This is an announcement for the paper "Weighted composition operators as Daugavet centers" by Romain Demazeux. Abstract: We investigate the norm identity $\|uC_\varphi + T\| = \|u\|_\infty + \|T\|$ for classes of operators on $C(S)$, where $S$ is a compact Hausdorff space without isolated point, and characterize those weighted composition operators which satisfy this equation for every weakly compact operator $T : C(S)\to C(S)$. We also give a characterization of such weighted composition operator acting on the disk algebra $A(D).$ Archive classification: math.FA Mathematics Subject Classification: 47B33, 47B38,46E15 Remarks: 18 pages The source file(s), Weighted_composition_operators_as_Daugavet_centers.tex: 57655 bytes, is(are) stored in gzipped form as 0912.4032.gz with size 15kb.

This is an announcement for the paper "Restricted eigenvalue conditions on subgaussian random matrices" by Shuheng Zhou. Abstract: It is natural to ask: what kinds of matrices satisfy the Restricted Eigenvalue (RE) condition? In this paper, we associate the RE condition (Bickel-Ritov-Tsybakov 09) with the complexity of a subset of the sphere in $\R^p$, where $p$ is the dimensionality of the data, and show that a class of random matrices with independent rows, but not necessarily independent columns, satisfy the RE condition, when the sample size is above a certain lower bound. Here we explicitly introduce an additional covariance structure to the class of random matrices that we have known by now that satisfy the Restricted Isometry Property as defined in Candes and Tao 05 (and hence the RE condition), in order to compose a broader class of random matrices for which the RE condition holds. In this case, tools from geometric functional analysis in characterizing the intrinsic low-dimensional structures associated with the RE condition has been crucial in analyzing the sample complexity and understanding its statistical implications for high dimensional data.

This is an announcement for the paper "Some new thin sets of integers in Harmonic Analysis" by Daniel Li, Herve Queffelec, Luis Rodriguez-Piazza. Abstract: We randomly construct various subsets $\Lambda$ of the integers which have both smallness and largeness properties. They are small since they are very close, in various meanings, to Sidon sets: the continuous functions with spectrum in $\Lambda$ have uniformly convergent series, and their Fourier coefficients are in $\ell_p$ for all $p>1$; moreover, all the Lebesgue spaces $L^q_\Lambda$ are equal for $q<+\infty$. On the other hand, they are large in the sense that they are dense in the Bohr group and that the space of the bounded functions with spectrum in $\Lambda$ is non separable. So these sets are very different from the thin sets of integers previously known.

This is an announcement for the paper "A coanalytic rank on super-ergodic operators" by Mohammed Yahdi. Abstract: Techniques from Descriptive Set Theory are applied in order to study the Topological Complexity of families of operators naturally connected to ergodic operators in infinite dimensional Banach Spaces. The families of ergodic, uniform-ergodic,Cesaro-bounded and power-bounded operators are shown to be Borel sets, while the family of super-ergodic operators is shown to be either coanalytic or Borel according to specific structures of the Space. Moreover, trees and coanalytic ranks are introduced to characterize super-ergodic operators as well as spaces where the above classes of operators do not coincide.

This is an announcement for the paper "A new metric invariant for Banach spaces" by F. Baudier, N. J. Kalton, and G. Lancien. Abstract: We show that if the Szlenk index of a Banach space $X$ is larger than the first infinite ordinal $\omega$ or if the Szlenk index of its dual is larger than $\omega$, then the tree of all finite sequences of integers equipped with the hyperbolic distance metrically embeds into $X$. We show that the converse is true when $X$ is assumed to be reflexive. As an application, we exhibit new classes of Banach spaces that are stable under coarse-Lipschitz embeddings and therefore under uniform homeomorphisms.

This is an announcement for the paper "A simple construction of almost-Euclidean subspaces of $\ell_1^N$ via tensor products" by Piotr Indyk and Stanislaw Szarek. Abstract: It has been known since 1970's that the N-dimensional $\ell_1$-space contains nearly Euclidean subspaces whose dimension is $\Omega(N)$. However, proofs of existence of such subspaces were probabilistic, hence non-constructive, which made the results not-quite-suitable for subsequently discovered applications to high-dimensional nearest neighbor search, error-correcting codes over the reals, compressive sensing and other computational problems. In this paper we present a "low-tech" scheme which, for any $a > 0$, allows to exhibit nearly Euclidean $\Omega(N)$-dimensional subspaces of $\ell_1^N$ while using only $N^a$ random bits. Our results extend and complement (particularly) recent work by Guruswami-Lee-Wigderson. Characteristic features of our approach include (1) simplicity (we use only tensor products) and (2) yielding arbitrarily small distortions, or "almost Euclidean" subspaces.

Abstract: It is proved that the simplex is a strict local minimum for the volume-product P(K)=min vol(K)vol(K^z), in the Banach-Mazur space of n-dimensional (classes of ) convex bodies. Here K^z is the polar body of K about the point z and the minimum is taken over all the points z in the interior of K. Linear local stability in the neighborhood of the simplex is proved as well. In the proof, methods that were recently introduced by Nazarov, Petrov, Ryabogin and Zvavitch are extended to the non-symmetric setting.

This is an announcement for the paper "Maps of several variables of finite total variation and Helly-type selection principles" by Vyacheslav V. Chistyakov and Yuliya V. Tretyachenko. Abstract: Given a map from a rectangle in the n-dimensional real Euclidean space into a metric semigroup, we introduce a concept of the total variation, which generalizes a similar concept due to T. H. Hildebrandt (1963) for real functions of two variables and A. S. Leonov (1998) for real functions of n variables, and study its properties. We show that the total variation has many classical properties of Jordan's variation such as the additivity, generalized triangle inequality and sequential lower semicontinuity. We prove two variants of a pointwise selection principle of Helly-type, one of which is as follows: a pointwise precompact sequence of metric semigroup valued maps on the rectangle, whose total variations are uniformly bounded, admits a pointwise convergent subsequence.

Abstract: A dual Banach algebra is a Banach algebra which is a dual space, with the multiplication being separately weak$^*$-continuous. We show that given a unital dual Banach algebra $\mc A$, we can find a reflexive Banach space $E$, and an isometric, weak$^*$-weak$^*$-continuous homomorphism $\pi:\mc A\to\mc B(E)$ such that $\pi(\mc A)$ equals its own bicommutant.

We completely characterize all Lorentz spaces having this property and complement classical results of Rodin and Semenov for Orlicz spaces $exp(L_p)$, $p\ge 1$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Spaces of small metric cotype" by Ellen Veomett and Kevin Wildrick. Abstract: Naor and Mendel's metric cotype extends the notion of the Rademacher cotype of a Banach space to all metric spaces. Every Banach space has metric cotype at least 2. We show that any metric space that is bi-Lipschitz equivalent to an ultrametric space has infinimal metric cotype 1. We discuss the invariance of metric cotype inequalities under snowflaking mappings and Gromov-Hausdorff limits, and use these facts to establish a partial converse of the main result.

This is an announcement for the paper "Sharp weighted estimates for classical operators" by David Cruz-Uribe, Jose Maria Martell, and Carlos Perez. Abstract: We give a new proof of the sharp one weight $L^p$ inequality for any operator $T$ that can be approximated by Haar shift operators such as the Hilbert transform, any Riesz transform, the Beurling-Ahlfors operator. Our proof avoids the Bellman function technique and two weight norm inequalities. We use instead a recent result due to A. Lerner to estimate the oscillation of dyadic operators. Our method is flexible enough to prove the corresponding sharp one-weight norm inequalities for some operators of harmonic analysis: the maximal singular integrals associated to $T$, Dyadic square functions and paraproducts, and the vector-valued maximal operator of C. Fefferman-Stein. Also we can derive a very sharp two-weight bump type condition for $T$.

This is an announcement for the paper "A variant of the Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma for circulant matrices" by Jan Vybiral. Abstract: We continue our study of the Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma and its connection to circulant matrices started in \cite{HV}. We reduce the bound on $k$ from $k=O(\varepsilon^{-2}\log^3n)$ proven there to $k=O(\varepsilon^{-2}\log^2n)$. Our technique differs essentially from the one used in \cite{HV}. We employ the discrete Fourier transform and singular value decomposition to deal with the dependency caused by the circulant structure.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the relation of Carleson's embedding and the maximal theorem in the context of Banach space geometry" by Tuomas Hyt\"onen and Mikko Kemppainen. Abstract: Hyt\"onen, McIntosh and Portal (J. Funct. Anal., 2008) proved two vector-valued generalizations of the classical Carleson embedding theorem, both of them requiring the boundedness of a new vector-valued maximal operator, and the other one also the type p property of the underlying Banach space as an assumption. We show that these conditions are also necessary for the respective embedding theorems, thereby obtaining new equivalences between analytic and geometric properties of Banach spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "A characterization of Schauder frames which are near-Schauder bases" by Rui Liu and Bentuo Zheng. Abstract: A basic problem of interest in connection with the study of Schauder frames in Banach spaces is that of characterizing those Schauder frames which can essentially be regarded as Schauder bases. In this paper, we give a solution to this problem using the notion of the minimal-associated sequence spaces and the minimal-associated reconstruction operators for Schauder frames. We prove that a Schauder frame is a near-Schauder basis if and only if the kernel of the minimal-associated reconstruction operator contains no copy of $c_0$. In particular, a Schauder frame of a Banach space with no copy of $c_0$ is a near-Schauder basis if and only if the minimal-associated sequence space contains no copy of $c_0$. In these cases, the minimal-associated reconstruction operator has a finite dimensional kernel and the dimension of the kernel is exactly the excess of the near-Schauder basis. Using these results, we make related applications on Besselian frames and near-Riesz bases. Archive classification: math.FA Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 46B15, 46B45; Secondary 47A20.

