space introduced by W. T. Gowers
and B. Maurey in 1997. We also use classical descriptive set theory
methods, as in some work of V. Ferenczi and C.  Rosendal, to improve some
results of P. G. Casazza and of N. J. Kalton on the Schroeder-Bernstein
Property for spaces with an unconditional finite-dimensional Schauder
decomposition.

Abstract: A Banach space contains either a minimal subspace or a

analytic equivalence relations are applied in the context of Banach
spaces to show that if $E_0$ does not reduce to isomorphism of the
subspaces of a space, in particular, if the subspaces of the space admit
a classification up to isomorphism by real numbers, then any subspace
with an unconditional basis is isomorphic to its square and hyperplanes
and has an isomorphically homogeneous subsequence.

Abstract: In this note we give sharp estimates on the volume of the set
of separable states on N qubits. In particular, the magnitude of the
"effective radius" of that set in the sense of volume is determined up
to a factor which is a (small) power of N, and thus precisely on the
scale of powers of its dimension.  Additionally, one of the appendices
contains sharp estimates (by known methods) for the expected values of
norms of the GUE random matrices. We employ standard tools of classical
convexity, high-dimensional probability and geometry of Banach spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "Duality of metric entropy" by

Abstract: For two convex bodies K and T in $R^n$, the covering number of K
by T, denoted N(K,T), is defined as the minimal number of translates of T
needed to cover K. Let us denote by $K^o$ the polar body of K and by D the
euclidean unit ball in $R^n$. We prove that the two functions of t, N(K,tD)
and N(D, tK^o), are equivalent in the appropriate sense, uniformly
over symmetric convex bodies K in $R^n$ and over positive integers n. In
particular, this verifies the duality conjecture for entropy numbers
of linear operators, posed by Pietsch in 1972, in the central case when
either the domain or the range of the operator is a Hilbert space.

This is an announcement for the paper "On convexified packing
and entropy duality" by S. Artstein, V. Milman, S. J. Szarek, and
N. Tomczak-Jaegermann.


Abstract: For a compact operator acting between two Banach spaces,
a 1972 duality conjecture due to Pietsch asserts that its entropy
numbers and those of its adjoint are equivalent. This is equivalent
to a dimension-free inequality relating covering (or packing) numbers
for convex bodies to those of their polars. The duality conjecture has
been recently proved (see math.FA/0407236) in the central case when one
of the Banach spaces is Hilbertian, which - in the geometric setting -
corresponds to a duality result for symmetric convex bodies in Euclidean
spaces. In the present paper we define a new notion of "convexified
packing," show a duality theorem for that notion, and use it to prove the
duality conjecture under much milder conditions on the spaces involved
(namely, that one of them is K-convex).

This is an announcement for the paper "Saturating constructions for
normed spaces" by Stanislaw J. Szarek and Nicole Tomczak-Jaegermann  .


Abstract: We prove several results of the following type: given finite
dimensional normed space V there exists another space X with
log(dim X) = O(log(dim V)) and such that every subspace (or quotient) of X,
whose dimension is not "too small," contains a further subspace isometric
to V. This sheds new light on the structure of such large subspaces or
quotients (resp., large sections or projections of convex bodies) and
allows to solve several problems stated in the 1980s by V. Milman. The
proofs are probabilistic and depend on careful analysis of images of
convex sets under Gaussian linear maps.

This is an announcement for the paper "Saturating constructions for
normed spaces II" by Stanislaw J. Szarek and Nicole Tomczak-Jaegermann.


Abstract: We prove several results of the following type: given finite
dimensional normed space V possessing certain geometric property there
exists another space X having the same property and such that
(1) log(dim X) = O(log(dim V)) and (2) every subspace of X, whose dimension
is not "too small," contains a further well-complemented subspace nearly
isometric to V. This sheds new light on the structure of large subspaces
or quotients of normed spaces (resp., large sections or linear images
of convex bodies) and provides definitive solutions to several problems
stated in the 1980s by V. Milman. The proofs are probabilistic and depend
on careful analysis of images of convex sets under Gaussian linear maps.

