Subject: Abstract of a paper by Bernhard Lamel
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "Local automorphisms of the
Hilbert ball" by Bernhard Lamel.


Abstract: We prove an analogue of Alexander's Theorem for holomorphic
mappings of the unit ball in a complex Hilbert space: Every holomorphic
mapping which takes a piece of the boundary of the unit ball into
the boundary of the unit ball and whose differential at some point
of this boundary is onto is the restriction of an automorphism of
the ball. We also show that it is enough to assume that the mapping
is only Gateaux-holomorphic.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by J. Talponen
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "On weakly extremal structures
in Banach spaces" by J. Talponen.


Abstract: This paper deals with the interplay of the geometry of
the norm and the weak topology in Banach spaces. Both dual and
intrinsic connections between weak forms of rotundity and smoothness
ared discussed. Weakly exposed points, weakly locally uniformly
rotund spaces, smoothness, duality and the interplay of all the
above are studied. An example of a Banach space, which is midpoint
locally uniformly rotund but not weakly locally uniformly rotund
is given.

Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "Almost Euclidean sections
of the N-dimensional cross-polytope using O(N)   random bits" by
Shachar Lovett and Sasha Sodin.


Abstract: It is well known that R^N has subspaces of dimension
proportional to N on which the \ell_1 norm is equivalent to the
\ell_2 norm; however, no explicit constructions are known. Extending
earlier work by Artstein--Avidan and Milman, we prove that such a
subspace can be generated using O(N) random bits.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Boris Rubin
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "The lower dimensional
Busemann-Petty problem for bodies with the   generalized axial
symmetry" by Boris Rubin.


Abstract: The lower dimensional Busemann-Petty problem asks, whether
$n$-dimensional origin-symmetric convex bodies, having smaller
$i$-dimensional sections, necessarily have smaller volumes.
For $i=1$, the affirmative answer is obvious. For $i>3$, the answer
is negative.
For $i=2$ and $i=3$, the problem is still open, except when the body
with smaller sections is a body of revolution. In this case the answer is
affirmative. The paper contains a complete solution to the problem
in the more general situation, when the body with smaller sections
is invariant under orthogonal transformations preserving coordinate
subspaces $R^{l}$ and $R^{n-l}$ of $R^{n}$ for arbitrary fixed
$0<l<n$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Embedding into Banach spaces
with finite dimensional decompositions" by E. Odell and Th.
Schlumprecht.


Abstract: This paper deals with the following types of problems:
Assume a Banach space $X$ has some property (P). Can it be embedded
into some Banach space $Z$ with a finite dimensional decomposition
having property (P), or more generally, having a property related
to (P)? Secondly, given a class of Banach spaces, does there exist
a Banach space in this class, or in a closely related one, which
is universal for this class?

Subject: Abstract of a paper by George Androulakis and Frank Sanacory
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "On the ``Multiple of the
Inclusion Plus Compact'' problem" by George Androulakis and Frank
Sanacory.


Abstract: The ``multiple of the inclusion plus compact problem''
which was posed by T.W.~Gowers in 1996 and Th.~Schlumprecht in 2003,
asks whether for every infinite dimensional Banach space $X$ there
exists a closed subspace $Y$ of $X$ and a bounded linear operator
from $Y$ to $X$ which is not a compact perturbation of a multiple
of the inclusion map from $Y$ to $X$. We give sufficient conditions
on the spreading models of seminormalized basic sequences of a
Banach space $X$ which guarantee that the ``multiple of the inclusion
plus compact'' problem has an affirmative answer for $X$. Our results
strengthen a previous result of the first named author, E.~Odell,
Th.~Schlumprecht and N.~Tomczak-Jaegermann as well as a result of
Th.~Schlumprecht. We give an example of a Hereditarily Indecomposable
Banach space where our results apply.  For the proof of our main
result we use an extension of E.~Odell's Schreier unconditionality
result for arrays.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Marius Junge, Niels Jorgen Nielsen and Timur Oikhberg
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "Rosenthal operator spaces"
by Marius Junge, Niels Jorgen Nielsen and Timur Oikhberg.


Abstract: In 1969 Lindenstrauss and Rosenthal showed that if a
Banach space is isomorphic to a complemented subspace of an L_p-space,
then it is either a script L_p-space or isomorphic to a Hilbert
space. This is the motivation of this paper where we study
non--Hilbertian complemented operator subspaces of non commutative
L_p-spaces and show that this class is much richer than in the
commutative case. We investigate the local properties of some new
classes of operator spaces for every $2<p< \infty$ which can be
considered as operator space analogues of the Rosenthal sequence
spaces from Banach space theory, constructed in 1970. Under the
usual conditions on the defining sequence sigma we prove that most
of these spaces are operator script L_p-spaces, not completely
isomorphic to previously known such spaces. However it turns out
that some column and row versions of our spaces are not operator
script L_p-spaces and have a rather complicated local structure
which implies that the Lindenstrauss--Rosenthal alternative does
not carry over to the non-commutative case.

generalizations of the notion of an intersection-body, are in fact
equivalent. The structures of these two types of generalized
intersection-bodies have been studied by the author in
[http://www.arxiv.org/math.MG/0512058], providing substantial
positive evidence for a positive answer to this question. The purpose
of this note is to construct a counter-example, which provides a
surprising negative answer to this question in a strong sense. This
negative answer implies the existence of a non-trivial non-negative
function in the range of the spherical Radon transform.

This is an announcement for the paper "On Lipschitz and d.c. surfaces
of finite codimension in a Banach space" by Ludvek Zajivcek.


Abstract: Properties of Lipschitz and d.c. surfaces of finite
codimension in a Banach space, and properties of generated
$\sigma$-ideals are studied. These $\sigma$-ideals naturally appear
in the differentiation theory and in the abstract approximation
theory. Using these properties, we improve an unpublished
result of M. Heisler which gives an alternative proof of a result
of D. Preiss on singular points of convex functions.

This is an announcement for the paper "A characterization of subspaces
and quotients of reflexive Banach spaces with unconditional basis"
by W. B. Johnson and Bentuo Zheng.


Abstract: We prove that the dual or any quotient of a separable
reflexive Banach space with the unconditional tree property has the
unconditional tree property. Then we prove that a separable reflexive
Banach space with the unconditional tree property embeds into a
reflexive Banach space with an unconditional basis. This solves
several long standing open problems. In particular, it yields that
a quotient of a reflexive Banach space with an unconditional finite
dimensional decomposition embeds into a reflexive Banach space with
an unconditional basis.

This is an announcement for the paper "A decomposition theorem for
frames and the Feichtinger conjecture" by Peter G. Casazza, Gitta
Kutyniok, Darrin Speegle and Janet C. Tremain.


Abstract: In this paper we study the Feichtinger Conjecture in frame
theory, which was recently shown to be equivalent to the 1959
Kadison-Singer Problem in $C^{*}$-Algebras. We will show that every
bounded Bessel sequence can be decomposed into two subsets each of
which is an arbitrarily small perturbation of a sequence with a
finite orthogonal decomposition. This construction is then used to
answer two open problems concerning the Feichtinger Conjecture: 1.
The Feichtinger Conjecture is equivalent to the conjecture that
every unit norm Bessel sequence is a finite union of frame sequences.
2. Every unit norm Bessel sequence is a finite union of sets each
of which is $\omega$-independent for $\ell_2$-sequences.

This is an announcement for the paper "Minimality properties of
Tsirelson type spaces" by Denka Kutzarova, Denny Leung, Antonis
Manoussakis and Wee Kee Tang.


Abstract: In this paper, we study minimality properties of partly
modified mixed Tsirelson spaces. A Banach space with a normalized
basis (e_k) is said to be subsequentially minimal if for every
normalized block basis (x_k) of (e_k), there is a further block
(y_k) of (x_k) such that (y_k) is equivalent to a subsequence of
(e_k). Sufficient conditions are given for a partly modified mixed
Tsirelson space to be subsequentially minimal and connections with
Bourgain's \ell^{1}-index are established. It is also shown that a
large class of mixed Tsirelson spaces fails to be subsequentially
minimal in a strong sense.