Abstract: In the spirit of the work of Grothendieck, we introduce and study natural symmetric n-fold tensor norms. We prove that there are exactly six natural symmetric tensor norms for $n\ge 3$, a noteworthy difference with the 2-fold case in which there are four. Using a symmetric version of a result of Carne we also describe which natural symmetric tensor norms preserve Banach algebras.

This is an announcement for the paper "Smooth extension of functions on non-separable Banach spaces" by Mar Jimenez-Sevilla and Luis Sanchez-Gonzalez. Abstract: Let us consider a Banach space $X$ with the property that every Lipschitz function can be uniformly approximated by Lipschitz and $C^1$-smooth functions (this is the case either for a weakly compactly generated Banach space $X$ with a $C^1$-smooth norm, or a Banach space $X$ bi-Lipschitz homeomorphic to a subset of $c_0(\Gamma)$, for some set $\Gamma$, such that the coordinate functions of the homeomorphism are $C^1$-smooth). Then for every closed subspace $Y\subset X$ and every $C^1$-smooth (Lipschitz) function $f:Y\to\Real$, there is a $C^1$-smooth (Lipschitz, repectively) extension of $f$ to $X$. An analogous result can be stated for real-valued functions defined on closed convex subsets of $X$.

This is an announcement for the paper "The ideal center of the dual of a Banach lattice" by Mehmet Orhon. Abstract: Let $E$ be a Banach lattice. Its ideal center $Z(E)$ is embedded naturally in the ideal center $Z(E')$ of its dual. The embedding may be extended to a contractive algebra and lattice homomorphism of $Z(E)''$ into $Z(E')$. We show that the extension is onto $Z(E')$ if and only if $E$ has a topologically full center. (That is, for each $x\in E$, the closure of $Z(E)x$ is the closed ideal generated by $x$.) The result can be generalized to the ideal center of the order dual of an Archimedean Riesz space and in a modified form to the orthomorphisms on the order dual of an Archimedean Riesz space.

This is an announcement for the paper "Improved bounds in the metric cotype inequality for Banach spaces" by Ohad Giladi, Manor Mendel, and Assaf Naor. Abstract: It is shown that if (X, ||.||_X) is a Banach space with Rademacher cotype q then for every integer n there exists an even integer m< n^{1+1/q}$ such that for every f:Z_m^n --> X we have \sum_{j=1}^n \Avg_x [ ||f(x+ (m/2) e_j)-f(x) ||_X^q ] < C m^q \Avg_{\e,x} [ ||f(x+\e)-f(x) ||_X^q ], where the expectations are with respect to uniformly chosen x\in Z_m^n and \e\in \{-1,0,1\}^n, and all the implied constants may depend only on q and the Rademacher cotype q constant of X. This improves the bound of m< n^{2+\frac{1}{q}} from [Mendel, Naor 2008]. The proof of the above inequality is based on a ``smoothing and approximation" procedure which simplifies the proof of the metric characterization of Rademacher cotype of [Mendel, Naor 2008]. We also show that any such ``smoothing and approximation" approach to metric cotype inequalities must require m> n^{(1/2)+(1/q)}.

This is an announcement for the paper "Kruglov operator and operators defined by random permutations" by S.V. Astashkin, D.V. Zanin, E.M. Semenov, and F.A. Sukochev. Abstract: The Kruglov property and the Kruglov operator play an important role in the study of geometric properties of r.i. function spaces. We prove that the boundedness of the Kruglov operator in a r.i. space is equivalent to the uniform boundedness on this space of a sequence of operators defined by random permutations. It is shown also that there is no minimal r.i. space with the Kruglov property.

This is an announcement for the paper "Non-asymptotic theory of random matrices: extreme singular values" by Mark Rudelson and Roman Vershynin. Abstract: The classical random matrix theory is mostly focused on asymptotic spectral properties of random matrices as their dimensions grow to infinity. At the same time many recent applications from convex geometry to functional analysis to information theory operate with random matrices in fixed dimensions. This survey addresses the non-asymptotic theory of extreme singular values of random matrices with independent entries. We focus on recently developed geometric methods for estimating the hard edge of random matrices (the smallest singular value).

This is an announcement for the paper "Numerical index of absolute sums of Banach spaces" by Miguel Martin, Javier Meri, Mikhail Popov, and Beata Randrianantoanina. Abstract: We study the numerical index of absolute sums of Banach spaces, giving general conditions which imply that the numerical index of the sum is less or equal than the infimum of the numerical indices of the summands and we provide some examples where the equality holds covering the already known case of $c_0$-, $\ell_1$- and $\ell_\infty$-sums and giving as a new result the case of $E$-sums where $E$ has the RNP and $n(E)=1$ (in particular for finite-dimensional $E$ with $n(E)=1$). We also show that the numerical index of a Banach space $Z$ which contains a dense increasing union of one-complemented subspaces is greater or equal than the limit superior of the numerical indices of those subspaces. Using these results, we give a detailed short proof of the already known fact that the numerical indices of all infinite-dimensional $L_p(\mu)$-spaces coincide.

This is an announcement for the paper "L_1 embeddings of the Heisenberg group and fast estimation of graph isoperimetry" by Assaf Naor. Abstract: We survey connections between the theory of bi-Lipschitz embeddings and the Sparsest Cut Problem in combinatorial optimization. The story of the Sparsest Cut Problem is a striking example of the deep interplay between analysis, geometry, and probability on the one hand, and computational issues in discrete mathematics on the other. We explain how the key ideas evolved over the past 20 years, emphasizing the interactions with Banach space theory, geometric measure theory, and geometric group theory. As an important illustrative example, we shall examine recently established connections to the the structure of the Heisenberg group, and the incompatibility of its Carnot-Carath\'eodory geometry with the geometry of the Lebesgue space $L_1$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Daugavet centers and direct sums of Banach spaces" by Tetiana V. Bosenko. Abstract: A linear continuous nonzero operator G:X->Y is a Daugavet center if every rank-1 operator T:X->Y satisfies ||G+T||=||G||+||T||. We study the case when either X or Y is a sum $X_1 \oplus_F X_2$ of two Banach spaces $X_1$ and $X_2$ by some two-dimensional Banach space F. We completely describe the class of those F such that for some spaces $X_1$ and $X_2$ there exists a Daugavet center acting from $X_1\oplus_F X_2$, and the class of those F such that for some pair of spaces $X_1$ and $X_2$ there is a Daugavet center acting into $X_1\oplus_F X_2$. We also present several examples of such Daugavet centers.

This is an announcement for the paper "Weak$^*$ closures and derived sets in dual Banach spaces" by Mikhail I. Ostrovskii.

Then there exists a convex subset $A\subset X^*$ such that $A^{(1)}\neq {\overline{A}\,}^*$ (the latter denotes the weak$^*$ closure of $A$). {\bf (3)} Let $X$ be a quasi-reflexive Banach space and $A\subset X^*$ be an absolutely convex subset. Then $A^{(1)}={\overline{A}\,}^*$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Strictly positive support points of convex sets in $\mathbb{L}^0_+$" by Constantinos Kardaras. Abstract: We introduce the concept of strictly positive support points of convex sets in $\mathbb{L}^0_+$, the nonnegative orthant of the topological vector space $\mathbb{L}^0$ of all random variables built over a probability space. Traditional functional-analytic definitions fail, due to the fact that the topological dual of $\mathbb{L}^0$ is trivial when the underlying probability space is nonatomic. A necessary and sufficient condition for an element of a convex set in $\mathbb{L}^0_+$ to be a strictly positive support point of the set is given, inspired from ideas in financial mathematics.

It follows from our results that the Szlenk index of an $\ell_p$-direct sum of operators is determined in a natural way by the behaviour of the $\varepsilon$-Szlenk indices of its summands. Our methods give similar results for $c_0$-direct sums.

This is an announcement for the paper "Spanning and independence properties of frame partitions" by Bernhard G. Bodmann, Peter G. Casazza, Vern I. Paulsen, and Darrin Speegle. Abstract: We answer a number of open problems in frame theory concerning the decomposition of frames into linearly independent and/or spanning sets. We prove that in finite dimensional Hilbert spaces, Parseval frames with norms bounded away from 1 can be decomposed into a number of sets whose complements are spanning, where the number of these sets only depends on the norm bound. We also prove, assuming the Kadison-Singer conjecture is true, that this holds for infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces. Further, we prove a stronger result for Parseval frames whose norms are uniformly small, which shows that in addition to the spanning property, the sets can be chosen to be independent, and the complement of each set to contain a number of disjoint, spanning sets.