This is an announcement for the paper "The Daugavet property of
$C^*$-algebras, $JB^*$-triples, and of their isometric preduals"
by Julio Becerra-Guerrero and Miguel Martin.


Abstract: A Banach space $X$ is said to have the Daugavet property if
every rank-one operator $T:X\longrightarrow X$ satisfies $\|Id + T\|
= 1 + \|T\|$. We give geometric characterizations of this property
in the settings of $C^*$-algebras, $JB^*$-triples and their isometric
preduals. We also show that, in these settings, the Daugavet property
passes to ultrapowers, and thus, it is equivalent to an stronger property
called the uniform Daugavet property.

This is an announcement for the paper "Dynamical entropy in Banach spaces"
by David Kerr and Hanfeng Li.


Abstract: We introduce a version of Voiculescu-Brown approximation
entropy for isometric automorphisms of Banach spaces and develop within
this framework the connection between dynamics and the local theory of
Banach spaces discovered by Glasner and Weiss. Our fundamental result
concerning this contractive approximation entropy, or CA entropy,
characterizes the occurrence of positive values both geometrically
and topologically. This leads to various applications; for example,
we obtain a geometric description of the topological Pinsker factor and
show that a C*-algebra is type I if and only if every multiplier inner
*-automorphism has zero CA entropy. We also examine the behaviour of
CA entropy under various product constructions and determine its value
in many examples, including isometric automorphisms of l_p spaces and
noncommutative tensor product shifts.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Vladimir Pestov
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "Oscillation stability of the
Urysohn metric space" by Vladimir Pestov.


Abstract: We outline general concepts of oscillation stability and
distortion for spaces with action of a topological transformation group,
and survey a number of examples. We observe that the universal Urysohn
metric space $\U$ (viewed as a homogeneous factor-space of its group of
isometries) is oscillation stable, that is, for every bounded uniformly
continuous function $f\colon\U\to\R$ and each $\e>0$ there is an isometric
copy $\U^\prime\subset\U$ of $\U$, such that $f\vert_{\U^\prime}$ is
constant to within $\e$. This stands in marked contrast to the unit sphere
$\s^\infty$ of the Hilbert space $\ell^2$, which is a universal analogue
of $\U$ in the class of spherical metric spaces, but has the distortion
property according to a well-known result by Odell and Schlumprecht.

This is an announcement for the paper "The UMD constants of the summation
operators" by J\"org Wenzel.


Abstract: The UMD property of a Banach space is one of the most useful
properties when one thinks about possible applications. This is in
particular due to the boundedness of the vector-valued Hilbert transform
for functions with values in such a space.
  Looking at operators instead of at spaces, it is easy to check that the
summation operator does not have the UMD property. The actual asymptotic
behavior however of the UMD constants computed with martingales of length
n is unknown.
  We explain, why it would be important to know this behavior, rephrase
  the
problem of finding these UMD constants and give some evidence of how
they behave asymptotically.

This is an announcement for the paper "Strong martingale type and uniform
smoothness" by J\"org Wenzel.


Abstract: We introduce stronger versions of the usual notions of
martingale type p <= 2 and cotype q >= 2 of a Banach space X and show that
these concepts are equivalent to uniform p-smoothness and q-convexity,
respectively. All these are metric concepts, so they depend on the
particular norm in X.
  These concepts allow us to get some more insight into the fine line
  between X
being isomorphic to a uniformly p-smooth space or being uniformly
p-smooth itself.
  Instead of looking at Banach spaces, we consider linear operators
  between
Banach spaces right away. The situation of a Banach space X can be
rediscovered from this by considering the identity map of X.

This is an announcement for the paper "Embedding the diamond graph in
$L_p$ and dimension reduction in $L_1$" by J. R. Lee and A. Naor.