This is an announcement for the paper "Poincar\'{e} type inequalities
on the discrete cube and in the CAR algebra" by Limor Ben-Efraim
and Francoise Lust-Piquard.


Abstract: We prove Lp Poincare inequalities for functions on the
discrete cube and their discrete gradient. We thus recover an
exponential inequality and the concentration phenomenon for the
uniform probability on the cube first obtained by Bobkov and Gotze.
Inequalities involving the discrete gradient and powers of the
discrete Laplacian are also considered, for the Lp norm or more
general ones. Similar results hold true, replacing functions on the
cube by elements of the CAR algebra and considering the annihilation
operators and the number operator.

$m=1,$ this is the famous Banach-Saks-Szlenk theorem. By use of
this property, we also present inequalities for integrals of functions
that are the composition of nonnegative continuous convex functions
on a convex set of a vector space ${\bf R}^m$ and vector-valued
functions in a weakly compact subset of the space $(L_\mu^p)^m$ for
$1\leq p<+\infty$ and inequalities when these vector-valued functions
are in a weakly* compact subset of the product space $(L_\mu^\infty)^m$
generated by $m$ $L_\mu^\infty$-spaces.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Zhenglu Jiang and Xiaoyong Fu
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "The Banach-Saks Property of
the Banach product spaces" by Zhenglu Jiang and Xiaoyong Fu.


Abstract: In this paper we first take a detail survey of the study
of the Banach-Saks property of Banach spaces and then show the
Banach-Saks property of the product spaces generated by a finite
number of Banach spaces having the Banach-Saks property. A more
general inequality for integrals of a class of composite functions
is also given by using this property.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Stefan Neuwirth
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "The maximum modulus of a
trigonometric trinomial" by Stefan Neuwirth.


Abstract: Let Lambda be a set of three integers and let C_Lambda
be the space of 2pi-periodic functions with spectrum in Lambda
endowed with the maximum modulus norm. We isolate the maximum modulus
points x of trigonometric trinomials T in C_Lambda and prove that
x is unique unless |T| has an axis of symmetry. This permits to
compute the exposed and the extreme points of the unit ball of
C_Lambda, to describe how the maximum modulus of T varies with
respect to the arguments of its Fourier coefficients and to compute
the norm of unimodular relative Fourier multipliers on C_Lambda.
We obtain in particular the Sidon constant of Lambda.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Mark Rudelson and Roman Vershynin
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "The Littlewood-Offord Problem
and invertibility of random matrices" by Mark Rudelson and Roman
Vershynin.


Abstract: We prove two basic conjectures on the distribution of the
smallest singular value of random n times n matrices with independent
entries. Under minimal moment assumptions, we show that the smallest
singular value is of order n^{-1/2}, which is optimal for Gaussian
matrices. Moreover, we give a optimal estimate on the tail probability.
This comes as a consequence of a new and essentially sharp estimate
in the Littlewood-Offord problem: for i.i.d. random variables X_k
and real numbers a_k, determine the probability P that the sum of
a_k X_k lies near some number v. For arbitrary coefficients a_k of
the same order of magnitude, we show that they essentially lie in
an arithmetic progression of length 1/p.

This is an announcement for the paper "Khinchin's inequality,
Dunford--Pettis and compact operators on the   space $\pmb{C([0,1],X)}$"
by Dumitru Popa.


Abstract: We prove that if $X,Y$ are Banach spaces, $\Omega$ a
compact Hausdorff space and $U\hbox{\rm :}\ C(\Omega,X)\rightarrow
Y$ is a bounded linear operator, and if $U$ is a Dunford--Pettis
operator the range of the representing measure $G(\Sigma) \subseteq
DP(X,Y)$ is an uniformly Dunford--Pettis family of operators and
$\|G\|$ is continuous at $\emptyset$. As applications of this result
we give necessary and/or sufficient conditions that some bounded
linear operators on the space $C([0,1],X)$ with values in $c_{0}$
or $l_{p}$, ($1\leq p<\infty$) be Dunford--Pettis and/or compact
operators, in which, Khinchin's inequality plays an important role.

This is an announcement for the paper "Intersection bodies and
generalized cosine transforms" by Boris Rubin.


Abstract: Intersection bodies represent a remarkable class of
geometric objects associated with sections of star bodies and
invoking Radon transforms, generalized cosine transforms, and the
relevant Fourier analysis. We review some known facts and give them
new proofs. The main focus is interrelation between generalized
cosine transforms of different kinds and their application to
investigation of certain family of intersection bodies, which we
call lambda-intersection bodies. The latter include k-intersection
bodies (in the sense of A. Koldobsky) and unit balls of finite-dimensional
subspaces of $L_p$-spaces. In particular, we show that restriction
of the spherical Radon transforms and the generalized cosine
transforms onto lower dimensional subspaces preserves their
integral-geometric structure.  We apply this result to the study
of sections of lambda-intersection bodies. A number of new
characterizations of this class of bodies and examples are given.

Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "Examples and counterexamples
of type I isometric shifts" by Jesus Araujo.


Abstract: We provide examples of nonseparable spaces $X$ for which
$C(X)$ admits an isometric shift of type I, which solves in the
negative a problem proposed by Gutek {\em et al.} (J. Funct. Anal.
{\bf 101} (1991), 97-119). We also give two independent methods for
obtaining separable examples. The first one allows us in particular
to construct examples with infinitely many nonhomeomorphic components
in a subset of the Hilbert space $\ell^2$. The second one applies
for instance to sequences adjoined to any $n$-dimensional compact
manifold (for $n \ge 2$) or to the Sierpi\'nski curve. The combination
of both techniques lead to different examples involving a convergent
sequence adjoined to the Cantor set: one method for the case when
the sequence converges to a point in the Cantor set, and the other
one for the case when it converges outside.

This is an announcement for the paper "Even infinite dimensional
real Banach spaces" by Valentin Ferenczi and Eloi Medina Galego.


Abstract: This article is a continuation of a paper of the first
author \cite{F} about complex structures on real Banach spaces. We
define a notion of even infinite dimensional real Banach space, and
prove that there exist even spaces, including HI or unconditional
examples from \cite{F} and $C(K)$ examples due to Plebanek \cite{P}.
We extend results of \cite{F} relating the set of complex structures
up to isomorphism on a real space to a group associated to inessential
operators on that space, and give characterizations of even spaces
in terms of this group. We also generalize results of \cite{F} about
totally incomparable complex structures to essentially incomparable
complex structures, while showing that the complex version of a
space defined by S. Argyros and A.  Manoussakis \cite{AM} provide
examples of essentially incomparable complex structures which are
not totally incomparable.

Abstract: We prove that a Banach space X is not super-reflexive if
and only if the hyperbolic infinite tree embeds metrically into X.
We improve one implication of J.Bourgain's result who gave a metrical
characterization of super-reflexivity in Banach spaces in terms of
uniforms embeddings of the finite trees. A characterization of the
linear type for Banach spaces is given using the embedding of the
infinite tree equipped with a suitable metric.

Abstract: We prove that if $(v_i)$ is a normalized basic sequence
and X is a Banach space such that every normalized weakly null
sequence in X has a subsequence that is dominated by $(v_i)$, then
there exists a uniform constant $C\geq1$ such that every normalized
weakly null sequence in X has a subsequence that is C-dominated by
$(v_i)$. This extends a result of Knaust and Odell, who proved this
for the cases in which $(v_i)$ is the standard basis for $\ell_p$
or $c_0$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Convex-transitive characterizations
of Hilbert spaces" by Jarno Talponen.


Abstract: In this paper we investigate real convex-transitive Banach
spaces X, which admit a 1-dimensional bicontractive projection P
on X. Various mild conditions regarding the weak topology and the
geometry of the norm are provided, which guarantee that such an X
is in fact isometrically a Hilbert space. The results obtained can
be regarded as partial answers to the well-known Banach-Mazur
rotation problem, as well as to a question posed by B. Randrianantoanina
in 2002 about convex-transitive spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "Strong peak points and
denseness of strong peak functions" by Han Ju Lee.