Firstly, we provide a new version of the Pietsch Domination Theorem that contains all the previous versions (to the best of our knowledge) as particular cases; our second goal is to characterize the arbitrary nonlinear mappings $f:X_{1}\times\cdots\times X_{n}\rightarrow Y$ that satisfy a quite natural Pietsch Domination-type theorem around a given point $(a_{1},...,a_{n})\in$ $X_{1}\times\cdots\times X_{n};$ as it will be shown, the new Pietsch Domination-type theorem plays a crucial role in this task. The characterization of such mappings lead to the idea of a kind of weighted summability for arbitrary mappings.

This is an announcement for the paper "How close is the sample covariance matrix to the actual covariance matrix?" by Roman Vershynin. Abstract: Given a distribution in R^n, a classical estimator of its covariance matrix is the sample covariance matrix obtained from a sample of N independent points. What is the optimal sample size N = N(n) that guarantees estimation with a fixed accuracy in the operator norm? Suppose the distribution is supported in a centered Euclidean ball of radius \sqrt{n}. We conjecture that the optimal sample size is N = O(n) for all distributions with finite fourth moment, and we prove this up to an iterated logarithmic factor. This problem is motivated by the optimal theorem of Rudelson which states that N = O(n \log n) for distributions with finite second moment, and a recent result of Adamczak, Litvak, Pajor and Tomczak-Jaegermann which guarantees that N = O(n) for sub-exponential distributions.

This is an announcement for the paper "Characterization of convex $\mu$-compact sets" by M.E.Shirokov. Abstract: The class of $\mu$-compact sets can be considered as a natural extension of the class of compact metrizable subsets of locally convex spaces, to which the particular results well known for compact sets can be generalized. This class contains all compact sets as well as many noncompact sets widely used in applications. In this paper we give a characterization of a convex $\mu$-compact set in terms of properties of functions defined on this set. Namely, we prove that the class of convex $\mu$-compact sets can be characterized by continuity of the operation of convex closure of a function (= the double Fenchel transform) with respect to monotonic pointwise converging sequences of continuous bounded and of lower semicontinuous lower bounded functions.

This is an announcement for the paper "Improved bounds in the scaled Enflo type inequality for Banach spaces" by Ohad Giladi and Assaf Naor. Abstract: It is shown that if (X,||.||_X) is a Banach space with Rademacher type p \ge 1, then for every integer n there exists an even integer m < Cn^{2-1/p}log n (C is an absolute constant), such that for every f:Z_m^n --> X, \Avg_{x,\e}[||f(x+ m\e/2)-f(x)}||_X^p] < C(p,X) m^p\sum_{j=1}^n\Avg_x[||f(x+e_j)-f(x)||_X^p], where the expectation is with respect to uniformly chosen x \in Z_m^n and \e \in \{-1,1\}^n, and C(p,X) is a constant that depends on p and the Rademacher type constant of X. This improves a bound of m < Cn^{3-2/p} that was obtained in [Mendel, Naor 2007]. The proof is based on an augmentation of the ``smoothing and approximation'' scheme, which was implicit in [Mendel, Naor 2007].

This is an announcement for the paper "Multipliers for p-Bessel sequences in Banach spaces" by Asghar Rahimi and Peter Balazs. Abstract: Multipliers have been recently introduced as operators for Bessel sequences and frames in Hilbert spaces. These operators are defined by a fixed multiplication pattern (the symbol) which is inserted between the analysis and synthesis operators. In this paper, we will generalize the concept of Bessel multipliers for p-Bessel and p-Riesz sequences in Banach spaces. It will be shown that bounded symbols lead to bounded operators. Symbols converging to zero induce compact operators. Furthermore, we will give sufficient conditions for multipliers to be nuclear operators. Finally, we will show the continuous dependency of the multipliers on their parameters.

This is an announcement for the paper "Spaceability in Banach and quasi-Banach sequence spaces" by G. Botelho, D. Diniz, V.V. Favaro and D. Pellegrino. Abstract: Let $X$ be a Banach space. We prove that, for a large class of Banach or quasi-Banach spaces $E$ of $X$-valued sequences, the sets $E-\bigcup _{q\in\Gamma}\ell_{q}(X)$, where $\Gamma$ is any subset of $(0,\infty]$, and $E-c_{0}(X)$ contain closed infinite-dimensional subspaces of $E$ (if non-empty, of course). This result is applied in several particular cases and it is also shown that the same technique can be used to improve a result on the existence of spaces formed by norm-attaining linear operators.

This is an announcement for the paper "Pervasive algebras and maximal subalgebras" by Pamela Gorkin and Anthony G. O'Farrell. Abstract: A uniform algebra $A$ on its Shilov boundary $X$ is {\em maximal} if $A$ is not $C(X)$ and there is no uniform algebra properly contained between $A$ and $C(X)$. It is {\em essentially pervasive} if $A$ is dense in $C(F)$ whenever $F$ is a proper closed subset of the essential set of $A$. If $A$ is maximal, then it is essentially pervasive and proper. We explore the gap between these two concepts. We show the following: (1) If $A$ is pervasive and proper, and has a nonconstant unimodular element, then $A$ contains an infinite descending chain of pervasive subalgebras on $X$. (2) It is possible to imbed a copy of the lattice of all subsets of $\N$ into the family of pervasive subalgebras of some $C(X)$. (3) In the other direction, if $A$ is strongly logmodular, proper and pervasive, then it is maximal. (4) This fails if the word \lq strongly' is removed. We discuss further examples, involving Dirichlet algebras, $A(U)$ algebras, Douglas algebras, and subalgebras of $H^\infty(\mathbb{D})$. We develop some new results that relate pervasiveness, maximality and relative maximality to support sets of representing measures.

This is an announcement for the paper "Coarse version of the Banach Stone theorem" by Rafal Gorak. Abstract: We show that if there exists a Lipschitz homeomorphism $T$ between the nets in the Banach spaces $C(X)$ and $C(Y)$ of continuous real valued functions on compact spaces $X$ and $Y$, then the spaces $X$ and $Y$ are homeomorphic provided $l(T) \times l(T^{-1})<\frac{6}{5}$. By $l(T)$ and $l(T^{-1})$ we denote the Lipschitz constants of the maps $T$ and $T^{-1}$. This improves the classical result of Jarosz and the recent result of Dutrieux and Kalton where the constant obtained is $\frac{17}{16}$. We also estimate the distance of the map $T$ from the isometry of the spaces $C(X)$ and $C(Y)$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Real analytic approximation of Lipschitz functions on Hilbert space and other Banach spaces" by D. Azagra, R. Fry, and L. Keener. Abstract: Let $X$ be a separable Banach space with a separating polynomial. We show that there exists $C\geq 1$ such that for every Lipschitz function $f:X\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$, and every $\varepsilon>0$, there exists a Lipschitz, real analytic function $g:X\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ such that $|f(x)-g(x)|\leq \varepsilon$ and $\textrm{Lip}(g)\leq C\textrm{Lip}(f)$. This result is new even in the case when $X$ is a Hilbert space. Furthermore we characterize the class of Banach spaces having this approximation property as those Banach spaces $X$ having a Lipschitz, real-analytic separating function (meaning a Lipschitz, real analytic function $Q:X\to [0, +\infty)$ such that $Q(0)=0$ and $Q(x)\geq \|x\|$ for $\|x\|\geq 1$).

This is an announcement for the paper "Spaces not containing $\ell_1$ have weak aproximate fixed point property" by Ondrej F.K. Kalenda. Abstract: A nonempty closed convex bounded subset $C$ of a Banach space is said to have the weak approximate fixed point property if for every continuous map $f:C\to C$ there is a sequence $\{x_n\}$ in $C$ such that $x_n-f(x_n)$ converge weakly to $0$. We prove in particular that $C$ has this property whenever it contains no sequence equivalent to the standard basis of $\ell_1$. As a byproduct we obtain a characterization of Banach spaces not containing $\ell_1$ in terms of the weak topology.

This is an announcement for the paper "Systems of reproducing kernels and their biorthogonal: completeness or non-completeness?" by Anton Baranov and Yurii Belov. Abstract: Let $\{v_n\}$ be a complete minimal system in a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ and let $\{w_m\}$ be its biorthogonal system. It is well known that $\{w_m\}$ is not necessarily complete. However the situation may change if we consider systems of reproducing kernels in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ of analytic functions. We study the completeness problem for a class of spaces with a Riesz basis of reproducing kernels and for model subspaces $K_\Theta$ of the Hardy space. We find a class of spaces where systems biorthogonal to complete systems of reproducing kernels are always complete, and show that in general this is not true. In particular we answer the question posed by N.K. Nikolski and construct a model subspace with a non-complete biorthogonal system.

This is an announcement for the paper "M-ideals of homogeneous polynomials" by Veronica Dimant. Abstract: We study the problem of whether $\mathcal{P}_w(^nE)$, the space of $n$-homogeneous polynomials which are weakly continuous on bounded sets, is an $M$-ideal in the space of continuous $n$-homogeneous polynomials $\mathcal{P}(^nE)$. We obtain conditions that assure this fact and present some examples. We prove that if $\mathcal{P}_w(^nE)$ is an $M$-ideal in $\mathcal{P}(^nE)$, then $\mathcal{P}_w(^nE)$ coincides with $\mathcal{P}_{w0}(^nE)$ ($n$-homogeneous polynomials that are weakly continuous on bounded sets at 0). We introduce a polynomial version of property $(M)$ and derive that if $\mathcal{P}_w(^nE)=\mathcal{P}_{w0}(^nE)$ and $\mathcal{K}(E)$ is an $M$-ideal in $\mathcal{L}(E)$, then $\mathcal{P}_w(^nE)$ is an $M$-ideal in $\mathcal{P}(^nE)$. We also show that if $E^*$ has the approximation property and $\mathcal{P}_w(^nE)$ is an $M$-ideal in $\mathcal{P}(^nE)$, then the set of $n$-homogeneous polynomials whose Aron-Berner extension do not attain the norm is nowhere dense in $\mathcal{P}(^nE)$. Finally, we face an analogous $M$-ideal problem for block diagonal polynomials. Archive classification: math.FA Mathematics Subject Classification: 46G25, 46B04, 47L22, 46B20.