Abstract: We show that any embedding of the level-k diamond graph of
Newman and Rabinovich into $L_p$, $1 < p \le 2$, requires distortion at
least $\sqrt{k(p-1) + 1}$. An immediate consequence is that there exist
arbitrarily large n-point sets $X \subseteq L_1$ such that any D-embedding
of X into $\ell_1^d$ requires $d \geq n^{\Omega(1/D^2)}$. This gives a
simple proof of the recent result of Brinkman and Charikar which settles
the long standing question of whether there is an $L_1$ analogue of the
Johnson-Lindenstrauss dimension reduction lemma.

This is an announcement for the paper "Skipped blocking and other
decompositions in Banach spaces" by Steven F. Bellenot.


Abstract: Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for when a
sequence of finite dimensional subspaces (X_n) can be blocked to be a
skipped blocking decompositon (SBD). The condition is order independent,
so permutations of conditional basis, for example can be so blocked. This
condition is implied if (X_n) is shrinking, or (X_n) is a permutation
of a FDD, or if X is reflexive and (X_n) is separating. A separable
space X has PCP, if and only if, every norming decomposition (X_n) can
be blocked to be a boundedly complete SBD.  Every boundedly complete
SBD is a JT-decomposition.

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

This is an announcement for the paper "A weak-type inequality
for non-commutative martingales and applications" by Narcisse
Randrianantoanina.


Abstract: We prove a weak-type (1,1) inequality for square functions
of non-commutative martingales that are simultaneously bounded in $L^2$
and $L^1$.
 More precisely, the following non-commutative analogue of a classical
 result
of
 Burkholder holds:
   there exists an absolute constant $K>0$ such that if $\cal{M}$ is a
semi-finite von Neumann algebra and $(\cal{M}_n)^{\infty}_{n=1}$ is
an increasing filtration of von Neumann subalgebras of $\cal{M}$
then for any given martingale $x=(x_n)^{\infty}_{n=1}$
that is bounded in $L^2(\cal{M})\cap L^1(\cal{M})$,
adapted to $(\cal{M}_n)^{\infty}_{n=1}$, there exist two
\underline{martingale difference} sequences, $a=(a_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ and
$b=(b_n)_{n=1}^\infty$, with $dx_n = a_n + b_n$ for every $n\geq 1$, \[
\left\| \left(\sum^\infty_{n=1} a_n^*a_n \right)^{{1}/{2}}\right\|_{2}
+ \left\| \left(\sum^\infty_{n=1} b_nb_n^*\right)^{1/2}\right\|_{2} \leq
2\left\| x \right\|_2, \] and \[ \left\| \left(\sum^\infty_{n=1} a_n^*a_n
\right)^{{1}/{2}}\right\|_{1,\infty} + \left\| \left(\sum^\infty_{n=1}
b_nb_n^*\right)^{1/2}\right\|_{1,\infty} \leq K\left\| x \right\|_1. \]
 As an application, we obtain the optimal orders of growth for the
 constants
involved in the Pisier-Xu non-commutative analogue of the classical
Burkholder-Gundy inequalities.

Dear colleagues,

would it be possible to announce on the Banach Bulletin Board
the second announcement (below) of the Winter School on
Probabilistic Methods in High Dimension Phenomena? Many thanks
in advance for your help.

Sincerely yours.