Abstract: Let $C_b(K)$ be the set of all bounded continuous (real
or complex) functions on a complete metric space $K$ and $A$ a
closed subspace of $C_b(K)$. Using the variational method, it is
shown that the set of all strong peak functions in $A$ is dense if
and only if the set of all strong peak points is a norming subset
of $A$. As a corollary we show that if $X$ is a locally uniformly
convex, complex Banach space, then the set of all strong peak
functions in $\mathcal{A}(B_X)$ is a dense $G_\delta$ subset.
Moreover if $X$ is separable, smooth and locally uniformly convex,
then the set of all norm and numerical strong peak functions in
$\mathcal{A}_u(B_X:X)$ is a dense $G_\delta$ subset.  In case that
a set of uniformly strongly exposed points of a (real or complex)
Banach space $X$ is a norming subset of $\mathcal{P}({}^n X)$ for
some $n\ge 1$, then the set of all strongly norm attaining elements
in $\mathcal{P}({}^n X)$ is dense, in particular, the set of all
points at which the norm of $\mathcal{P}({}^n X)$ is Fr\'echet
differentiable is a dense $G_\delta$ subset.

This is an announcement for the paper "Pointwise convergence for
semigroups in vector-valued $L^p$ spaces" by Robert J Taggart.


Abstract: Suppose that T_t is a symmetric diffusion semigroup on
L^2(X). We show that the tensor extension of T_t to L^p(X;B), where
B belongs to a certain class of UMD spaces, exhibits pointwise
convergence almost everywhere as t approaches zero. Our principal
tools are vector-valued versions of maximal theorems due to
Hopf--Dunford--Schwartz and Stein. These are proved using subpositivity
and estimates on the bounded imaginary powers of the generator of
T_t. An extension of these results to analytic continuations of T_t
is also given.

Abstract: We extend the Bipolar Theorem of Brannath and Schachermayer
(1999) to the space of nonnegative cadlag supermartingales on a
filtered probability space.  We formulate the notion of fork-convexity
as an analogue to convexity in this setting. As an intermediate
step in the proof of our main result we establish a conditional
version of the Bipolar theorem. In an application to mathematical
finance we describe the structure of the set of dual processes of
the utility maximization problem of Kramkov and Schachermayer (1999)
and give a budget-constraint characterization of admissible consumption
processes in an incomplete semimartingale market.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Tim Austin, Assaf Naor, and Alain Valette
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "The Euclidean distortion of
the lamplighter group" by Tim Austin, Assaf Naor, and Alain Valette.


Abstract: We show that the cyclic lamplighter group $C_2 \bwr C_n$
embeds into Hilbert space with distortion ${\rm O}\left(\sqrt{\log
n}\right)$. This matches the lower bound proved by Lee, Naor and
Peres in~\cite{LeeNaoPer}, answering a question posed in that paper.
Thus the Euclidean distortion of $C_2 \bwr C_n$ is $\Theta\left(\sqrt{\log
n}\right)$. Our embedding is constructed explicitly in terms of the
irreducible representations of the group. Since the optimal Euclidean
embedding of a finite group can always be chosen to be equivariant,
as shown by Aharoni, Maurey and Mityagin~\cite{AhaMauMit} and by
Gromov (see~\cite{deCTesVal}), such representation-theoretic
considerations suggest a general tool for obtaining upper and lower
bounds on Euclidean embeddings of finite groups.

Abstract: A d.c. (delta-convex) function on a normed linear space
is a function representable as a difference of two continuous convex
functions. We show that an infinite dimensional analogue of Hartman's
theorem on stability of d.c.  functions under compositions does not
hold in general. However, we prove that it holds in some interesting
particular cases. Our main results about compositions are proved
in the more general context of d.c. mappings between normed linear
spaces.

Abstract: On each nonreflexive Banach space X there exists a positive
continuous convex function f such that 1/f is not a d.c. function
(i.e., a difference of two continuous convex functions). This result
together with known ones implies that X is reflexive if and only
if each everywhere defined quotient of two continuous convex functions
is a d.c. function. Our construction gives also a stronger version
of Klee's result concerning renormings of nonreflexive spaces and
non-norm-attaining functionals.

This is an announcement for the paper "A new infinite game in Banach
spaces with applications" by Edward Odell, Thomas Schlumprecht and
Andras Zsak.


Abstract: We consider the following two-player game played on a
separable, infinite-dimensional Banach space X. Player S chooses a
positive integer k_1 and a finite-codimensional subspace X_1 of X.
Then player P chooses x_1 in the unit sphere of X_1. Moves alternate
thusly, forever. We study this game in the following setting. Certain
normalized, 1-unconditional sequences (u_i) and (v_i) are fixed so
that S has a winning strategy to force P to select x_i's so that
if the moves are (k_1,X_1,x_1,k_2,X_2,x_2,...), then (x_i) is
dominated by (u_{k_i}) and/or (x_i) dominates (v_{k_i}). In particular,
we show that for suitable (u_i) and (v_i) if X is reflexive and S
can win both of the games above, then X embeds into a reflexive
space Z with an FDD which also satisfies analogous block upper (u_i)
and lower (v_i) estimates. Certain universal space consequences
ensue.

Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "On the fixed point property
in direct sums of Banach spaces with  strictly monotone norms" by
Stanislaw Prus and Andrzej Wisnicki.


Abstract: It is shown that if a Banach space X has the super fixed
point property for nonexpansive mappings or admits a 1-unconditional
basis and Y satisfies property asymptotic (P) (which is weaker than
the condition WCS(Y)>1), then the direct sum of X and Y endowed
with a strictly monotone norm enjoys the weak fixed point property.

Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "An extension of a
Bourgain--Lindenstrauss--Milman inequality" by Omer Friedland and
Sasha Sodin.


Abstract: Let || . || be a norm on R^n. Averaging || (\eps_1 x_1,
\cdots, \eps_n x_n) || over all the 2^n choices of \eps = (\eps_1,
\cdots, \eps_n) in \{ -1, +1 \}^n, we obtain an expression ||| .
||| which is an unconditional norm on R^n.
Bourgain, Lindenstrauss and Milman showed that, for a certain (large)
constant \eta > 1, one may average over (\eta n) (random) choices
of \eps and obtain a norm that is isomorphic to ||| . |||. We show
that this is the case for any \eta > 1.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Tim Austin, Assaf Naor, and Yuval Peres
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "The wreath product of Z with
Z has Hilbert compression exponent 2/3" by Tim Austin, Assaf Naor,
and Yuval Peres.


Abstract: We consider the wreath product $\Z\bwr \Z $, and prove
that any Lipschitz function $f:\Z\bwr \Z \to L_2$ satisfies
$$\liminf_{d_{\Z\bwr\Z}(x,y)\to
\infty}\frac{\|f(x)-f(y)\|_2}{d_{\Z\bwr\Z}(x,y)^{2/3}}<\infty. $$
On the other hand, as as shown by Tessera in~\cite{Tess06}, there
exists a Lipschitz function $g:\Z\bwr \Z \to L_2$ and a real $c>0$
such that $\|f(x)-f(y)\|_2 \ge c\,d_{\Z\bwr\Z}(x,y)^{2/3}$ for all
$x,y \in \Z\bwr\Z$. Thus the Hilbert compression exponent of $\Z\bwr
\Z$ is exactly $\frac23$, answering a question posed by Arzhantseva,
Guba and Sapir~\cite{AGS06} and by Tessara~\cite{Tess06}.  Our proof
is based on an application of K. Ball's notion of Markov type.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Valentin Ferenczi and Eloi Medina Galego
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "Countable groups of isometries
on Banach spaces" by Valentin Ferenczi and Eloi Medina Galego.