This is an announcement for the paper "Frequent hypercyclicity, chaos, and unconditional Schauder decompositions" by Manuel De la Rosa, Leonhard Frerick, Sophie Grivaux, and Alfredo Peris. Abstract: We prove that if X is any complex separable infinite-dimensional Banach space with an unconditional Schauder decomposition, X supports an operator T which is chaotic and frequently hypercyclic. This result is extended to complex Frechet spaces with a continuous norm and an unconditional Schauder decomposition, and also to complex Frechet spaces with an unconditional basis, which gives a partial positive answer to a problem posed by Bonet. We also solve a problem of Bes and Chan in the negative by presenting hypercyclic, but non-chaotic operators on \C^\N. We extend the main result to C_0-semigroups of operators. Finally, in contrast with the complex case, we observe that there are real Banach spaces with an unconditional basis which support no chaotic operator.

This is an announcement for the paper "$L^\infty$ to $L^p$ constants for Riesz projections" by Jordi Marzo and Kristian Seip. Abstract: The norm of the Riesz projection from $L^\infty(\T^n)$ to $L^p(\T^n)$ is considered. It is shown that for $n=1$, the norm equals $1$ if and only if $p\le 4$ and that the norm behaves asymptotically as $p/(\pi e)$ when $p\to \infty$. The critical exponent $p_n$ is the supremum of those $p$ for which the norm equals $1$. It is proved that $2+2/(2^n-1)\le p_n <4$ for $n>1$; it is unknown whether the critical exponent for $n=\infty$ exceeds $2$.

This is an announcement for the paper "The symmetric Radon-Nikod\'ym property for tensor norms" by Daniel Carando and Daniel Galicer. Abstract: We introduce the symmetric-Radon-Nikod\'ym property (sRN property) for finitely generated s-tensor norms $\beta$ of order $n$ and prove a Lewis type theorem for s-tensor norms with this property. As a consequence, if $\beta$ is a projective s-tensor norm with the sRN property, then for every Asplund space $E$, the canonical map $\widetilde{\otimes}_{ \beta }^{n,s} E' \rightarrow \Big(\widetilde{\otimes}_{ \beta' }^{n,s} E \Big)'$ is a metric surjection. This can be rephrased as the isometric isomorphism $\mathcal{Q}^{min}(E) = \mathcal{Q}(E)$ for certain polynomial ideal $\Q$. We also relate the sRN property of an s-tensor norm with the Asplund or Radon-Nikod\'{y}m properties of different tensor products. Similar results for full tensor products are also given. As an application, results concerning the ideal of $n$-homogeneous extendible polynomials are obtained, as well as a new proof of the well known isometric isomorphism between nuclear and integral polynomials on Asplund spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "Directionally Euclidean structures of Banach spaces" by Jarno Talponen. Abstract: We study spaces with directionally asymptotically controlled ellipsoids approximating the unit ball in finite-dimensions. These ellipsoids are the unique minimum volume ellipsoids, which contain the unit ball of the corresponding finite-dimensional subspace. The directional control here means that we evaluate the ellipsoids with a given functional of the dual space. The term asymptotical refers to the fact that we take '$\limsup$' over finite-dimensional subspaces. This leads to some isomorphic and isometric characterizations of Hilbert spaces. An application involving Mazur's rotation problem is given. We also discuss the complexity of the family of ellipsoids as the dimension and geometry vary.

The theory of the tensor products of Banach spaces is used.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the density of Banach {$C(K)$} spaces with the Grothendieck property" by Christina Brech. Abstract: Using the method of forcing we prove that consistently there is a Banach space of continuous functions on a compact Hausdorff space with the Grothendieck property and with density less than the continuum. It follows that the classical result stating that ``no nontrivial complemented subspace of a Grothendieck $C(K)$ space is separable'' cannot be strengthened by replacing ``is separable'' by ``has density less than that of $l_\infty$'', without using an additional set-theoretic assumption. Such a strengthening was proved by Haydon, Levy and Odell, assuming Martin's axiom and the negation of the continuum hypothesis. Moreover, our example shows that certain separation properties of Boolean algebras are quite far from the Grothendieck property. Archive classification: math.FA Citation: Proc. Amer. Math.

This is an announcement for the paper "Thin-very tall compact scattered spaces which are hereditarily separable" by Christina Brech and Piotr Koszmider. Abstract: We strengthen the property $\Delta$ of a function $f:[\omega_2]^2\rightarrow [\omega_2]^{\leq \omega}$ considered by Baumgartner and Shelah. This allows us to consider new types of amalgamations in the forcing used by Rabus, Juh\'asz and Soukup to construct thin-very tall compact scattered spaces. We consistently obtain spaces $K$ as above where $K^n$ is hereditarily separable for each $n\in\N$. This serves as a counterexample concerning cardinal functions on compact spaces as well as having some applications in Banach spaces: the Banach space $C(K)$ is an Asplund space of density $\aleph_2$ which has no Fr\'echet smooth renorming, nor an uncountable biorthogonal system.

This is an announcement for the paper "On universal Banach spaces of density continuum" by Christina Brech and Piotr Koszmider. Abstract: We consider the question whether there exists a Banach space $X$ of density continuum such that every Banach space of density not bigger than continuum isomorphically embeds into $X$ (called a universal Banach space of density $\cc$). It is well known that $\ell_\infty/c_0$ is such a space if we assume the continuum hypothesis. However, some additional set-theoretic assumption is needed, as we prove in the main result of this paper that it is consistent with the usual axioms of set-theory that there is no universal Banach space of density $\cc$. Thus, the problem of the existence of a universal Banach space of density $\cc$ is undecidable using the usual axioms of set-theory. We also prove that it is consistent that there are universal Banach spaces of density $\cc$, but $\ell_\infty/c_0$ is not among them. This relies on the proof of the consistency of the nonexistence of an isomorphic embedding of $C([0,\cc])$ into $\ell_\infty/c_0$.

This is an announcement for the paper "On biorthogonal systems whose functionals are finitely supported" by Christina Brech and Piotr Koszmider. Abstract: We show that for each natural $n>1$ it is consistent that there is a compact Hausdorff space $K_{2n}$ such that in $C(K_{2n})$ there is no uncountable (semi)biorthogonal sequence $(f_\xi,\mu_\xi)_{\xi\in \omega_1}$ where $\mu_\xi$'s are atomic measures with supports consisting of at most $2n-1$ points of $K_{2n}$, but there are biorthogonal systems $(f_\xi,\mu_\xi)_{\xi\in \omega_1}$ where $\mu_\xi$'s are atomic measures with supports consisting of $2n$ points. This complements a result of Todorcevic that it is consistent that each nonseparable Banach space $C(K)$ has an uncountable biorthogonal system where the functionals are measures of the form $\delta_{x_\xi}-\delta_{y_\xi}$ for $\xi<\omega_1$ and $x_\xi,y_\xi\in K$. It also follows that it is consistent that the irredundance of the Boolean algebra $Clop(K)$ or the Banach algebra $C(K)$ for $K$ totally disconnected can be strictly smaller than the sizes of biorthogonal systems in $C(K)$. The compact spaces exhibit an interesting behaviour with respect to known cardinal functions: the hereditary density of the powers $K_{2n}^k$ is countable up to $k=n$ and it is uncountable (even the spread is uncountable) for $k>n$.

Sufficient ``computable'' criteria for distributional and Li-Yorke chaos are given, together with the existence of dense scrambled sets under some additional conditions. We also obtain certain spectral properties. Finally, we show that every infinite dimensional separable Banach space admits a distributionally chaotic operator which is also hypercyclic.

This is an announcement for the paper "A quantitative version of James' compactness theorem" by Bernardo Cascales, Ondrej F.K. Kalenda and Jiri Spurny. Abstract: We introduce two measures of weak non-compactness $Ja_E$ and $Ja$ that quantify, via distances, the idea of boundary behind James' compactness theorem. These measures tell us, for a bounded subset $C$ of a Banach space $E$ and for given $x^*\in E^*$, how far from $E$ or $C$ one needs to go to find $x^{**}\in \overline{C}^{w^*}\subset E^{**}$ with $x^{**}(x^*)=\sup x^* (C)$. A quantitative version of James' compactness theorem is proved using $Ja_E$ and $Ja$, and in particular it yields the following result: {\it Let $C$ be a closed convex bounded subset of a Banach space $E$ and $r>0$. If there is an element $x_0^{**}$ in $\overline{C}^{w^*}$ whose distance to $C$ is greater than $r$, then there is $x^*\in E^*$ such that each $x^{**}\in\overline{C}^{w^*}$ at which $\sup x^*(C)$ is attained has distance to $E$ greater than $r/2$.} We indeed establish that $Ja_E$ and $Ja$ are equivalent to other measures of weak non-compactness studied in the literature. We also collect particular cases and examples showing when the inequalities between the different measures of weak non-compactness can be equalities and when the inequalities are sharp.

