This is an announcement for the paper "A weak* separable C(K)* space
whose unit ball is not weak* separable" by Antonio Aviles, Grzegorz
Plebanek and Jose Rodriguez.


Abstract: We provide a ZFC example of a compact space K such that C(K)* is
w*-separable but its closed unit ball is not w*-separable. All previous
examples of such kind had been constructed under CH. We also discuss
the measurability of the supremum norm on that C(K) equipped with its
weak Baire sigma-algebra.

This is an announcement for the paper "On smooth extensions of
vector-valued functions defined on closed   subsets of Banach spaces"
by M. Jimenez-Sevilla and L. Sanchez-Gonzalez.


Abstract: Let $X$ and $Z$ be Banach spaces, $A$ a closed subset of $X$
and a mapping $f:A \to Z$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions
to obtain a $C^1$ smooth mapping $F:X \to Z$ such that $F_{\mid_A}=f$,
when either (i) $X$ and $Z$ are Hilbert spaces and $X$ is separable,
or (ii) $X^*$ is separable and $Z$ is an absolute Lipschitz retract,
or (iii) $X=L_2$ and $Z=L_p$ with $1<p<2$, or (iv) $X=L_p$ and $Z=L_2$
with $2<p<\infty$.

Abstract: Let $X$ be a Banach space and $Conv_H(X)$ be the space of

Hilbert space, or a Hilbert space of density not less than continuum.

complex convex bodies are also convex. Other results include stability
in the complex Busemann-Petty problem for arbitrary measures and the
corresponding hyperplane inequality for measures of complex intersection
bodies.

Abstract: We give examples of results on composition operators connected

those operators acting on the usual Hardy space $H^2$. The last ones
are connected with Hardy-Orlicz and Bergman-Orlicz spaces $H^\psi$ and
$B^\psi$, and provide a negative answer to the question of knowing if
all composition operators which are weakly compact on a non-reflexive
space are norm-compact.

This is an announcement for the paper "The local non-homogeneous Tb
theorem for vector-valued functions" by Tuomas P. Hytonen and Antti
V. Vahakangas.


Abstract: We extend the local non-homogeneous Tb theorem of Nazarov, Treil
and Volberg to the setting of singular integrals with operator-valued
kernel that act on vector-valued functions. Here, `vector-valued'
means `taking values in a function lattice with the UMD (unconditional
martingale differences) property'.  A similar extension (but for general
UMD spaces rather than UMD lattices) of Nazarov-Treil-Volberg's global
non-homogeneous Tb theorem was achieved earlier by the first author,
and it has found applications in the work of Mayboroda and Volberg on
square-functions and rectifiability. Our local version requires several
elaborations of the previous techniques, and raises new questions about
the limits of the vector-valued theory.

Abstract: We study the notions of acs, luacs and uacs Banach spaces
which were introduced by V. Kadets et al. in 2000 and form common
generalisations of the usual rotundity and smoothness properties of
Banach spaces. In particular, we are interested in (mainly infinite)
absolute sums of such spaces. We also introduce some new classes of
spaces that lie inbetween those of acs and uacs spaces and study their
behaviour under taking absolute sums as well.

This is an announcement for the paper "Surfaces meeting porous sets in
positive measure" by Gareth Speight.


Abstract: Let n>2 and X be a Banach space of dimension strictly greater
than n. We show there exists a directionally porous set P in X for which
the set of C^1 surfaces of dimension n meeting P in positive measure is
not meager. If X is separable this leads to a decomposition of X into
a countable union of directionally porous sets and a set which is null
on residually many C^1 surfaces of dimension n. This is of interest
in the study of certain classes of null sets used to investigate
differentiability of Lipschitz functions on Banach spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the hypercontractivity of the
polynomial Bohnenblust--Hille inequality" by Daniel Pellegrino and Juan
B. Seoane-Sepulveda.