Abstract: A group $G$ is representable in a Banach space $X$ if $G$
is isomorphic to the group of isometries on $X$ in some equivalent
norm. We prove that a countable group $G$ is representable in a
separable real Banach space $X$ in several general cases, including
when $G=\{-1,1\} \times H$, $H$ finite and $\dim X \geq |H|$, or
when $G$ contains a normal subgroup with two elements and $X$ is
of the form $c_0(Y)$ or $\ell_p(Y)$, $1 \leq p <+\infty$. This is
a consequence of a result inspired by methods of S. Bellenot and
stating that under rather general conditions on a separable real
Banach space $X$ and a countable bounded group $G$ of isomorphisms
on $X$ containing $-Id$, there exists an equivalent norm on $X$ for
which $G$ is equal to the group of isometries on $X$.
  We also extend methods of K. Jarosz to prove that any complex
Banach space of dimension at least $2$ may be renormed to admit
only trivial real isometries, and that any real Banach space which
is a cartesian square may be renormed to admit only trivial and
conjugation real isometries. It follows that every real space of
dimension at least $4$ and with a complex structure up to isomorphism
may be renormed to admit exactly two complex structures up to
isometry, and that every real cartesian square may be renormed to
admit a unique complex structure up to isometry.

This is an announcement for the paper "Characterizations of the
Radon-Nikodym Property in terms of inverse   limits" by Jeff Cheeger
and Bruce Kleiner.


Abstract: We show that a separable Banach space has the Radon-Nikodym
Property if and only if it is isomorphic to the limit of an inverse
system, V_1<--- V_2<---...<--- V_k<---..., where the V_i's are
finite dimensional Banach spaces, and the bonding maps V_{k-1}<---
V_k are quotient maps. We also show that the inverse system can be
chosen to be a good finite dimensional approximation (GFDA), a
notion introduced our earlier paper "On the differentiability of
Lipschtz maps from metric measure spaces into Banach spaces". As a
corollary, it follows that the differentiation and bi-Lipschitz
non-embedding theorems in that paper, which were proved for maps
into GFDA targets, are optimal in the sense that they hold for
targets with the Radon-Nikodym Property.

This is an announcement for the paper "Randomized series and geometry

Abstract: We study some properties of the randomized series and
their applications to the geometric structure of Banach spaces. For
$n\ge 2$ and $1<p<\infty$, it is shown that $\ell_\infty^n$ is
representable in a Banach space $X$ if and only if it is representable
in the Lebesgue-Bochner $L_p(X)$. New criteria for various convexity
properties in Banach spaces are also studied. It is proved that a
Banach lattice $E$ is uniformly monotone if and only if its
$p$-convexification $E^{(p)}$ is uniformly convex and that a K\"othe
function space $E$ is upper locally uniformly monotone if and only
if its $p$-convexification $E^{(p)}$ is midpoint locally uniformly
convex.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Marius Junge and Hun Hee Lee
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "A Maurey type result for
operator spaces" by Marius Junge and Hun Hee Lee.


Abstract: The little Grothendieck theorem for Banach spaces says
that every bounded linear operator between $C(K)$ and $\ell_2$ is
2-summing. However, it is shown in \cite{J05} that the operator
space analogue fails. Not every cb-map $v : \K \to OH$ is completely
2-summing. In this paper, we show an operator space analogue of
Maurey's theorem : Every cb-map $v : \K \to OH$ is $(q,cb)$-summing
for any $q>2$ and hence admits a factorization $\|v(x)\| \leq c(q)
\|v\|_{cb} \|axb\|_q$ with $a,b$ in the unit ball of the Schatten
class $S_{2q}$.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Mikael de la Salle

This is an announcement for the paper "Equimeasurabily and isometries
in noncommutative Lp-spaces" by Mikael de la Salle.


Abstract: We prove some noncommutative analogues of a theorem by
Rudin and Plotkin about equimeasurability and isometries in L_p-spaces.
Let 0<p<\infty, p not an even integer. The main result of this paper
states that in the category of unital subspaces of noncommutative
probability Lp-spaces, the unital completely isometric maps come
from *-isomorphisms of the underlying von Neumann algebras.
Unfortunately we are only able to treat the case of bounded operators.

This is an announcement for the paper "On strict inclusions in
hierarchies of convex bodies" by V.Yaskin.


Abstract: Let $\mathcal I_k$ be the class of convex $k$-intersection
bodies in $\mathbb{R}^n$ (in the sense of Koldobsky) and $\mathcal
I_k^m$ be the class of convex origin-symmetric bodies all of whose
$m$-dimensional central sections are $k$-intersection bodies. We
show that 1) $\mathcal I_k^m\not\subset \mathcal I_k^{m+1}$, $k+3\le
m<n$, and 2) $\mathcal I_l \not\subset \mathcal I_k$, $1\le k<l <
n-3$.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by T s s R K Rao
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "Nice surjections on spaces
of operators" by T s s R K Rao.


Abstract: A bounded linear operator is said to be nice if its adjoint
preserves extreme points of the dual unit ball. Motivated by a
description due to Labuschagne and Mascioni \cite{LM} of such maps
for the space of compact operators on a Hilbert space, in this
article we consider a description of nice surjections on ${\mathcal
K}(X,Y)$ for Banach spaces $X,Y$. We give necessary and sufficient
conditions when nice surjections are given by composition operators.
Our results imply automatic continuity of these maps with respect
to other topologies on spaces of operators. We also formulate the
corresponding result for ${\mathcal L}(X,Y)$ thereby proving an
analogue of the result from \cite{LM} for $L^p$ ($1 <p \neq 2
<\infty$) spaces. We also formulate results when nice operators are
not of the canonical form, extending and correcting the results
from \cite{KS}.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Konrad J Swanepoel
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "Extremal problems in Minkowski
space related to minimal networks" by Konrad J Swanepoel.


Abstract: We solve the following problem of Z. F\"uredi, J. C.
Lagarias and F. Morgan [FLM]: Is there an upper bound polynomial
in $n$ for the largest cardinality of a set S of unit vectors in
an n-dimensional Minkowski space (or Banach space) such that the
sum of any subset has norm less than 1? We prove that |S|\leq 2n
and that equality holds iff the space is linearly isometric to
\ell^n_\infty, the space with an n-cube as unit ball. We also remark
on similar questions raised in [FLM] that arose out of the study
of singularities in length-minimizing networks in Minkowski spaces.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Junsheng Fang, Don Hadwin, Eric Nordgren, and Junhao Shen
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "Tracial gauge norms on finite
von Neumann algebras satisfying the weak Dixmier property" by
Junsheng Fang, Don Hadwin, Eric Nordgren, and Junhao Shen.


Abstract: In this paper we set up a representation theorem for
tracial gauge norms on finite von Neumann algebras satisfying the
weak Dixmier property in terms of Ky Fan norms. Examples of tracial
gauge norms on finite von Neumann algebras satisfying the weak
Dixmier property include unitarily invariant norms on finite factors
(type ${\rm II}\sb 1$ factors and $M_n(\cc)$) and symmetric gauge
norms on $L^\infty[0,1]$ and $\cc^n$. As the first application, we
obtain that the class of unitarily invariant norms on a type ${\rm
II}\sb 1$ factor coincides with the class of symmetric gauge norms
on $L^\infty[0,1]$ and von Neumann's classical result~\cite{vN} on
unitarily invariant norms on $M_n(\cc)$. As the second application,
Ky Fan's dominance theorem~\cite{Fan} is obtained for finite von
Neumann algebras satisfying the weak Dixmier property.  As the third
application, some classical results in non-commutative $L^p$-theory
(e.g., non-commutative H$\ddot{\text{o}}$lder's inequality, duality
and reflexivity of non-commutative $L^p$-spaces) are obtained for
general unitarily invariant norms on finite factors. We also
investigate the extreme points of $\NN(\M)$, the convex compact set
(in the pointwise weak topology) of normalized unitarily invariant
norms (the norm of the identity operator is 1) on a finite factor
$\M$. We obtain all extreme points of $\NN(M_2(\cc))$ and many
extreme points of $\NN(M_n(\cc))$ ($n\geq 3$). For a type ${\rm
II}\sb 1$ factor $\M$, we prove that if $t$ ($0\leq t\leq 1$) is a
rational number then the Ky Fan $t$-th norm is an extreme point of
$\NN(\M)$.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by M. A. Lopez and S. Reisner
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "A note on curves equipartition"
by M. A. Lopez and S. Reisner.