This is an announcement for the paper "An inclusion principle for general classes of nonlinear absolutely summing maps" by Daniel Pellegrino. Abstract: The inclusion theorem for absolutely summing linear operators asserts that under certain assumptions on $p_{1},p_{2},q_{1}$ and $q_{2},$ every absolutely $(q_{1},p_{1})$-summing linear operator is also absolutely $(q_{2},p_{2}% )$-summing. In this note we obtain some variants of this result in a completely nonlinear setting.

This is an announcement for the paper "Spreading models in Banach space theory" by S.A. Argyros, V. Kanellopoulos, and K. Tyros. Abstract: We extend the classical Brunel-Sucheston definition of the spreading model by introducing the $\mathcal{F}$-sequences $(x_s)_{s\in\mathcal{F}}$ in a Banach space and the plegma families in $\mathcal{F}$ where $\mathcal{F}$ is a regular thin family. The new concept yields a transfinite increasing hierarchy of classes of 1-subsymmetric sequences. We explore the corresponding theory and we present examples establishing this hierarchy and illustrating the limitation of the theory.

This is an announcement for the paper "Sets of unit vectors with small pairwise sums" by Konrad J. Swanepoel. Abstract: We study the sizes of delta-additive sets of unit vectors in a d-dimensional normed space: the sum of any two vectors has norm at most delta. One-additive sets originate in finding upper bounds of vertex degrees of Steiner Minimum Trees in finite dimensional smooth normed spaces (Z. F\"uredi, J. C. Lagarias, F. Morgan, 1991). We show that the maximum size of a delta-additive set over all normed spaces of dimension d grows exponentially in d for fixed delta>2/3, stays bounded for delta<2/3, and grows linearly at the threshold delta=2/3. Furthermore, the maximum size of a 2/3-additive set in d-dimensional normed space has the sharp upper bound of d, with the single exception of spaces isometric to three-dimensional l^1 space, where there exists a 2/3-additive set of four unit vectors.

This is an announcement for the paper "The geometry of p-convex intersection bodies" by Jaegil Kim, Vladyslav Yaskin and Artem Zvavitch. Abstract: Busemann's theorem states that the intersection body of an origin-symmetric convex body is also convex. In this paper we provide a version of Busemann's theorem for p-convex bodies. We show that the intersection body of a p-convex body is q-convex for certain q. Furthermore, we discuss the sharpness of the previous result by constructing an appropriate example. This example is also used to show that IK, the intersection body of K, can be much farther away from the Euclidean ball than K. Finally, we extend these theorems to some general measure spaces with log-concave and $s$-concave measures Archive classification: math.FA Mathematics Subject Classification: 44A12, 52A15, 52A21 Submitted from: zvavitch at math.kent.edu The paper may be downloaded from the archive by web browser from URL http://front.math.ucdavis.edu/1006.1546 or http://arXiv.org/abs/1006.1546

This is an announcement for the paper "Geometric, spectral and asymptotic properties of averaged products of projections in Banach spaces" by Catalin Badea and Yuri I. Lyubich. Abstract: According to the von Neumann-Halperin and Lapidus theorems, in a Hilbert space the iterates of products or, respectively, of convex combinations of orthoprojections are strongly convergent. We extend these results to the iterates of convex combinations of products of some projections in a complex Banach space. The latter is assumed uniformly convex or uniformly smooth for the orthoprojections, or reflexive for more special projections, in particular, for the hermitian ones. In all cases the proof of convergence is based on a known criterion in terms of the boundary spectrum.

Abstract: A generalization of the cosine of the Friedrichs angle between two subspaces to a parameter associated to several closed subspaces of a Hilbert space is given. This parameter is used to analyze the rate of convergence in the von Neumann-Halperin method of cyclic alternating projections. General dichotomy theorems are proved, in the Hilbert or Banach space situation, providing conditions under which the alternative QUC/ASC (quick uniform convergence versus arbitrarily slow convergence) holds.

This is an announcement for the paper "On strictly singular operators between separable Banach spaces" by Kevin Beanland and Pandelis Dodos. Abstract: Let $X$ and $Y$ be separable Banach spaces and denote by $\sss\sss(X,Y)$ the subset of $\llll(X,Y)$ consisting of all strictly singular operators. We study various ordinal ranks on the set $\sss\sss(X,Y)$. Our main results are summarized as follows. Firstly, we define a new rank $\rs$ on $\sss\sss(X,Y)$. We show that $\rs$ is a co-analytic rank and that dominates the rank $\varrho$ introduced by Androulakis, Dodos, Sirotkin and Troitsky [Israel J. Math., 169 (2009), 221-250]. Secondly, for every $1\leq p<+\infty$ we construct a Banach space $Y_p$ with an unconditional basis such that $\sss\sss(\ell_p, Y_p)$ is a co-analytic non-Borel subset of $\llll(\ell_p,Y_p)$ yet every strictly singular operator $T:\ell_p\to Y_p$ satisfies $\varrho(T)\leq 2$. This answers a question of Argyros.

This is an announcement for the paper "Fractional generalizations of Young and Brunn-Minkowski inequalities" by Sergey Bobkov, Mokshay Madiman, and Liyao Wang. Abstract: A generalization of Young's inequality for convolution with sharp constant is conjectured for scenarios where more than two functions are being convolved, and it is proven for certain parameter ranges. The conjecture would provide a unified proof of recent entropy power inequalities of Barron and Madiman, as well as of a (conjectured) generalization of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality. It is shown that the generalized Brunn-Minkowski conjecture is true for convex sets; an application of this to the law of large numbers for random sets is described.

This is an announcement for the paper "Noncompactness and noncompleteness in isometries of Lipschitz spaces" by Jesus Araujo and Luis Dubarbie. Abstract: We solve the following two questions concerning surjective linear isometries between spaces of Lipschitz functions $\mathrm{Lip}(X,E)$ and $\mathrm{Lip}(Y,F)$, for strictly convex normed spaces $E$ and $F$ and metric spaces $X$ and $Y$: \begin{enumerate} \item Characterize those base spaces $X$ and $Y$ for which all isometries are weighted composition maps. \item Give a condition independent of base spaces under which all isometries are weighted composition maps. \end{enumerate} In particular, we prove that requirements of completeness on $X$ and $Y$ are not necessary when $E$ and $F$ are not complete, which is in sharp contrast with results known in the scalar context. We also give the special form of this kind of isometries.

Abstract: We prove that each non-separable completely metrizable convex subset of a Frechet space is homeomorphic to a Hilbert space. This resolves an old (more than 30 years) problem of infinite-dimensional topology. Combined with the topological classification of separable convex sets due to Klee, Dobrowoslki and Torunczyk, this result implies that each closed convex subset of a Frechet space is homemorphic to $[0,1]^n\times [0,1)^m\times l_2(k)$ for some cardinals $0\le n\le\omega$, $0\le m\le 1$ and $k\ge 0$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Compactness properties of weighted summation operators on trees" by Mikhail Lifshits and Werner Linde. Abstract: We investigate compactness properties of weighted summation operators $V_{\alpha,\sigma}$ as mapping from $\ell_1(T)$ into $\ell_q(T)$ for some $q\in (1,\infty)$. Those operators are defined by $$ (V_{\alpha,\sigma} x)(t) :=\alpha(t)\sum_{s\succeq t}\sigma(s) x(s)\,,\quad t\in T\;, $$ where $T$ is a tree with induced partial order $t \preceq s$ (or $s \succeq t$) for $t,s\in T$. Here $\alpha$ and $\sigma$ are given weights on $T$. We introduce a metric $d$ on $T$ such that compactness properties of $(T,d)$ imply two--sided estimates for $e_n(V_{\alpha,\sigma})$, the (dyadic) entropy numbers of $V_{\alpha,\sigma}$. The results are applied for concrete trees as e.g.~moderate increasing, biased or binary trees and for weights with $\alpha(t)\sigma(t)$ decreasing either polynomially or exponentially. We also give some probabilistic applications for Gaussian summation schemes on trees.

This is an announcement for the paper "Weakly convex sets and modulus of nonconvexity" by Maxim V. Balashov and Dusan Repovs. Abstract: We consider a definition of a weakly convex set which is a generalization of the notion of a weakly convex set in the sense of Vial and a proximally smooth set in the sense of Clarke, from the case of the Hilbert space to a class of Banach spaces with the modulus of convexity of the second order. Using the new definition of the weakly convex set with the given modulus of nonconvexity we prove a new retraction theorem and we obtain new results about continuity of the intersection of two continuous set-valued mappings (one of which has nonconvex images) and new affirmative solutions of the splitting problem for selections. We also investigate relationship between the new definition and the definition of a proximally smooth set and a smooth set.

In particular some results on best approximation in norm will be generalized to the case of the numerical radius.