Abstract: Recently, it was proved that the polynomial Bohnenblust--Hille
inequality is hypercontractive, i.e., there is a constant $C>1$
(from now on called constant of hypercontractivity) so that
$\frac{D_{m}}{D_{m-1}}=C$ for every $m$, where $D_{m}$ are constants
satisfying the polynomial Bohnenblust--Hille inequality.  For the
case of multilinear mappings a recent result shows that $\lim
_{m\rightarrow\infty}\frac{C_{m}}{C_{m-1}}=1$, where $C_{m}$ are
constants satisfying the multilinear Bohnenblust--Hille inequality. So
it is natural to wonder if there exist constants $D_{m}$'s such that
$\lim_{m\rightarrow\infty}\frac{D_{m}% }{D_{m-1}}=1$. In this note we
provide lower estimates for the polynomial Bohnenblust--Hille inequality
with strong numerical evidence supporting that it is not possible to
obtain such $D_{m}.$ Besides the qualitative information, and to the
best of our knowledge, this is the first time in which non-trivial lower
bounds for the constants of the polynomial Bohnenblust--Hille inequality
are presented. We also show that the constant of hypercontractivity $C$
is so that $1.1542\leq C\leq1.8529$, providing as well explicit formulae
to improve the lower estimate $1.1542.$ It is our belief that variations
of the ideas introduced in this paper can be used for the search of the
optimal constants for the polynomial Bohnenblust--Hille inequality.

This is an announcement for the paper "On Enflo and narrow operators
acting on $L_p$" by V. Mykhaylyuk, M. Popov and B. Randrianantoanina.


Abstract: The paper is devoted to proofs of the following three
results. Theorem A. For $1 < p < 2$ every non-Enflo operator $T$ on $L_p$
is narrow. Theorem B. For $1 < p < 2$ every operator $T$ on $L_p$ which
is unbounded from below on $L_p(A)$, $A \subseteq [0,1]$, by means of
function having a ``gentle'' growth, is narrow. Theorem C. For $2 < p,
r < \infty$ every operator $T: L_p\rightarrow\ell_r$ is narrow.
  Theorem A was mentioned by Bourgain in 1981, as a result that can
be deduced from the proof of a related result in
Johnson-Maurey-Schechtman-Tzafriri's book, but the proof from there
needed several modifications. Theorems B and C are new results. We also
discuss related open problems.

Casini, Enrico Miglierina, Ioannis A. Polyrakis, and Foivos Xanthos.


Abstract: Reflexive cones in Banach spaces are cones with weakly compact
intersection with the unit ball. In this paper we study the structure of
this class of cones. We investigate the relations between the notion of
reflexive cones and the properties of their bases. This allows us to prove
a characterization of reflexive cones in term of the absence of a subcone
isomorphic to the positive cone of \ell_{1}. Moreover, the properties
of some specific classes of reflexive cones are investigated. Namely,
we consider the reflexive cones such that the intersection with the
unit ball is norm compact, those generated by a Schauder basis and the
reflexive cones regarded as ordering cones in a Banach spaces. Finally,
it is worth to point out that a characterization of reflexive spaces and
also of the Schur spaces by the properties of reflexive cones is given.

This is an announcement for the paper "The road to deterministic matrices
with the restricted isometry property" by Afonso S. Bandeira, Matthew
Fickus, Dustin G. Mixon and Percy Wong.


Abstract: The restricted isometry property (RIP) is a well-known matrix
condition that provides state-of-the-art reconstruction guarantees
for compressed sensing.  While random matrices are known to satisfy
this property with high probability, deterministic constructions have
found less success. In this paper, we consider various techniques for
demonstrating RIP deterministically, some popular and some novel, and
we evaluate their performance. In evaluating some techniques, we apply
random matrix theory and inadvertently find a simple alternative proof
that certain random matrices are RIP. Later, we propose a particular class
of matrices as candidates for being RIP, namely, equiangular tight frames
(ETFs).  Using the known correspondence between real ETFs and strongly
regular graphs, we investigate certain combinatorial implications of a
real ETF being RIP.  Specifically, we give probabilistic intuition for
a new bound on the clique number of Paley graphs of prime order, and we
conjecture that the corresponding ETFs are RIP in a manner similar to
random matrices.

lower estimate theorems for finite dimensional decompositions of Banach
spaces can be extended and modified to Schauder frames. We show as well
that if a separable infinite dimensional Banach space has a Schauder
frame, then it also has a Schauder frame which is not shrinking.

This is an announcement for the paper "Discretization and affine
approximation in high dimensions" by Sean Li and Assaf Naor.


Abstract: Lower estimates are obtained for the macroscopic scale of
affine approximability of vector-valued Lipschitz functions on finite
dimensional normed spaces, completing the work of Bates, Johnson,
Lindenstrass, Preiss and Schechtman. This yields a new approach to
Bourgain's discretization theorem for superreflexive targets.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the minimal space problem and
a new result on existence of basic sequences in quasi-Banach spaces"
by Cleon S. Barroso.