Abstract: The problem of the existence of an equi-partition of a
curve in $\R^n$ has recently been raised in the context of computational
geometry. The problem is to show that for a (continuous) curve
$\Gamma : [0,1] \to \R^n$ and for any positive integer $N$, there
exist points $t_0=0<t_1<...<t_{N-1}<1=t_N$, such that
$d(\Gamma(t_{i-1}),\Gamma(t_i))=d(\Gamma(t_{i}),\Gamma(t_{i+1}))$
for all $i=1,...,N$, where $d$ is a metric or even a semi-metric
(a weaker notion) on $\R^n$. We show here that the existence of
such points, in a much broader context, is a consequence of Brower's
fixed point theorem.

Abstract: We characterize Banach spaces with polynomial numerical
index 1 when they have the Radon-Nikod\'ym property. The holomorphic
numerical index is introduced and the characterization of the Banach
space with holomorphic numerical index 1 is obtained when it has
the Radon-Nikod\'ym property.

Abstract: We show that the symmetric injective tensor product space
$\hat{\otimes}_{n,s,\varepsilon}E$ is not complex strictly convex
if $E$ is a complex Banach space of $\dim E \ge 2$ and if $n\ge 2$
holds. It is also reproved that $\ell_\infty$ is finitely represented
in $\hat{\otimes}_{n,s,\varepsilon}E$ if $E$ is infinite dimensional
and if $n\ge 2$ holds, which was proved in the other way by Dineen.

Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "Multiplication operators on
$L(L_p)$ and $\ell_p$-strictly singular operators" by William B.
Johnson and Gideon Schechtman.


Abstract: A classification of weakly compact multiplication operators
on $L(L_p)$, $1<p<\infty$, is given. This answers a question raised
by Saksman and Tylli in 1992. The classification involves the concept
of $\ell_p$-strictly singular operators, and we also investigate
the structure of general $\ell_p$-strictly singular operators on
$L_p$. The main result is that if an operator $T$ on $L_p$, $1<p<2$,
is $\ell_p$-strictly singular and $T_{|X}$ is an isomorphism for
some subspace $X$ of $L_p$, then $X$ embeds into $L_r$ for all
$r<2$, but $X$ need not be isomorphic to a Hilbert space.
  It is also shown that if $T $ is convolution by a biased coin on
$L_p$ of the Cantor group, $1\le p <2$, and $T_{|X}$ is an isomorphism for some
reflexive subspace $X$ of $L_p$, then $X$ is isomorphic to a Hilbert
space. The case $p=1$ answers a question asked by Rosenthal in 1976.

This is an announcement for the paper "Embeddings of discrete groups
and the speed of random walks" by Assaf Naor and Yuval Peres.


Abstract: For a finitely generated group G and a banach space X let
\alpha^*_X(G) (respectively \alpha^#_X(G)) be the supremum over all
\alpha\ge 0 such that there exists a Lipschitz mapping (respectively
an equivariant mapping) f:G\to X and c>0 such that for all x,y\in
G we have \|f(x)-f(y)\|\ge c\cdot d_G(x,y)^\alpha. In particular,
the Hilbert compression exponent (respectively the equivariant
Hilbert compression exponent) of G is \alpha^*(G)=\alpha^*_{L_2}(G)
(respectively \alpha^#(G)= \alpha_{L_2}^#(G)). We show that if X
has modulus of smoothness of power type p, then \alpha^#_X(G)\le
\frac{1}{p\beta^*(G)}. Here \beta^*(G) is the largest \beta\ge 0
for which there exists a set of generators S of G and c>0 such that
for all t\in \N we have \E\big[d_G(W_t,e)\big]\ge ct^\beta, where
\{W_t\}_{t=0}^\infty is the canonical simple random walk on the
Cayley graph of G determined by S, starting at the identity element.
This result is sharp when X=L_p, generalizes a theorem of Guentner
and Kaminker and answers a question posed by Tessera. We also show
that if \alpha^*(G)\ge 1/2 then \alpha^*(G\bwr \Z)\ge
\frac{2\alpha^*(G)}{2\alpha^*(G)+1}. This improves the previous
bound due to Stalder and ValetteWe deduce that if we write \Z_{(1)}=
\Z and \Z_{(k+1)}\coloneqq \Z_{(k)}\bwr \Z then
\alpha^*(\Z_{(k)})=\frac{1}{2-2^{1-k}}, and use this result to
answer a question posed by Tessera in on the relation between the
Hilbert compression exponent and the isoperimetric profile of the
balls in G. We also show that the cyclic lamplighter groups C_2\bwr
C_n embed into L_1 with uniformly bounded distortion, answering a
question posed by Lee, Naor and Peres. Finally, we use these results
to show that edge Markov type need not imply Enflo type.

This is an announcement for the paper "Pointwise estimates for
marginals of convex bodies" by Ronen Eldan and Boaz Klartag.


Abstract: We prove a pointwise version of the multi-dimensional
central limit theorem for convex bodies. Namely, let X be an isotropic
random vector in R^n with a log-concave density. For a typical
subspace E in R^n of dimension n^c, consider the probability density
of the projection of X onto E. We show that the ratio between this
probability density and the standard gaussian density in E is very
close to 1 in large parts of E. Here c > 0 is a universal constant.
This complements a recent result by the second named author, where
the total-variation metric between the densities was considered.

This is an announcement for the paper "The geometry of Minkowski
spaces --- a survey. Part I" by Horst Martini, Konrad J Swanepoel
and Gunter Weiss.


Abstract: We survey elementary results in Minkowski spaces (i.e.
finite dimensional Banach spaces) that deserve to be collected
together, and give simple proofs for some of them. We place special
emphasis on planar results. Many of these results have often been
rediscovered as lemmas to other results. In Part I we cover the
following topics: The triangle inequality and consequences such as
the monotonicity lemma, geometric characterizations of strict
convexity, normality (Birkhoff orthogonality), conjugate diameters
and Radon curves, equilateral triangles and the affine regular
hexagon construction, equilateral sets, circles: intersection,
circumscribed, characterizations, circumference and area, inscribed
equilateral polygons.

spreading models" by Denny H. Leung and Wee-Kee Tang.


Abstract: Given a Banach space X, denote by SP_{w}(X) the set of
equivalence classes of spreading models of X generated by normalized
weakly null sequences in X. It is known that SP_{w}(X) is a
semilattice, i.e., it is a partially ordered set in which every
pair of elements has a least upper bound. We show that every countable
semilattice that does not contain an infinite increasing sequence
is order isomorphic to SP_{w}(X) for some separable Banach space
X.

This is an announcement for the paper "A remark on hypercontractive
semigroups and operator ideals" by Gilles Pisier.


Abstract: In this note, we answer a question raised by Johnson and
Schechtman \cite{JS}, about the hypercontractive semigroup on
$\{-1,1\}^{\NN}$. More generally, we prove the folllowing theorem.
Let $1<p<2$. Let $(T(t))_{t>0}$ be a holomorphic semigroup on $L_p$
(relative to a probability space). Assume the following mild form
of hypercontractivity: for some large enough number $s>0$, $T(s)$
is bounded from $L_p$ to $L_2$. Then for any $t>0$, $T(t)$ is in
the norm closure in $B(L_p)$ (denoted by $\overline{\Gamma_2}$) of
the subset (denoted by ${\Gamma_2}$) formed by the operators mapping
$L_p$ to $L_2$ (a fortiori these operators factor through a Hilbert
space).