M. Ledoux


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


          Second Announcement of the Winter School on
       PROBABILISTIC METHODS IN HIGH DIMENSION PHENOMENA
              Toulouse, January 10-14, 2005

 The school will provide young as well as expert scientists with
the  recent probabilistic tools developed for the investigation
of high-dimensional systems. It is part of the European Network
"Phenomena in High Dimension". It  will be composed of the
following five courses:


 I.Benjamini (Rehovot) ``Random walks and Percolation on graphs''

 C.Borell (Goteborg) ``Minkowski sums in Gaussian analysis''

 K.Johansson (Stockholm) ``Determinantal Processes in Random Matrix Theory''

 G.Lugosi (Barcelona) ``Concentration of Functions of Independent Random
Variables''

 R.Schneider (Freiburg) ``Convexity in Stochastic Geometry''




It is now time for participants:


   * to registrate:

         we had some technical problems with the online registration engine.
         So we ask you to registrate (to REGISTRATE AGAIN if you already did
         it through the online form) by sending an email to our secretary
         Mrs Michel
                                michel at lsp.ups-tlse.fr,

         specifying your NAME, your AFFILIATION, ADDRESS and DATES of
attendance.


   * and to prepare their travel and accomodation plans:

         The expenses of the members of the PHD network are supported by
         their nodes (but it is likely that universities have to pay in
         advance and the RTN will reimburse when it is operating).

         We hope that we will have some money left to partially cover
         the expenses of participants not belonging to the network.
         Priority will be given to PHD Students and Post-Docs.
         If you need such support, please mention it in the registration
         email to Mrs Michel.


More information is available on the conference Webpage

              http://www.lsp.ups-tlse.fr/Proba_Winter_School/

It has been updated and contains new pieces of information about

   * abstracts of the courses

   * accomodation: The list of hotels has been completed. Economical options
                   have been added. In particular we have made a temporary
                   reservation for a very limited number of rooms on the campus
                   for 22 Euros per night. These rooms can be booked by
                   sending an email to Mrs Michel (michel at lesp.ups-tlse.fr).


    Sincerely,

              F. Barthe

Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "Small ball probability and
Dvoretzky theorem" by Bo'az Klartag and Roman Vershynin.


Abstract: Large deviation estimates are by now a standard tool inthe
Asymptotic Convex Geometry, contrary to small deviationresults. In this
note we present a novel application of a smalldeviations inequality to a
problem related to the diameters of random sections of high dimensional
convex bodies. Our results imply an unexpected distinction between the
lower and the upper inclusions in Dvoretzky Theorem.

(This announcement, with additional active hyperlinks, is also accessible via
http://www.case.edu/artsci/dean/searches/ )

The  Department of Mathematics in the College of Arts and Sciences at 
Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, invites 
applications for one or more tenure-track appointments. Open rank, 
but appointment at the rank of assistant professor is strongly 
preferred. We especially emphasize coordination with Department, 
College and University goals, including undergraduate teaching in the 
University's new SAGES (Seminar Approach to General Education and 
Scholarship) program. Areas of preference identified to complement 
existing department activities include:

  (1) Functional analysis, convexity theory, and related 
high-dimensional phenomena, the area that recently has been often 
referred to as "asymptotic geometric analysis" and of which members 
of the Department are internationally recognized leaders. See 
http://www.cwru.edu/artsci/math/szarek/ and 
http://www.cwru.edu/artsci/math/werner/ for examples of recent 
research directions. Besides hires that would directly augment this 
research, the Department envisions expanding into related areas of 
non-commutative geometry/functional analysis or even theoretical 
computer science or complexity theory.

  (2) Numerical analysis with concomitant scientific computing, 
especially numerical differential equations and applications and 
numerical optimization. The department has activity both in 
theoretical and applied numerical analysis. Recent research has 
involved numerical methods for inverse problems, structured 
eigenvalue computations, iterative methods for linear systems. The 
Department's faculty in this area have active collaborations with 
researchers in other units at the University, including medical and 
engineering, and in the greater Cleveland area. The successful 
candidate will be primarily a mathematician, but will be interested 
in cross-disciplinary opportunities.