Abstract: We prove that if $X$ is a quasi-normed space which possesses
an infinite countable dimensional subspace with a separating dual, then
it admits a strictly weaker Hausdorff vector topology. Such a topology
is constructed explicitly. As an immediate consequence, we obtain an
improvement of a well-known result of Kalton-Shapiro and Drewnowski by
showing that a quasi-Banach space contains a basic sequence if and only
if it contains an infinite countable dimensional subspace whose dual is
separating. We also use this result to highlight a new feature of the
minimal quasi-Banach space constructed by Kalton. Namely, which all of
its $\aleph_0$-dimensional subspaces fail to have a separating family
of continuous linear functionals.

       	 	    	      Texas A&M University
         		      	   Summer 2012

The Summer 2012 Workshop in Analysis and  Probability at Texas A&M 
University will be in session from July 2  until August 10, 2012.  For 
information about the Workshop, consult the Workshop Home Page, whose NEW 
URL is

The Informal Regional Functional Analysis Seminar (SUMIRFAS) will be held 
August 3-5.

July 16 - 19 there will be a Concentration Week on "Frame Theory and Maps 
Between Operator Algebras",
organized by Chris Heil, Emily J. King (chair), Keri Kornelson, David 
Larson (local organizer), and Darrin Speegle.  A researcher working in 
frame theory will naturally be led to consider matrices (the Gram matrix, 
the analysis operator and the synthesis operator), and many problems in 
frame theory have a re-casting in operator theory.  The most celebrated 
example of this is the Kadison-Singer problem.  By now, there are many 
mathematicians familiar with the basics of the two areas, and there is a 
fruitful collaboration.  Less obvious is the relationship between frame 
theory and maps between operator algebras.  Very recent work in this area 
by Han, Larson, Lu, and Lu indicate that this may be a relationship that 
is ripe for exploiting.  The goal of this concentration week is to bring 
together researchers in these two fields so that they may learn from one 
another and build networks of potential collaborators.  There will be 
introductory series of talks on "Frame theory" by Ole Christensen, on 
"Maps on Operator Algebras" by Vern Paulsen, and on "Bridging the Gap 
Between Frame Theory and Maps on Operator Algebras" by Deguang Han.  This 
concentration week will also lead into a separate conference on the 
following weekend celebrating the 70th birthday of David Larson. The home 
page for this Workshop is at

http://page.math.tu-berlin.de/~king/cw.html

August 6-10 there will be a Concentration Week on "Recent advances in 
Harmonic Analysis and Spectral Theory",
organized by Andrew Comech, David Damanik, Constanze Liaw (chair), and 
Alexei Poltoratski.  This CW is designed to bring together two  groups of 
experts: those specializing in complex and harmonic analysis and those 
working in spectral theory of differential operators and mathematical 
physics. The main goals of the CW are to study new relationships and to 
widen further participation in this area in the United States. 
Introductory series of lectures by Stephen Gustafson, Svetlana 
Jitomirskaya (to be confirmed), Helge Krueger, and Brett Wick are planned 
to acquaint non-experts with these topics with the reasonable expectation 
that some the  participants in the larger Workshop will be attracted to 
this program and inject new ideas into the area.
The home page for this Workshop is at

http://www.math.tamu.edu/~comech/events/hast-2012/

The Workshop is supported in part by grants from the National Science 
Foundation (NSF). Minorities, women, graduate students, and young 
researchers are especially encouraged to attend.

Abstract: A refinement of so-called fast Johnson-Lindenstrauss
transform, due to Ailon and Chazelle (2006), and Matou\v{s}ek (2008),
is proposed. While it preserves the time efficiency and simplicity
of implementation of the original construction, it reduces randomness
used to generate the random transformation.  In the analysis of the
construction two auxiliary results are established which might be
of independent interest: a Bernstein-type inequality for a sum of a
random sample from a family of independent random variables and a normal
approximation result for such a sum.