Abstract: We answer a question of Aharoni by showing that every

this result is sharp; this improves earlier estimates of Aharoni,
Assouad and Pelant. We use our methods to examine the best constant
for Lipschitz embeddings of the classical $\ell_p-$spaces into $c_0$
and give other applications. We prove that if a Banach space embeds
almost isometrically into $c_0$, then it embeds linearly almost
isometrically into $c_0$. We also study Lipschitz embeddings into
$c_0^+$.

Abstract: We study the relations between boundaries for algebras

algebras of holomorphic functions on an order continuous sequence

particular, it is shown that the unit sphere of the Orlicz-Lorentz
sequence space $\lambda_{\varphi, w}$ is the Shilov boundary for
algebras of holomorphic functions on $\lambda_{\varphi, w}$ if
$\varphi$ satisfies the $\delta_2$-condition.

Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "Bishop's theorem and
differentiability of a subspace of $C_b(K)$" by Yun Sung Choi, Han
Ju Lee, and Hyun Gwi Song.


Abstract: Let $K$ be a Hausdorff space and $C_b(K)$ be the Banach
algebra of all complex bounded continuous functions on $K$. We study
the G\^{a}teaux and Fr\'echet differentiability of subspaces of
$C_b(K)$. Using this, we show that the set of all strong peak
functions in a nontrivial separating separable subspace $H$ of
$C_b(K)$ is a dense $G_\delta$ subset of $H$, if $K$ is compact.
This gives a generalized Bishop's theorem, which says that the
closure of the set of strong peak point for $H$ is the smallest
closed norming subset of $H$. The classical Bishop's theorem was
proved for a separating subalgebra $H$ and a metrizable compact
space $K$.
  In the case that $X$ is a complex Banach space with the Radon-Nikod\'ym
property, we show that the set of all strong peak functions in
$A_b(B_X)=\{ f\in C_b(B_X) : f|_{B_X^\circ} \mbox{ is holomorphic}\}$
is dense. As an application, we show that the smallest closed norming
subset of $A_b(B_X)$ is the closure of the set of all strong peak
points for $A_b(B_X)$. This implies that the norm of $A_b(B_X)$ is
G\^{a}teaux differentiable on a dense subset of $A_b(B_X)$, even
though the norm is nowhere Fr\'echet differentiable when $X$ is
nontrivial. We also study the denseness of norm attaining holomorphic
functions and polynomials. Finally we investigate the existence of
numerical Shilov boundary.

This is an announcement for the paper "Counterexamples for the
convexity of certain matricial inequalities" by Marius Junge and
Quanhua Xu.


Abstract: In \cite{CL} Carlen and Lieb considered Minkowski type
inequalities in the context of operators on a Hilbert space. More
precisely, they considered the homogenous expression
  \[ f_{pq}(x_1,...,x_n) \lel \big(tr\big((\sum_{k=1}^n
  x_k^q)^{p/q}\big)\big)^{1/p} \pl \] defined for positive matrices.
  The concavity for $q=1$ and $p<1$ yields
strong subadditivity for quantum entropy. We discuss the convexity
of $f_{pq}$ and show that, contrary to the commutative case, there
exists a $q_0>1$ such that $f_{1q}$ is not convex for all $1<q<q_0$.
This is achieved by constructing a family of interesting channels
on $2\times 2$ matrices.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the linear independence
of spikes and sines" by Joel A. Tropp.


Abstract: The purpose of this work is to survey what is known about
the linear independence of spikes and sines. The paper provides new
results for the case where the locations of the spikes and the
frequencies of the sines are chosen at random. This problem is
equivalent to studying the spectral norm of a random submatrix drawn
from the discrete Fourier transform matrix. The proof involves
methods from geometric functional analysis.

Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "Sharp constants related to
the triangle inequality in Lorentz spaces" by Sorina Barza, Viktor
Kolyada, and Javier Soria.


Abstract: We study the Lorentz spaces $L^{p,s}(R,\mu)$ in the range
$1<p<s\le \infty$, for which the standard functional $$
||f||_{p,s}=\left(\int_0^\infty (t^{1/p}f^*(t))^s\frac{dt}{t}\right)^{1/s}
$$ is only a quasi-norm. We find the optimal constant in the
triangle inequality
for this quasi-norm, which leads us to consider the following
decomposition norm:
$$ ||f||_{(p,s)}=\inf\bigg\{\sum_{k}||f_k||_{p,s}\bigg\}, $$ where
the infimum is taken over all finite representations $f=\sum_{k}f_k.
$ We also prove that the decomposition norm and the dual norm $$
||f||_{p,s}'= \sup\left\{ \int_R fg\,d\mu: ||g||_{p',s'}=1\right\}
$$ agree for all values $p,s>1$.

This is an announcement for the paper "The extremal volume ellipsoids
of convex bodies, their symmetry   properties, and their determination
in some special cases" by Osman Gueler and Filiz Guertuna.


Abstract: A convex body K has associated with it a unique circumscribed
ellipsoid CE(K) with minimum volume, and a unique inscribed ellipsoid
IE(K) with maximum volume. We first give a unified, modern exposition
of the basic theory of these extremal ellipsoids using the semi-infinite
programming approach pioneered by Fritz John in his seminal 1948
paper. We then investigate the automorphism groups of convex bodies
and their extremal ellipsoids. We show that if the automorphism
group of a convex body K is large enough, then it is possible to
determine the extremal ellipsoids CE(K) and IE(K) exactly, using
either semi-infinite programming or nonlinear programming. As
examples, we compute the extremal ellipsoids when the convex body
K is the part of a given ellipsoid between two parallel hyperplanes,
and when K is a truncated second order cone or an ellipsoidal
cylinder.

This is an announcement for the paper "Conical square functions in
UMD Banach spaces" by Tuomas Hytonen, Jan van Neerven, and Pierre
Portal.


Abstract: We study conical square function estimates for Banach-valued
functions, and introduce a vector-valued analogue of the
Coifman-Meyer-Stein tent spaces.  Following recent work of
Auscher-McIntosh-Russ, the tent spaces in turn are used to construct
a scale of vector-valued Hardy spaces associated with a given
bisectorial operator \(A\) with certain off-diagonal bounds, such
that \(A\) always has a bounded \(H^{\infty}\)-functional calculus
on these spaces. This provides a new way of proving functional
calculus of \(A\) on the Bochner spaces \(L^p(\R^n;X)\) by checking
appropriate conical square function estimates, and also a conical
analogue of Bourgain's extension of the Littlewood-Paley theory to
the UMD-valued context. Even when \(X=\C\), our approach gives
refined \(p\)-dependent versions of known results.

This is an announcement for the paper "Some classes of rational
functions and related Banach spaces" by R. M. Dudley, Sergiy Sidenko,
Zuoqin Wang, and Fangyun Yang.


Abstract: For positive integers d, r, and M, we consider the class
of rational functions on real d-dimensional space whose denominators
are products of at most r functions of the form 1+Q(x) where each
Q is a quadratic form with eigenvalues bounded above by M and below
by 1/M. Each numerator is a monic monomial of the same degree as
the corresponding denominator. Then we form the Banach space of
countable linear combinations of such rational functions with
absolutely summable coefficients, normed by the infimum of sums of
absolute values of the coefficients. We show that for rational
functions whose denominators are rth powers of a specific 1+Q, or
differences of two such rational functions with the same numerator,
the norm is achieved by and only by the obvious combination of one
or two functions respectively. We also find bounds for coefficients
in partial-fraction decompositions of some specific rational
functions, which in some cases are quite sharp.

Dear Friends,

  In October  27-28, 2007 (Saturday-Sunday), the Department of 
Mathematical Science at Kent State University will run the famous but 
still very informal

   INFORMAL ANALYSIS SEMINAR

   The plan for now is to start in the morning of  Saturday October 27 
and finish  around 3-4pm Sunday October 28  (this time it was decided
  to  not have   a break for  Saturday night, it will save us and you 
some hotel money  :)   ). The list of speakers will  include

     * Keith Ball  (University College London).
     * Alexandre Eremenko (Purdue University).
     * William B. Johnson  (Texas A&M University).
     * Fedor Nazarov (University of Wisconsin-Madison).
     * Andreas Seeger (University of Wisconsin-Madison).
     * Thomas Schlumprecht(Texas A&M University).
     * Vladimir Temlyakov (University of South Carolina)

   It would be great if you could visit Kent State and participate in the
   seminar! May we ask you to respond as soon as possible, so that we can
   gauge the need for housing, lecture room(s), etc.