  (3) Mathematical biology. Case is a major center of biological and 
medical research, and synergetic activities are expected. In 
conjunction with ongoing initiatives in the Department of Biology, 
the School of Medicine and the School of Engineering, the Department 
of Mathematics seeks to develop its research activities in 
mathematical biology. Some current faculty have existing 
collaborations with members of the School of Medicine, and some 
graduate students are supported, via these collaborations, by the 
School of Medicine. A faculty member is a PI on a multi-year 
NIH-funded Center for Modeling Integrated Metabolic Systems (MIMS), 
centered in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. The Department 
of Biology has recently hired a theoretical ecologist and more 
coordination between the departments in the area of computational 
biology is expected. The successful candidate will be primarily a 
mathematician, but will be interested in cross-disciplinary 
opportunities.

  Notwithstanding the above, (4) exceptionally strong candidates in 
other areas will be considered. Depending on needs, (5) visiting 
positions/instructorships/lectureships may also be open. Indicate in 
which area you wish to be considered. The successful candidate will 
hold the Ph.D. or equivalent (Masters for lectureship) and have, 
relative to career stage, a distinguished record of publication, 
research, service, and teaching. Compensation commensurate with 
qualifications.

  Case is an integral part of one of the major research medical 
complexes in the country. It also has a major presence in various 
science and engineering disciplines. Geographically, it is located on 
the eastern edge of Cleveland, in northeast Ohio, adjacent to 
University Circle, home to the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra, the 
Cleveland Museum of Art, and many other cultural institutions. There 
is a wide variety of housing, schooling, and other amenities nearby.

  The Department has approximately 20 faculty, with several focused 
research areas. The Department is responsible for service (beginning 
with calculus), majors, and graduate instruction. Nominal teaching 
load is 2/2. The Department has a dedicated 8 CPU computational 
server with an SGI 3D graphics front end. Facilities of the Ohio 
Supercomputer Center are also available.

  Electronic applications only, to: James Alexander, 
math-faculty-position at case.edu, consisting of a letter of 
application, which indicates in which area of preference you wish to 
be considered, AMS cover sheet, a c.v., and the names and contact 
information for four referees to whom we may write. Evaluation of 
applications will begin December 15, 2004. Case is a recipient of a 
National Science Foundation ADVANCE institutional transformation 
grant to increase the participation of women in science and 
engineering. Case Western Reserve University is committed to 
diversity and is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer. 
Applications from women or minorities are especially encouraged.

The School of Science and Engineering at AlAkhawayn University in Ifrane
has openings for faculty positions in Computer Science and in Mathematics
for Spring and Fall 2005.

Mathematics applicants would be expected to teach mainly engineering
mathematics courses within the undergraduate program. All undergraduate
engineering students take core courses and a minor in mathematics
consisting of 6 courses covering Discrete Mathematics, Calculus, Linear
Algebra, Differential Equations and Probability. Mathematics courses are
taught with an emphasis toward engineering applications.


Successful candidates are expected to perform some combination of teaching
at undergraduate and/or graduate levels, applied research, and supervision
of undergraduate/graduate student projects. The normal teaching expectation
in the school is nine hours per week during regular Fall and Spring
semesters, as well as summers when needed.  We have a small class size,
with an average between 25 and 30, and a maximum of 40 per section.


Rank and salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience. Salary
offers are determined based on a standard grid linked to rank, with a
number of additional allowances possible.  The very low cost of living in
our area means that monetary amounts are low compared to other locations,
although relatively we are competitive.  Benefits offered include a housing
allowance and inclusion in the comprehensive Moroccan health insurance
program.

This is an announcement for the paper "A noncommutative version of the
John-Nirenberg theorem" by Marius Junge and Magdalena Musat.


Abstract: We prove a noncommutative version of the John-Nirenberg theorem
for nontracial filtrations of von Neumann algebras. As an application,
we obtain an analogue of the classical large deviation inequality for
elements of the associated $BMO$ space.

Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "Markov chains in smooth Banach
spaces and Gromov hyperbolic metric   spaces" by Assaf Naor, Yuval Peres,
Oded Schramm and Scott Sheffield.