Abstract: We introduce the higher order spreading models associated
to a Banach space $X$. Their definition is based on $\ff$-sequences
$(x_s)_{s\in\ff}$ with $\ff$ a regular thin family and the
plegma families. We show that the higher order spreading models
of a Banach space $X$ form an increasing transfinite hierarchy
$(\mathcal{SM}_\xi(X))_{\xi<\omega_1}$. Each $\mathcal{SM}_\xi
(X)$ contains all spreading models generated by $\ff$-sequences
$(x_s)_{s\in\ff}$ with order of $\ff$ equal to $\xi$. We also provide
a study of the fundamental properties of the hierarchy.

Abstract: We present a new, elementary proof of Boyd's interpolation

a noncommutative version of this result and even allows for the
interpolation of certain operators on $l^1$-valued noncommutative
symmetric spaces. By duality we may interpolate several well-known
noncommutative maximal inequalities. In particular we obtain a version of
Doob's maximal inequality and the dual Doob inequality for noncommutative
symmetric spaces. We apply our results to prove the Burkholder-Davis-Gundy
and Burkholder-Rosenthal inequalities for noncommutative martingales in
these spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "A representation theorem
for orthogonally additive polynomials in Riesz spaces" by A. Ibort,

Abstract: The aim of this article is to prove a representation theorem for
orthogonally additive polynomials in the spirit of the recent theorem on
representation of orthogonally additive polynomials on Banach lattices
but for the setting of Riesz spaces. To this purpose the notion of
$p$--orthosymmetric multilinear form is introduced and it is shown
to be equivalent to the or\-tho\-go\-na\-lly additive property of the
corresponding polynomial. Then the space of positive orthogonally additive
polynomials on an Archimedean Riesz space taking values on an uniformly
complete Archimedean Riesz space is shown to be isomorphic to the space
of positive linear forms on the $n$-power in the sense of Boulabiar and
Buskes of the original Riesz space.

terms of the $\ell_p^m(\ell_q^n)$-norm of $(a_{ij})_{i,j}$. Additionally,
for p-stable and standard gaussian random variables we prove estimates
in terms of the $\ell_p^m(\ell_{M_{\xi}}^n)$-norm, $M_{\xi}$ depending
on the Gaussians.  Furthermore, we show that a sequence $\xi_i$,
$i=1,\ldots,n$ of iid $\log-\gamma(1,p)$ distributed random variables
($p\geq 2$) generates a truncated $\ell_p$-norm, especially $\Ex
\max_{i}\abs{a_i\xi_i}\sim \norm{(a_i)_i}_2$ for $p=2$. As far as we
know, the generating distribution for $\ell_p$-norms with $p\geq 2$
has not been known up to now.

This is an announcement for the paper "Oscillation and the mean ergodic
theorem" by Jeremy Avigad and Jason Rute.


Abstract: Let B be a uniformly convex Banach space, let T be a
nonexpansive linear operator, and let A_n x denote the ergodic average
(1/n) sum_{i<n} T^n x. A generalization of the mean ergodic theorem
due to Garrett Birkhoff asserts that the sequence (A_n x) converges,
which is equivalent to saying that for every epsilon > 0, the sequence
has only finitely many fluctuations greater than epsilon. Drawing on
calculations by Kohlenbach and Leustean, we provide a uniform bound
on the number of fluctuations that depends only on rho := || x || /
epsilon and a modulus, eta, of uniform convexity for B. Specifically,
we show that the sequence of averages (A_n x) has O(rho^2 log rho *
eta(1/(8 rho))^{-1})-many epsilon-fluctuations, and if B is a Hilbert
space, the sequence has O(rho^3 log rho)-many epsilon-fluctuations. The
proof is fully explicit, providing a remarkably uniform, quantitative,
and constructive formulation of the mean ergodic theorem.

This is an announcement for the paper "Polygonal equalities and virtual
degeneracy in $L$-spaces" by Casey Kelleher, Daniel Miller, Trenton
Osborn and Anthony Weston.


Abstract: Cases of equality in the classical $p$-negative type
inequalities for $L_{p}(\mu)$-spaces are characterized for each $p \in
(0,2)$ according to a new property called virtual degeneracy. For each
$p \in (0,2)$, this leads to a complete classification of the subsets of
$L_{p}$-spaces that have strict $p$-negative type. It follows that if $0 <
p < q \leq 2$ and if $(\Omega_{1}, \mu_{1})$ and $(\Omega_{2}, \mu_{2})$
are measure spaces, then no subset of $L_{q}(\Omega_{2}, \mu_{2})$ is
isometric to any linear subspace $W$ of $L_{p}(\Omega_{1}, \mu_{1})$
that contains a pair of disjointly supported unit vectors. Under these
circumstances it is also the case that no subset of $L_{q}(\Omega_{2},
\mu_{2})$ is isometric to any subset of $L_{p}(\Omega_{1}, \mu_{1})$
that has non-empty interior. We conclude the paper by examining virtually
degenerate subspaces of $L_{p}(\mu)$-spaces.