This is an announcement for the paper "Representation of Ito integrals by Lebesgue/Bochner integrals" by Qi Lu, Jiongmin Yong and Xu Zhang. Abstract: In [22], it was proved that as long as the integrand has certain properties, the corresponding It\^o integral can be written as a (parameterized) Lebesgue integral (or a Bochner integral). In this paper, we show that such a question can be answered in a more positive and refined way. To do this, we need to characterize the dual of the Banach space of some vector-valued stochastic processes having different integrability with respect to the time variable and the probability measure. The later can be regarded as a variant of the classical Riesz Representation Theorem, and therefore it will be useful in studying other problems. Some remarkable consequences are presented as well, including a reasonable definition of exact controllability for stochastic differential equations and a condition which implies a Black-Scholes market to be complete.

This is an announcement for the paper "On typical properties of Hilbert space operators" by Tanja Eisner and Tamas Matrai. Abstract: We study the typical behavior of bounded linear operators on infinite dimensional complex separable Hilbert spaces in the norm, strong-star, strong, weak polynomial and weak topologies. In particular, we investigate typical spectral properties, the problem of unitary equivalence of typical operators, and their embeddability into C_0-semigroups. Our results provide information on the applicability of Baire category methods in the theory of Hilbert space operators.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the monotonicity of the expected volume of a random simplex" by Luis Rademacher. Abstract: Let a random simplex in a d-dimensional convex body be the convex hull of d+1 random points from the body. We study the following question: As a function of the convex body, is the expected volume of a random simplex monotone non-decreasing under inclusion? We show that this holds if d is 1 or 2, and does not hold if d >= 4. We also prove similar results for higher moments of the volume of a random simplex, in particular for the second moment, which corresponds to the determinant of the covariance matrix of the convex body. These questions are motivated by the slicing conjecture.

This is an announcement for the paper "Stampacchia's property, self-duality and orthogonality relations" by Nikos Yannakakis. Abstract: We show that if the conclusion of the well known Stampacchia Theorem, on variational inequalities, holds on a Banach space X, then X is isomorphic to a Hilbert space. Motivated by this we obtain a relevant result concerning self-dual Banach spaces and investigate some connections between existing notions of orthogonality and self-duality. Moreover, we revisit the notion of the cosine of a linear operator and show that it can be used to characterize Hilbert space structure. Finally, we present some consequences of our results to quadratic forms and to evolution triples.

Abstract: The well-known von Bahr--Esseen bound on the absolute pth moments of martingales with p in (1,2] is extended to a large class of moment functions, and now with a best possible constant factor (which depends on the moment function). As an application, measure concentration inequalities for separately Lipschitz functions on product spaces are obtained. Relations with p-uniformly smooth and q-uniformly convex normed spaces are discussed.

This is an announcement for the paper "A characterization of inner product spaces" by Mohammad Sal Moslehian and John M. Rassias. Abstract: In this paper we present a new criterion on characterization of real inner product spaces. We conclude that a real normed space $(X, \|\cdot\|)$ is an inner product space if $$\sum_{\varepsilon_i \in \{-1,1\}} \left\|x_1 + \sum_{i=2}^k\varepsilon_ix_i\right\|^2=\sum_{\varepsilon_i \in \{-1,1\}} \left(\|x_1\| + \sum_{i=2}^k\varepsilon_i\|x_i\|\right)^2\,,$$ for some positive integer $k\geq 2$ and all $x_1, \ldots, x_k \in X$. Conversely, if $(X, \|\cdot\|)$ is an inner product space, then the equality above holds for all $k\geq 2$ and all $x_1, \ldots, x_k \in X$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Dvoretzky type theorems for multivariate polynomials and sections of convex bodies" by V.L. Dolnikov and R.N. Karasev. Abstract: In this paper we prove the Gromov--Milman conjecture (the Dvoretzky type theorem) for homogeneous polynomials on $\mathbb R^n$, and improve bounds on the number $n(d,k)$ in the analogous conjecture for odd degrees $d$ (this case is known as the Birch theorem) and complex polynomials. We also consider a stronger conjecture on the homogeneous polynomial fields in the canonical bundle over real and complex Grassmannians. The latter conjecture is much stronger and false in general, but it is proved in the cases of $d=2$ (for $k$'s of certain type), odd $d$, the complex Grassmannian (for odd and even $d$ and any $k$). Corollaries for the John ellipsoid of projections or sections of a convex body are deduced from the case $d=2$ of the polynomial field conjecture.

We estimate these quantities for the embedding $id:\ell_p^n\to\ell_q^n$ with $0<p\le q\le \infty$ for the normalized cone and surface measure. Furthermore, we consider certain tensor product weights and show that a typical vector with respect to such a measure exhibits a strong compressible (i.e. nearly sparse) structure.

This is an announcement for the paper "The numerical measure of a complex matrix" by Thierry Gallay and Denis Serre. Abstract: We introduce and carefully study a natural probability measure over the numerical range of a complex matrix $A \in M_n(\C)$. This numerical measure $\mu_A$ can be defined as the law of the random variable $<AX,X> \in \C$ when the vector $X \in \C^n$ is uniformly distributed on the unit sphere. If the matrix $A$ is normal, we show that $\mu_A$ has a piecewise polynomial density $f_A$, which can be identified with a multivariate $B$-spline. In the general (nonnormal) case, we relate the Radon transform of $\mu_A$ to the spectrum of a family of Hermitian matrices, and we deduce an explicit representation formula for the numerical density which is appropriate for theoretical and computational purposes. As an application, we show that the density $f_A$ is polynomial in some regions of the complex plane which can be characterized geometrically, and we recover some known results about lacunas of symmetric hyperbolic systems in $2+1$ dimensions. Finally, we prove under general assumptions that the numerical measure of a matrix $A \in M_n(\C)$ concentrates to a Dirac mass as the size $n$ goes to infinity.

For example, if $2\leq m\leq13,$ we show that the constants $C_{m}=2^{(m-1)/2}$ can be replaced by $2^{\frac{m^{2}+m-6}{4m}% }K_{G}^{2/m}$, which are substantially better than $C_{m}$ (here $K_{G}$ denotes the complex Grothendieck Archive classification: math.FA Remarks: 7 pages Submitted from: dmpellegrino at gmail.com The paper may be downloaded from the archive by web browser from URL http://front.math.ucdavis.edu/1009.2717 or http://arXiv.org/abs/1009.2717

This is an announcement for the paper "Dichotomy theorems for random matrices and closed ideals of operators on $\big(\bigoplus _{n=1}^\infty\ell_1^n \big)_{\mathrm{c}_0}$" by Niels Jakob Laustsen, Edward Odell, Thomas Schlumprecht, and Andras Zsak. Abstract: We prove two dichotomy theorems about sequences of operators into $L_1$ given by random matrices. In the second theorem we assume that the entries of each random matrix form a sequence of independent, symmetric random variables. Then the corresponding sequence of operators either uniformly factor the identity operators on $\ell_1^k$ $(k\in\mathbb N$) or uniformly approximately factor through $\mathrm{c}_0$. The first theorem has a slightly weaker conclusion still related to factorization properties but makes no assumption on the random matrices. Indeed, it applies to operators defined on an arbitrary sequence of Banach spaces. These results provide information on the closed ideal structure of the Banach algebra of all operators on the space $\big(\bigoplus_{n=1}^\infty\ell_1^n \big)_{\mathrm{c}_0}$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Approximation properties determined by operator ideals" by Sonia Berrios and Geraldo Botelho. Abstract: Given an operator ideal I, a Banach space E has the I-approximation property if operators on E can be uniformly approximated on compact subsets of E by operators belonging to I. In this paper the I- approximation property is studied in projective tensor products, spaces of linear functionals, spaces of homogeneous polynomials (in particular, spaces of linear operators), spaces of holomorphic functions and their preduals.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the existence of J-class operators" by Amir Nasseri. Abstract: In this note we answer in the negative the question raised by G.Costakis and A.Manoussos, whether there exists a J-class operator on every non-separable Banach space. In par- ticular we show that there exists a non-separable Banach space constructed by A.Arvanitakis, S.Argyros and A.Tolias such that the J-set of every operator on this space has empty interior for each non-zero vector. On the other hand, on non-separable spaces which are reflexive there always exist a J-class operator.

This is an announcement for the paper "A note on Mahler's conjecture" by Shlomo Reisner, Carsten Schutt and Elisabeth M. Werner. Abstract: Let $K$ be a convex body in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with Santal\'o point at $0$. We show that if $K$ has a point on the boundary with positive generalized Gau{\ss} curvature, then the volume product $|K| |K^\circ|$ is not minimal. This means that a body with minimal volume product has Gau{\ss} curvature equal to $0$ almost everywhere and thus suggests strongly that a minimal body is a polytope.

Abstract: For an operator $T \in B(X,Y)$, we denote by $a_m(T)$, $c_m(T)$, $d_m(T)$, and $t_m(T)$ its approximation, Gelfand, Kolmogorov, and absolute numbers. We show that, for any infinite dimensional Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$, and any sequence $\alpha_m \searrow 0$, there exists $T \in B(X,Y)$ for which the inequality $$ 3 \alpha_{\lceil m/6 \rceil} \geq a_m(T) \geq \max\{c_m(t), d_m(T)\} \geq \min\{c_m(t), d_m(T)\} \geq t_m(T) \geq \alpha_m/9 $$ holds for every $m \in \N$.