Abstract: A metric space $X$ has {\em Markov type\/} $2$, if for
any reversible finite-state Markov chain $\{Z_t\}$ (with $Z_0$ chosen
according to the stationary distribution) and any map $f$ from the state
space to $X$, the distance $D_t$ from $f(Z_0)$ to $f(Z_t)$ satisfies
$\E(D_t^2) \le K^2\, t\, \E(D_1^2)$ for some $K=K(X)<\infty$. This
notion is due to K.\,Ball (1992), who showed its importance for the
Lipschitz extension problem. However until now, only Hilbert space (and
its bi-Lipschitz equivalents) were known to have Markov type 2. We show
that every Banach space with modulus of smoothness of power type $2$ (in
particular, $L_p$ for $p>2$) has Markov type $2$; this proves a conjecture
of Ball. We also show that trees, hyperbolic groups and simply connected
Riemannian manifolds of pinched negative curvature have Markov type
$2$. Our results are applied to settle several conjectures on Lipschitz
extensions and embeddings. In particular, we answer a question posed by
Johnson and Lindenstrauss in 1982, by showing that for $1<q<2<p<\infty$,
any Lipschitz mapping from a subset of $L_p$ to $L_q$ has a Lipschitz
extension defined on all of $L_p$.

Abstract: A coarse embedding of a metric space X into a metric space Y
is a map f: X-->Y satisfying for every x, y in X:
  \phi_1(d(x,y)) \leq d(f(x),f(y)) \leq \phi_2(d(x,y)) where \phi_1 and
  \phi_2 are nondecreasing functions on [0,\infty) with values
in [0,\infty), with the condition that \phi_1(t) tends to \infty as t
tends to \infty.
  We show that \ell_p does not coarsely embed in a Hilbert space for
2<p<\infty.

Abstract: The Busemann-Petty problem asks whether origin-symmetric

necessarily have smaller $n$-dimensional volume. It is known that the
answer is affirmative if $n\le 4$ and negative if $n\ge 5$. In this

Abstract: We consider the problem of lower bounding a generalized
Minkowski measure of subsets of a convex body with a log-concave
probability measure, conditioned on the set size. A bound is given
in terms of diameter and set size, which is sharp for all set sizes,
dimensions, and norms. In the case of uniform density a stronger theorem
is shown which is also sharp.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Michael Megrelishvili
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "Fragmentability and representations
of flows" by Michael Megrelishvili.


Abstract: Our aim is to study weak star continuous representations of
semigroup actions into the duals of ``good'' (e.g., reflexive and Asplund)
Banach spaces. This approach leads to flow analogs of Eberlein and
Radon-Nikodym compacta and a new class of functions (Asplund functions)
which intimately is connected with Asplund representations and includes
the class of weakly almost periodic functions.
 We show that a flow is weakly almost periodic iff it admits sufficiently
 many
reflexive representations.
 One of the main technical tools in this paper is the concept of
fragmentability (which actually comes from Namioka and Phelps) and
widespreadly used in topological aspects of Banach space theory.
 We explore fragmentability as ``a generalized equicontinuity'' of
 flows. This
unified approach allows us to obtain several dynamical applications. We
generalize and strengthen some results of Akin-Auslander-Berg,
Shtern, Veech-Troallic-Auslander and Hansel-Troallic. We establish that
frequently, for linear G-actions, weak and strong topologies coincide on,
not necessarily closed, G-minimal subsets. For instance such actions are
``orbitwise Kadec``.

This is an announcement for the paper "Characterization of
quasi-Banach spaces which coarsely embed into a Hilbert space" by
N. L. Randrianarivony.


Abstract: A map f between two metric spaces (X,d_1) and (Y,d_2) is called
a coarse embedding of X into Y if there exist two nondecreasing functions
phi_1, phi_2:[0,\infty) --> [0,\infty) such that:
  phi_1(d_1(x,y)) \leq d_2(f(x),f(y)) \leq phi_2(d_1(x,y)) for all x, y in
  X, and phi_1(t) tends to \infty as t tends to \infty.  We characterize
  those quasi-Banach spaces that have a coarse embedding into a
Hilbert space.