Polish groups" by Christian Rosendal.


Abstract: We present a comprehensive theory of boundedness properties
for Polish groups developed with a main focus on Roelcke precompactness
(precompactness of the lower uniformity) and Property (OB) (boundedness of
all isometric actions on separable metric spaces). In particular, these
properties are characterised by the orbit structure of isometric actions
on metric spaces and isometric or continuous affine representations on
separable Banach spaces.

bases and Riesz fusion bases in hilbert spaces" by Mohammad Sadegh Asgari.


Abstract: In this paper we investigate a new notion of bases in Hilbert
spaces and similar to fusion frame theory we introduce fusion bases
theory in Hilbert spaces. We also introduce a new definition of fusion
dual sequence associated with a fusion basis and show that the operators
of a fusion dual sequence are continuous projections. Next we define
the fusion biorthogonal sequence, Bessel fusion basis, Hilbert fusion
basis and obtain some characterizations of them.  we study orthonormal
fusion systems and Riesz fusion bases for Hilbert spaces.  we consider the
stability of fusion bases under small perturbations. We also generalized
a result of Paley-Wiener [13] to the situation of fusion basis.

This is an announcement for the paper "Banach representations and affine
compactifications of dynamical systems" by Eli Glasner and Michael
Megrelishvili.


Abstract: To every Banach space V we associate a compact right
topological affine semigroup E(V). We show that a separable Banach space
V is Asplund if and only if E(V) is metrizable, and it is Rosenthal
(i.e. it does not contain an isomorphic copy of $l_1$) if and only if
E(V) is a Rosenthal compactum. We study representations of compact right
topological semigroups in E(V). In particular, representations of tame
and HNS-semigroups arise naturally as enveloping semigroups of tame and
HNS (hereditarily non-sensitive) dynamical systems, respectively. As an
application we obtain a generalization of a theorem of R. Ellis. A main
theme of our investigation is the relationship between the enveloping
semigroup of a dynamical system X and the enveloping semigroup of its
various affine compactifications Q(X). When the two coincide we say that
the affine compactification Q(X) is E-compatible. This is a refinement of
the notion of injectivity. We show that distal non-equicontinuous systems
do not admit any E-compatible compactification. We present several new
examples of non-injective dynamical systems and examine the relationship
between injectivity and E-compatibility.

This is an announcement for the paper "Spaceability in sets of operators
on $C(K)$" by Rogerio Fajardo, Pedro Kaufmann and Leonardo Pellegrini.


Abstract: We prove that if $K$ is a compact Hausdorff space satisfying
either condition \item $K$ contains a nontrivial convergent sequence,
or \item $C(K)$ is isomorphic to its square, then there exists an
infinite-dimensional closed subspace of the space of operators on $C(K)$,
each nonzero element of which does \emph{not} have the form $gI+S$,
where $g\in C(K)$, $S$ is weakly compact and $I$ is the identity
operator. This comes in contrast with what happens in $C(K)$ spaces
with \emph{few operators} in the sense of Koszmider [P.  Koszmider,
P., Banach spaces of continuous functions with few operators. Math.
Ann. 300 (2004), no. 1, 151 - 183.], which are precisely $C(K)$ spaces
where \emph{every} operator is of the form $gI+S$.
  In addition we show that, in case $C(K)$ has few operators, there is an
opertator $J$ on $C(K\times\{0,1\})=C(K)^2$ such that each operator
on $C(K\times\{0,1\})$ is of the form $gI+hJ+S$, where $g,h\in
C(K\times\{0,1\})$ and $S$ is strictly singular, in connection to a
result by Ferenczi [V.  Ferenczi,Uniqueness of complex structure and
real hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces. Adv. Math. 213 (2007),
no. 1, 462 - 488.].