Please, check

  http://www.math.kent.edu/math/Informal-Analysis-Seminar-2007.cfm

  for more information.

  The Seminar is supported by the Department of Mathematical Sciences and
  NSF Focused Research Group: Fourier analytic and probabilistic methods
in geometric functional analysis and convexity.  Minorities, women,
  graduate students, and young researchers are especially encouraged to
  attend.

   Best Regards,

   Analysis group at Kent State!

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Gitta Kutyniok, Ali Pezeshki, Robert Calderbank, and Taotao Liu
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "Robust dimension reduction,
fusion frames, and Grassmannian packings" by Gitta Kutyniok, Ali
Pezeshki, Robert Calderbank, and Taotao Liu.


Abstract: We consider estimating a random vector from its noisy
projections onto low dimensional subspaces constituting a fusion
frame. A fusion frame is a collection of subspaces, for which the
sum of the projection operators onto the subspaces is bounded below
and above by constant multiples of the identity operator. We first
determine the minimum mean-squared error (MSE) in linearly estimating
the random vector of interest from its fusion frame projections,
in the presence of white noise. We show that MSE assumes its minimum
value when the fusion frame is tight. We then analyze the robustness
of the constructed linear minimum MSE (LMMSE) estimator to erasures
of the fusion frame subspaces.  We prove that tight fusion frames
consisting of equi-dimensional subspaces have maximum robustness
(in the MSE sense) with respect to erasures of one subspace, and
that the optimal subspace dimension depends on signal-to-noise ratio
(SNR).  We also prove that tight fusion frames consisting of
equi-dimensional subspaces with equal pairwise chordal distances
are most robust with respect to two and more subspace erasures. We
call such fusion frames equi-distance tight fusion frames, and prove
that the chordal distance between subspaces in such fusion frames
meets the so-called simplex bound, and thereby establish connections
between equi-distance tight fusion frames and optimal Grassmannian
packings.  Finally, we present several examples for construction
of equi-distance tight fusion frames.

The exceptional cases" by Chang-Pao Chen, Chun-Yen Shen, and Kuo-Zhong

Abstract: Let $A=(a_{j,k})_{j,k \ge 1}$ be a non-negative matrix.
In this paper, we characterize those $A$ for which $\|A\|_{\ell_p,\ell_q}$
are determined by their actions on non-negative decreasing sequences,
where one of $p$ and $q$ is 1 or $\infty$. The conditions forcing
on $A$ are sufficient and they are also necessary for non-negative
finite matrices.

This is an announcement for the paper "How can we recover Baire
class one functions?" by Dominique Lecomte.


Abstract: Let X and Y be separable metrizable spaces, and f:X-->Y
be a function. We want to recover f from its values on a small set
via a simple algorithm. We show that this is possible if f is Baire
class one, and in fact we get a characterization. This leads us to
the study of sets of Baire class one functions and to a characterization
of the separability of the dual space of an arbitrary Banach space.

Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "Geometry of sets of quantum
maps: a generic positive map acting on a   high-dimensional system
is not completely positive" by Stanislaw J. Szarek, Elisabeth Werner
and Karol Zyczkowski.


Abstract: We investigate the set a) of positive, trace preserving
maps acting on density matrices of size N, and a sequence of its
nested subsets: the sets of maps which are b) decomposable, c)
completely positive, d) extended by identity impose positive partial
transpose and e) are superpositive. Working with the Hilbert-Schmidt
(Euclidean) measure we derive tight explicit two-sided bounds for
the volumes of all five sets. A sample consequence is the fact that,
as N increases, a generic positive map becomes not decomposable
and, a fortiori, not completely positive.
  Due to the Jamiolkowski isomorphism, the results obtained for
quantum maps are closely connected to similar relations between the volume of
the set of quantum states and the volumes of its subsets (such as
states with positive partial transpose or separable states) or
supersets. Our approach depends on systematic use of duality to
derive quantitative estimates, and on various tools of classical
convexity, high-dimensional probability and geometry of Banach
spaces, some of which are not standard.

This is an announcement for the paper "Characterizing arbitrarily
slow convergence in the method of alternating   projections" by
H.H. Bauschke, F. Deutsch and H. Hundal.


Abstract: In 1997, Bauschke, Borwein, and Lewis have stated a
trichotomy theorem that characterizes when the convergence of the
method of alternating projections can be arbitrarily slow. However,
there are two errors in their proof of this theorem. In this note,
we show that although one of the errors is critical, the theorem
itself is correct. We give a different proof that uses the
multiplicative form of the spectral theorem, and the theorem holds
in any real or complex Hilbert space, not just in a real Hilbert
space.

Abstract: We introduce a linearly ordered set Z and use it to prove
a necessity condition for the existence of a G\^ateaux smooth norm
on C(T), where T is a tree. This criterion is directly analogous
to the corresponding equivalent condition for Fr\'echet smooth
norms. In addition, we prove that if C(T) admits a G\^ateaux smooth
lattice norm then it also admits a lattice norm with strictly convex
dual norm.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Richard J. Smith

This is an announcement for the paper "Gruenhage compacta and
strictly convex dual norms" by Richard J. Smith.


Abstract: We prove that if K is a Gruenhage compact space then C(K)*
admits an equivalent, strictly convex dual norm. As a corollary,
we show that if X is a Banach space and X* is the |.|-closed linear
span of K, where K is a Gruenhage compact in the w*-topology and
|.| is equivalent to a coarser, w*-lower semicontinuous norm on X*,
then X* admits an equivalent, strictly convex dual norm. We give a
partial converse to the first result by showing that if T is a tree,
then C(T)* admits an equivalent, strictly convex dual norm if and
only if T is a Gruenhage space. Finally, we present some stability
properties satisfied by Gruenhage spaces; in particular, Gruenhage
spaces are stable under perfect images.

This is an announcement for the paper "On an extension of the
Blaschke-Santalo inequality" by David Alonso-Gutierrez.


Abstract: Let $K$ be a convex body and $K^\circ$ its polar body.
Call $\phi(K)=\frac{1}{|K||K^\circ|}\int_K\int_{K^\circ}\langle
x,y\rangle^2 dxdy$.  It is conjectured that $\phi(K)$ is maximum
when $K$ is the euclidean ball. In particular this statement implies
the Blaschke-Santalo inequality. We verify this conjecture when $K$
is restricted to be a $p$--ball.

This is an announcement for the paper "Finite dimensional subspaces
of noncommutative $L_p$ spaces" by Hun Hee Lee.


Abstract: We prove the following noncommutative version of Lewis's
classical result.  Every n-dimensional subspace E of Lp(M) (1<p<\infty)
for a von Neumann algebra M satisfies d_{cb}(E, RC^n_{p'}) \leq c_p
n^{\abs{1/2-1/p}} for some constant c_p depending only on $p$, where
$1/p +1/p' =1$ and $RC^n_{p'} = [R_n\cap C_n, R_n+C_n]_{1/p'}$.
Moreover, there is a projection $P:Lp(M) --> Lp(M)$ onto E with
$\norm{P}_{cb} \leq c_p n^{\abs{1/2-1/p}}.$ We follow the classical
change of density argument with appropriate noncommutative variations
in addition to the opposite trick.

Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "Banach spaces without minimal
subspaces" by Valentin Ferenczi and Christian Rosendal.