This is an announcement for the paper "The universal Glivenko-Cantelli property" by Ramon van Handel. Abstract: Let F be a separable uniformly bounded family of measurable functions on a standard measurable space, and let N_{[]}(F,\epsilon,\mu) be the smallest number of \epsilon-brackets in L^1(\mu) needed to cover F. The following are equivalent: 1. F is a universal Glivenko-Cantelli class. 2. N_{[]}(F,\epsilon,\mu)<\infty for every \epsilon>0 and every probability measure \mu. 3. F is totally bounded in L^1(\mu) for every probability measure \mu. 4. F does not contain a Boolean \sigma-independent sequence. In particular, universal Glivenko-Cantelli classes are uniformity classes for general sequences of almost surely convergent random measures.

Abstract: We answer in the affirmative the following question raised by H. H.

Actually we show the way to produce in every Banach space X a bounded convex tiling of order 2, i.e. a covering of X by bounded convex closed sets with nonempty interior (tiles) such that the interiors are pairwise disjoint and no point of X belongs to more than two tiles.

This is an announcement for the paper "Property $(\beta)$ and uniform quotient maps" by Vegard Lima and N. Lovasoa Randrianarivony. Abstract: In 1999, Bates, Johnson, Lindenstrauss, Preiss and Schechtman asked whether a Banach space that is a uniform quotient of $\ell_p$, $1 < p \neq 2 < \infty$, must be isomorphic to a linear quotient of $\ell_p$. We apply the geometric property $(\beta)$ of Rolewicz to the study of uniform and Lipschitz quotient maps, and answer the above question positively for the case $1<p<2$. We also give a necessary condition for a Banach space to have $c_0$ as a uniform quotient.

This is an announcement for the paper "A new and simple proof of Schauder's theorem" by Volker Runde. Abstract: Schauder's theorem asserts that a bounded linear operator between Banach spaces is compact if ad only if its adjoint is. We give a new proof of this result, which is both short and completely elementary in the sense that it does not depend on anything beyond basic functional analysis, i.e., the Hahn--Banach theorem and some of its consequences; in particular, we avoid the Arzela--Ascoli theorem (and any kind of related diagonal argument).

This is an announcement for the paper "Polyhedral approximations of strictly convex compacta" by Maxim V. Balashov and Dusan Repovs. Abstract: We consider polyhedral approximations of strictly convex compacta in finite dimensional Euclidean spaces (such compacta are also uniformly convex). We obtain the best possible estimates for errors of considered approximations in the Hausdorff metric. We also obtain new estimates of an approximate algorithm for finding the convex hulls.

This is an announcement for the paper "Points fixes des applications compactes dans les espaces ULC" by Robert Cauty. Abstract: A topological space is locally equiconnected if there exists a neighborhood $U$ of the diagonal in $X\times X$ and a continuous map $\lambda:U\times[0,1]\to X$ such that $\lambda(x,y,0)=x$, $\lambda(x,y,1)=y$ et $\lambda(x,x,t)=x$ for $(x,y)\in U$ and $(x,t)\in X\times[0,1]$. This class contains all ANRs, all locally contractible topological groups and the open subsets of convex subsets of linear topological spaces. In a series of papers, we extended the fixed point theory of compact continuous maps, which was well developped for ANRs, to all separeted locally equiconnected spaces. This generalization includes a proof of Schauder's conjecture for compact maps of convex sets. This paper is a survey of that work. The generalization has two steps: the metrizable case, and the passage from the metrizable case to the general case. The metrizable case is, by far, the most difficult. To treat this case, we introduced in [4] the notion of algebraic ANR. Since the proof that metrizable locally equiconnected spaces are algebraic ANRs is rather difficult, we give here a detaled sketch of it in the case of a compact convex subset of a metrizable t.v.s.. The passage from the metrizable case to the general case uses a free functor and representations of compact spaces as inverse limits of some special inverse systems of metrizable compacta.

This is an announcement for the paper "Adjoint operators on Banach spaces" by Tepper L Gill, Francis Mensah and Woodford W. Zachary. Abstract: In this paper, we report on new results related to the existence of an adjoint for operators on separable Banach spaces and discuss a few interesting applications. (Some results are new even for Hilbert spaces.) Our first two applications provide an extension of the Poincar\'{e} inequality and the Stone-von Neumann version of the spectral theorem for a large class of $C_0$-generators of contraction semigroups on separable Banach spaces. Our third application provides a natural extension of the Schatten-class of operators to all separable Banach spaces. As a part of this program, we introduce a new class of separable Banach spaces. As a side benefit, these spaces also provide a natural framework for the (rigorous) construction of the path integral as envisioned by Feynman.

This is an announcement for the paper "Invertibility threshold for $H^\infty$ trace algebras, and effective matrix inversions" by Nikolai Nikolski and Vasily Vasyunin. Abstract: For a given $\delta$, $0<\delta<1$, a Blaschke sequence $\sigma=\{\lambda_j\}$ is constructed such that every function $f$, $f\in H^\infty$, having $\delta<\delta_f=\inf_{\lambda\in\sigma}|f(\lambda)|\le\|f\|_\infty\le1$ is invertible in the trace algebra $H^\infty|\sigma$ (with a norm estimate of the inverse depending on $\delta_f$ only), but there exists $f$ with $\delta=\delta_f\le\|f\|_\infty\le1$, which does not. As an application, a counterexample to a stronger form of the Bourgain--Tzafriri restricted invertibility conjecture for bounded operators is exhibited, where an ``orthogonal (or unconditional) basis'' is replaced by a ``summation block orthogonal basis''.

This is an announcement for the paper "Extracting long basic sequences from systems of dispersed vectors" by Jarno Talponen. Abstract: We study Banach spaces satisfying some geometric or structural properties involving tightness of transfinite sequences of nested linear subspaces. These properties are much weaker than WCG and closely related to Corson's property (C). Given a transfinite sequence of normalized vectors, which is dispersed or null in some sense, we extract a subsequence which is a biorthogonal sequence, or even a weakly null monotone basic sequence, depending on the setting. The Separable Complementation Property is established for spaces with an M-basis under rather weak geometric properties. We also consider an analogy of the Baire Category Theorem for the lattice of closed linear subspaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "Average best $m$-term approximation" by Jan Vybiral. Abstract: We introduce the concept of average best $m$-term approximation widths with respect to a probability measure on the unit ball of $\ell_p^n$. We estimate these quantities for the embedding $id:\ell_p^n\to\ell_q^n$ with $0<p\le q\le \infty$ for the normalized cone and surface measure. Furthermore, we consider certain tensor product weights and show that a typical vector with respect to such a measure exhibits a strong compressible (i.e. nearly sparse) structure.

This is an announcement for the paper "Interpolating thin-shell and sharp large-deviation estimates for isotropic log-concave measures" by Olivier Guedon and Emanuel Milman. Abstract: Given an isotropic random vector $X$ with log-concave density in Euclidean space $\Real^n$, we study the concentration properties of $|X|$. We show in particular that: \[ \P(|X| \geq (1+t) \sqrt{n}) \leq \exp(-c n^{\frac{1}{2}} \min(t^3,t)) \;\;\; \forall t > 0 ~, \] for some universal constant $c>0$. This improves the best known deviation results above the expectation on the thin-shell and mesoscopic scales due to Fleury and Klartag, respectively, and recovers the sharp large-deviation estimate of Paouris. Another new feature of our estimate is that it improves when $X$ is $\psi_\alpha$ ($\alpha \in (1,2]$), in precise agreement with the sharp Paouris estimates. The upper bound on the thin-shell width $\sqrt{\Var(|X|)}$ we obtain is of the order of $n^{1/3}$, and improves down to $n^{1/4}$ when $X$ is $\psi_2$. Our estimates thus continuously interpolate between a new best known thin-shell estimate and the sharp Paouris large-deviation one.

This is an announcement for the paper "Maximal theorems and square functions for analytic operators on Lp-spaces" by Christian Le Merdy and Quanhua Xu. Abstract: Let T : Lp --> Lp be a contraction, with p strictly between 1 and infinity, and assume that T is analytic, that is, there exists a constant K such that n\norm{T^n-T^{n-1}} < K for any positive integer n. Under the assumption that T is positive (or contractively regular), we establish the boundedness of various Littlewood-Paley square functions associated with T. As a consequence we show maximal inequalities of the form $\norm{\sup_{n\geq 0}\, (n+1)^m\bigl\vert T^n(T-I)^m(x) \bigr\vert}_p\,\lesssim\, \norm{x}_p$, for any nonnegative integer m. We prove similar results in the context of noncommutative Lp-spaces. We also give analogs of these maximal inequalities for bounded analytic semigroups, as well as applications to R-boundedness properties.

This is an announcement for the paper "Some remarks on stronger versions of the Boundary Problem for Banach spaces" by Jan-David Hardtke. Abstract: Let $X$ be a real Banach space. A subset $B$ of the dual unit sphere of $X$ is said to be a boundary for $X$, if every element of $X$ attains its norm on some functional in $B$. The well-known Boundary Problem originally posed by Godefroy asks whether a bounded subset of $X$ which is compact in the topology of pointwise convergence on $B$ is already weakly compact. This problem was recently solved by H.Pfitzner in the positive. In this note we collect some stronger versions of the solution to the Boundary Problem, most of which are restricted to special types of Banach spaces. We shall use the results and techniques of Pfitzner, Cascales et al., Moors and others.