          Second Announcement of the Winter School on
       PROBABILISTIC METHODS IN HIGH DIMENSION PHENOMENA
              Toulouse, January 10-14, 2005

 The school will provide young as well as expert scientists with
the  recent probabilistic tools developed for the investigation
of high-dimensional systems. It is part of the European Network
"Phenomena in High Dimension". It  will be composed of the
following five courses:


 I.Benjamini (Rehovot) ``Random walks and Percolation on graphs''

 C.Borell (Goteborg) ``Minkowski sums in Gaussian analysis''

 K.Johansson (Stockholm) ``Determinantal Processes in Random Matrix Theory''

 G.Lugosi (Barcelona) ``Concentration of Functions of Independent Random
Variables''

 R.Schneider (Freiburg) ``Convexity in Stochastic Geometry''




It is now time for participants:


   * to registrate:

         we had some technical problems with the online registration engine.
         So we ask you to registrate (to REGISTRATE AGAIN if you already did
         it through the online form) by sending an email to our secretary
         Mrs Michel
                                michel at lsp.ups-tlse.fr,

         specifying your NAME, your AFFILIATION, ADDRESS and DATES of
attendance.


   * and to prepare their travel and accomodation plans:

         The expenses of the members of the PHD network are supported by
         their nodes (but it is likely that universities have to pay in
         advance and the RTN will reimburse when it is operating).

         We hope that we will have some money left to partially cover
         the expenses of participants not belonging to the network.
         Priority will be given to PHD Students and Post-Docs.
         If you need such support, please mention it in the registration
         email to Mrs Michel.


More information is available on the conference Webpage

              http://www.lsp.ups-tlse.fr/Proba_Winter_School/

It has been updated and contains new pieces of information about

   * abstracts of the courses

   * accomodation: The list of hotels has been completed. Economical options
                   have been added. In particular we have made a temporary
                   reservation for a very limited number of rooms on the campus
                   for 22 Euros per night. These rooms can be booked by
                   sending an email to Mrs Michel (michel at lesp.ups-tlse.fr).


    Sincerely,

This is an announcement for the paper "The alternative Daugavet property
of $C^*$-algebras and $JB^*$-triples" by Miguel Martin.


Abstract: A Banach space $X$ is said to have the alternative
Daugavet property if for every (bounded and linear) rank-one operator
$T:X\longrightarrow X$ there exists a modulus one scalar $\omega$ such
that $\|Id + \omega T\|= 1 + \|T\|$.  We give geometric characterizations
of this property in the setting of $C^*$-algebras, $JB^*$-triples and
their isometric preduals.

Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "The geometry of $L_0$" by
N.J.Kalton, A.Koldobsky, V.Yaskin and M.Yaskina.


Abstract: Suppose that we have the unit Euclidean ball in $\R^n$ and
construct new bodies using three operations - linear transformations,
closure in the radial metric and multiplicative summation defined by
$\|x\|_{K+_0L} = \sqrt{\|x\|_K\|x\|_L}.$ We prove that in dimension 3
this procedure gives all origin symmetric convex bodies, while this is
no longer true in dimensions 4 and higher. We introduce the concept
of embedding of a normed space in $L_0$ that naturally extends the
corresponding properties of $L_p$-spaces with $p\ne0$, and show that
the procedure described above gives exactly the unit balls of subspaces
of $L_0$ in every dimension. We provide Fourier analytic and geometric
characterizations of spaces embedding in $L_0$, and prove several facts
confirming the place of $L_0$ in the scale of $L_p$-spaces.

Abstract: It is shown that every operator on \(C[0,1]\) which preserves
a copy of an asymptotic \(\ell_1\) space, also preserves a copy of
\(C[0,1]\).