Abstract: We prove three new dichotomies for Banach spaces \`a la
W. T. Gowers' dichotomies. The three dichotomies characterise
respectively the spaces having no minimal subspaces, having no
subsequentially minimal basic sequences, and having no subspaces
crudely finitely representable in all of their subspaces.  We
subsequently use these results to make progress on the program of
Gowers of classifying Banach spaces by finding characteristic spaces
present in every space. Also, the results are used to embed any
partial order of size $\aleph_1$ into the subspaces of any space
without a minimal subspace ordered by isomorphic embeddability.
Finally, we analyse several examples of spaces and classify them
according to which side of the dichotomies they fall.

Biorthogonal Systems in Banach Spaces
Springer
Series: CMS Books in Mathematics
Authors: Hajek, P., Montesinos Santalucia, V., Vanderwerff, J., Zizler, V.
ISBN: 978-0-387-68914-2
                                                                                
                                                                                
The main theme of this book is the relation between the global structure
of Banach spaces and the various types of generalized "coordinate
systems" - or "bases" - they possess.  This subject is not new and has
been investigated since the inception of the study of Banach spaces.  In
this book, the authors systematically investigate the concepts of
Markushevich bases, fundamental systems, total systems and their
variants. The material naturally splits into the case of separable
Banach spaces, as is treated in the first two chapters, and the
nonseparable case, which is covered in the remainder of the book.  This
book contains new results, and a substantial portion of this material
has never before appeared in book form.  The book will be of interest to
both researchers and graduate students.
 
Topics covered in this book include:
 
- Biorthogonal Systems in Separable Banach Spaces
- Universality and Szlenk Index
- Weak Topologies and Renormings
- Biorthogonal Systems in Nonseparable Spaces
- Transfinite Sequence Spaces
- Applications
 
Petr Hajek is Professor of Mathematics at the Mathematical Institute of
the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.  Vicente Montesinos is
Professor of Mathematics at the Polytechnic University of
Valencia, Spain.  Jon Vanderwerff is Professor of Mathematics at La

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Uffe Haagerup and Magdalena Musat
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "The Effros-Ruan conjecture
for bilinear forms on C$^*$-algebras" by Uffe Haagerup and Magdalena
Musat.


Abstract: In 1991 Effros and Ruan conjectured that a certain
Grothendieck-type inequality for a bilinear form on C$^*$-algebras
holds if (and only if) the bilinear form is jointly completely
bounded. In 2002 Pisier and Shlyakhtenko proved that this inequality
holds in the more general setting of operator spaces, provided that
the operator spaces in question are exact. Moreover, they proved
that the conjecture of Effros and Ruan holds for pairs of C$^*$-algebras,
of which at least one is exact. In this paper we prove that the
Effros-Ruan conjecture holds for general C$^*$-algebras, with
constant one.  More precisely, we show that for every jointly
completely bounded (for short, j.c.b.) bilinear form on a pair of
C$^*$-algebras $A$ and $B$\,, there exist states $f_1$\,, $f_2$ on
$A$ and $g_1$\,, $g_2$ on $B$ such that for all $a\in A$ and $b\in
B$\,, \begin{equation*} |u(a, b)|\leq
\|u\|_{jcb}(f_1(aa^*)^{1/2}g_1(b^*b)^{1/2}+f_2(a^*a)^{1/2}g_2(bb^*)^{1/2})\,.
\end{equation*} While the approach by Pisier and Shlyakhtenko relies
on free probability techniques, our proof uses more classical
operator algebra theory, namely, Tomita-Takesaki theory and special
properties of the Powers factors of type III$_\lambda$\,, $0<
\lambda< 1$\,.

Th.Schlumprecht, and Andras  Zsak.


Abstract: Let $(e_i)$ be a fundamental system of a Banach space.
  We consider the problem of approximating linear combinations of
  elements of this system by linear combinations using quantized
  coefficients. We will concentrate on systems which are possibly
  redundant. Our model for this situation will be frames in Banach
  spaces.

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to participate in the summer  school on
"Fourier analytic and probabilistic methods in geometric functional
analysis and convexity" in August 13-20, 2008.

The school is being organized by the NSF funded Focused Research Group 
collaborative project on the same subject 
(http://www.math.ucdavis.edu/~geofunction/). It is oriented towards 
graduate students, postdocs and researchers who wish to get an 
introduction to the subject.   The school  will feature several series's 
of lectures.  Confirmed speakers include

   Alexander Barvinok (University of Michigan),
   Piotr Indyk (Massachusetts Institute of Technology),
   Fedor Nazarov (University of Wisconsin-Madison),
   Krzysztof Oleszkiewicz (University of Warsaw),
   Rolf Schneider (University of Freiburg),
   Santosh S. Vempala (Georgia Institute of Technology).

The school will be hosted by the Department of Mathematical Sciences at
Kent State University in August 13-20, 2008. Kent is located in the
  suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio, where summers are quite beautiful. We plan
  to spend one of the evenings at the nearby Blossom Music Center, the 
summer home of the renowned Cleveland Orchestra.

With NSF funding we will be able to cover local,  and, probably, travel 
expenses for a limited number of participants, so we ask you to reply as 
soon as possible to Dmitry Ryabogin (ryabogin at math.kent.edu) or Artem 
Zvavitch (zvavitch at math.kent.edu).  Graduate students and Postdoctoral 
fellows are especially encouraged to apply.

For further information and breaking news, please, consult

   http://www.math.kent.edu/math/FAPR.cfm

Again, please note that your early response will help us gauge the needs 
for housing, lecture room(s), etc. We hope to be sending out information 
regarding housing by the end of December.


We hope to see you in Kent next August.


Best Regards,

  The organizing committee

   Alex Koldobsky
   Mark Rudelson
   Dmitry Ryabogin
   Stanislaw Szarek
   Roman Vershynin

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Jarno Talponen
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "Convex-transitivity and
function spaces" by Jarno Talponen.


Abstract: It is shown that the Bochner space L^{p}([0,1],X) is
convex-transitive for any convex-transitive X and 1\leq p\leq \infty.
If H is an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space and C_{0}(L) is
convex-transitive, then C_{0}(L,H) is convex-transitive. Some new
fairly concrete examples of convex-transitive spaces are provided.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by R.Haydon, E.Odell, Th.Schlumprecht
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "Small subspaces of L_p" by
R.Haydon, E.Odell, Th.Schlumprecht.


Abstract: We prove that if $X$ is a subspace of $L_p$ $(2<p<\infty)$
then either $X$ embeds isomorphically into $\ell_p \oplus \ell_2$
or $X$ contains a subspace $Y$, which is isomorphic to $\ell_p(\ell_2)$.
We also give an intrinsic characterization of when $X$ embeds into
$\ell_p \oplus \ell_2$ in terms of weakly null trees in $X$ or
equivalently in terms of the ``infinite asymptotic game'' played
in $X$. This solves problems concerning small subspaces of $L_p$
originating in the 1970's. The techniques used were developed over
several decades, the most recent being that of weakly null trees
developed in the 2000's.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by J. G. Christensen and G. Olafsson
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "Coorbit spaces for dual
pairs" by J. G. Christensen and G. Olafsson.


Abstract: This paper contains a generalization of the coorbit space
theory initiated in the 1980's by H.G. Feichtinger and K.H. Groechenig.
This theory has been a powerful tool in characterizing Banach spaces
of functions with the use of integrable representations of locally
compact groups. Examples are a wavelet characterization of the Besov
spaces and a characterization of some Bergman spaces by the discrete
series representation of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{R})$. We suggest a
generalization of the coorbit space theory, which is able to account
for a wider range of Banach spaces and also for quasi Banach spaces.
A few examples of Banach spaces which could not be covered by the
previous theory are described.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Yuri I. Lyubich
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "Upper bound for isometric
embeddings \ell_2^m\to\ell_p^n" by Yuri I. Lyubich.


Abstract: The isometric embeddings $\ell_{2;K}^m\to\ell_{p;K}^n$
($m\geq 2$, $p\in 2\N$) over a field $K\in{R, C, H}$ are considered,
and an upper bound for the minimal $n$ is proved. In the commutative
case ($K\neq H$) the bound was obtained by Delbaen, Jarchow and
Pe{\l}czy{\'n}ski (1998) in a different way.