In order to do this, we first prove that c_0 is the only infinite dimensional separable C(K) space, Z, up to an isomorphism, which satisfies each one of the following statements: (1) Z is a quotient of C(beta mathbb N, l_p) for every 1< p< infinity. (2) Z is isomorphic to a complemented subspace of C(beta mathbb N, l_1). (3) C(beta mathbb N, l_p) is isomorphic to the injective tensor product of itself and Z, for every 1 <= p < infinity.

This is an announcement for the paper "Hereditarily indecomposable, separable L_\infty spaces with \ell_1 dual having few operators, but not very few operators" by Matthew Tarbard. Abstract: Given a natural number $k \geq 2$, we construct a hereditarily indecomposable, $\mathscr{L}_{\infty}$ space, $X_k$ with dual isomorphic to $\ell_1$. We exhibit a non-compact, strictly singular operator $S$ on $X_k$, with the property that $S^k = 0$ and $S^j (0 \leq j \leq k-1)$ is not a compact perturbation of any linear combination of $S^l, l \neq j$. Moreover, every bounded linear operator on this space has the form $\sum_{i=0}^{k-1} \lambda_i S^i +K$ where the $\lambda_i$ are scalars and $K$ is compact. In particular, this construction answers a question of Argyros and Haydon ( "A hereditarily indecomposable space that solves the scalar-plus-compact problem").

This is an announcement for the paper "On the numerical radius of operators in Lebesgue spaces" by Miguel Martin, Javier Meri and Mikhail Popov. Abstract: We show that the absolute numerical index of the space $L_p(\mu)$ is $p^{-\frac{1}{p}} q^{-\frac{1}{q}}$ (where $1/p+1/q=1$). In other words, we prove that $$ \sup\left\{\int |x|^{p-1}|Tx|\, d\mu \, : \ x\in L_p(\mu),\,\|x\|_p=1\right\} \,\geq \,p^{-\frac{1}{p}} q^{-\frac{1}{q}}\,\|T\| $$ for every $T\in \mathcal{L}(L_p(\mu))$ and that this inequality is the best possible when the dimension of $L_p(\mu)$ is greater than one. We also give lower bounds for the best constant of equivalence between the numerical radius and the operator norm in $L_p(\mu)$ for atomless $\mu$ when restricting to rank-one operators or narrow operators.

This is an announcement for the paper "On quantification of weak sequential completeness" by O.F.K. Kalenda, H. Pfitzner and J. Spurny. Abstract: We consider several quantities related to weak sequential completeness of a Banach space and prove some of their properties in general and in $L$-embedded Banach spaces, improving in particular an inequality of G.~Godefroy, N.~Kalton and D.~Li. We show some examples witnessing natural limits of our positive results, in particular, we construct a separable Banach space $X$ with the Schur property that cannot be renormed to have a certain quantitative form of weak sequential completeness, thus providing a partial answer to a question of G.~Godefroy.

This is an announcement for the paper "Sharp bounds on the rate of convergence of the empirical covariance matrix" by Radoslaw Adamczak, Alexander E. Litvak, Alain Pajor, and Nicole Tomczak-Jaegermann. Abstract: Let $X_1,..., X_N\in\R^n$ be independent centered random vectors with log-concave distribution and with the identity as covariance matrix. We show that with overwhelming probability at least $1 - 3 \exp(-c\sqrt{n}\r)$ one has $ \sup_{x\in S^{n-1}} \Big|\frac{1/N}\sum_{i=1}^N (|<X_i, x>|^2 - \E|<X_i, x>|^2\r)\Big| \leq C \sqrt{\frac{n/N}},$ where $C$ is an absolute positive constant. This result is valid in a more general framework when the linear forms $(<X_i,x>)_{i\leq N, x\in S^{n-1}}$ and the Euclidean norms $(|X_i|/\sqrt n)_{i\leq N}$ exhibit uniformly a sub-exponential decay. As a consequence, if $A$ denotes the random matrix with columns $(X_i)$, then with overwhelming probability, the extremal singular values $\lambda_{\rm min}$ and $\lambda_{\rm max}$ of $AA^\top$ satisfy the inequalities $ 1 - C\sqrt{{n/N}} \le {\lambda_{\rm min}/N} \le \frac{\lambda_{\rm max}/N} \le 1 + C\sqrt{{n/N}} $ which is a quantitative version of Bai-Yin theorem \cite{BY} known for random matrices with i.i.d. entries.

This is an announcement for the paper "Uniform Eberlein compactifications of metrizable spaces" by Taras Banakh and Arkady Leiderman. Abstract: We prove that each metrizable space (of cardinality less or equal to continuum) has a (first countable) uniform Eberlein compactification and each scattered metrizable space has a scattered hereditarily paracompact compactification. Each compact scattered hereditarily paracompact space is uniform Eberlein and belongs to the smallest class of compact spaces, that contain the empty set, the singleton, and is closed under producing the Aleksandrov compactification of the topological sum of a family of compacta from that class.

This is an announcement for the paper "A $c_0$ saturated Banach space with tight structure" by Spiros A. Argyros and Giorgos Petsoulas. Abstract: It is shown that variants of the HI methods could yield objects closely connected to the classical Banach spaces. Thus we present a new $c_0$ saturated space, denoted as $\mathfrak{X}_0$, with rather tight structure. The space $\mathfrak{X}_0$ is not embedded into a space with an unconditional basis and its complemented subspaces have the following structure. Everyone is either of type I, namely, contains an isomorph of $\mathfrak{X}_0$ itself or else is isomorphic to a subspace of $c_0$ (type II). Furthermore for any analytic decomposition of $\mathfrak{X}_0$ into two subspaces one is of type I and the other is of type II. The operators of $\mathfrak{X}_0$ share common features with those of HI spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "The foundational inequalities of D.L. Burkholder and some of their ramifications" by Rodrigo Banuelos. Abstract: This paper present an overview of some of the applications of the martingale transform inequalities of D.L.~Burkholder to $L^p$-bounds for singular integrals concentrating on $L^p$-bounds for the Hilbert, Riesz, Beurling-Ahlfors transforms and other multipliers obtained by projections (conditional expectations) of transformations of stochastic integrals. The aim is to obtain optimal, or near optimal, bounds in these inequalities. Connections to other areas of mathematics where these inequalities and the techniques to prove them have become of considerable interest in recent years, are also discussed.

Abstract: We prove that a continuous image of a Radon-Nikod\'{y}m compact space of weight less than b is Radon-Nikod\'{y}m compact. As a Banach space counterpart, subspaces of Asplund generated Banach spaces of density character less than b are Asplund generated. In this case, in addition, there exists a subspace of an Asplund generated space which is not Asplund generated which has density character exactly b.

This is an announcement for the paper "Strictly convex norms and topology" by Jose Orihuela, Richard J. Smith, and Stanimir Troyanski. Abstract: We introduce a new topological property called (*) and the corresponding class of topological spaces, which includes spaces with $G_\delta$-diagonals and Gruenhage spaces. Using (*), we characterise those Banach spaces which admit equivalent strictly convex norms, and give an internal topological characterisation of those scattered compact spaces $K$, for which the dual Banach space $C(K)^*$ admits an equivalent strictly convex dual norm. We establish some relationships between (*) and other topological concepts, and the position of several well-known examples in this context. For instance, we show that $C(\mathcal{K})^*$ admits an equivalent strictly convex dual norm, where $\mathcal{K}$ is Kunen's compact space. Also, under the continuum hypothesis CH, we give an example of a compact scattered non-Gruenhage space having (*).

This is an announcement for the paper "On the continuity and regularity of convex extensions" by Orest Bucicovschi and Jiri Lebl. Abstract: We study continuity and regularity of convex extensions of functions from a compact set $C$ to its convex hull $K$. We show that if $C$ contains the relative boundary of $K$, and $f$ is a continuous convex function on $C$, then $f$ extends to a continuous convex function on $K$ using the standard convex roof construction. In fact, a necessary and sufficient condition for $f$ to extend from any set to a continuous convex function on the convex hull is that $f$ extends to a continuous convex function on the relative boundary of the convex hull. We give examples showing that the hypotheses in the results are necessary. In particular, if $C$ does not contain the entire relative boundary of $K$, then there may not exist any continuous convex extension of $f$. Finally, when $\partial K$ and $f$ are $C^1$ we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the convex roof construction to be $C^1$ on all of $K$. We also discuss an application of the convex roof construction in quantum computation.

This is an announcement for the paper "Positive definite metric spaces" by Mark W. Meckes. Abstract: Magnitude is a numerical invariant of finite metric spaces, recently introduced by T.\ Leinster, which is analogous in precise senses to the cardinality of finite sets or the Euler characteristic of topological spaces. It has been extended to infinite metric spaces in several a priori distinct ways. This paper develops the theory of a class of metric spaces, positive definite metric spaces, for which magnitude is more tractable than in general. In particular, it is shown that all the proposed definitions of magnitude coincide for compact positive definite metric spaces. Some additional results are proved about the behavior of magnitude as a function of such spaces, and a number of examples of positive definite metric spaces are found, including all subsets of $L_p$ for $p\le 2$ and Euclidean spheres equipped with the geodesic distance. Finally, some facts about the magnitude of compact subsets of $\ell_p^n$ for $p \le 2$ are proved, generalizing results of Leinster for $p=1,2$, using properties of these spaces which are somewhat stronger than positive definiteness.