Abstract: This paper is concerned with an important matrix condition in

demonstrate that testing whether a matrix satisfies RIP is hard for
NP under randomized polynomial-time reductions. Our reduction is from
the NP-complete clique decision problem, and it uses ideas from matroid
theory. As a consequence of our result, it is impossible to efficiently
test for RIP provided NP \not\subseteq BPP, an assumption which is
slightly stronger than P \neq NP.

tending to 0. Then, the set of $x \in X$ such that $\|T^nx\| \geqslant
a_n \|T^n\|$ for infinitely many $n$'s has a complement which is both
$\sigma$-porous and Haar-null. We also compute (for some classical
Banach space) optimal exponents $q>0$, such that for every non nilpotent
operator $T$, there exists $x \in X$ such that $(\|T^nx\|/\|T^n\|)
\notin \ell^{q}(\mathbb{N})$, using techniques which involve the modulus
of asymptotic uniform smoothness of $X$.

Abstract: Let $(\Omega,\Sigma,\mu)$ be a measure space and $1< p <

\bigcup\limits_{1 \leq q < p}L_{q}(\Omega)$ is maximal spaceable, that is,
when it contains (except for the null vector) a closed subspace $F$ of
$L_{p}(\Omega)$ such that $\dim(F) = \dim\left(L_{p}(\Omega)\right)$. The
aim of the results presented here is, among others, to generalize all the
previous work (since the 1960's) related to the linear structure of the
sets $L_{p}(\Omega) - L_{q}(\Omega)$ with $q < p$ and $L_{p}(\Omega) -
\bigcup\limits_{1 \leq q < p}L_{q}(\Omega)$. We shall also give examples,
propose open questions and provide new directions in the study of maximal
subspaces of classical measure spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "Greedy algorithms for reduced
bases in Banach spaces" by Ronald DeVore, Guergana Petrova, and Przemyslaw
Wojtaszczyk.


Abstract: Given a Banach space X and one of its compact sets F,
we consider the problem of finding a good n dimensional space X_n
⊂ X which can be used to approximate the elements of F. The best
possible error we can achieve for such an approximation is given by
the Kolmogorov width d_n(F)_X. However, finding the space which gives
this performance is typically numerically intractable.  Recently, a
new greedy strategy for obtaining good spaces was given in the context
of the reduced basis method for solving a parametric family of PDEs.
The performance of this greedy algorithm was initially analyzed in
A. Buffa, Y.  Maday, A.T. Patera, C. Prud’homme, and G. Turinici,
''A Priori convergence of the greedy algorithm for the parameterized
reduced basis'', M2AN Math. Model.  Numer. Anal., 46(2012), 595–603 in
the case X = H is a Hilbert space. The results there were significantly
improved on in P. Binev, A. Cohen, W. Dahmen, R. DeVore, G. Petrova,
and P. Wojtaszczyk, ''Convergence rates for greedy algorithms in reduced
bases Methods'', SIAM J. Math. Anal., 43 (2011), 1457–1472. The purpose
of the present paper is to give a new analysis of the performance of
such greedy algorithms. Our analysis not only gives improved results
for the Hilbert space case but can also be applied to the same greedy
procedure in general Banach spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "Generalized 3-circular projections
in some Banach spaces" by S Dutta and A B Abubaker.


Abstract: Recently in a series of papers it is observed that in
many Banach spaces, which include classical spaces $C(\Omega)$
and $L_p$-spaces, $1 \leq p < \infty, p \neq 2$, any generalized
bi-circular projection $P$ is given by $P = \frac{I+T}{2}$, where
$I$ is the identity operator of the space and $T$ is a reflection,
that is, $T$ is a surjective isometry with $T^2 = I$. For surjective
isometries of order $n \geq 3$, the corresponding notion of projection
is generalized $n$-circular projection as defined in \cite{AD}. In this
paper we show that in a Banach space $X$, if generalized bi-circular
projections are given by $\frac{I+T}{2}$ where $T$ is a reflection,
then any generalized $n$-circular projection $P$, $n \geq 3$, is given
by $P = \frac{I+T+T^2+\cdots+T^{n-1}}{n}$ where $T$ is a surjective
isometry and $T^n = I$. We prove our results for $n=3$ and for $n > 3$,
the proof remains same except for routine modifications.

Abstract: We prove that for any topological space $X$ of countable
tightness, each \sigma-convex subspace $\F$ of the space $SC_p(X)$
of scatteredly continuous real-valued functions on $X$ has network
weight $nw(\F)\le nw(X)$. This implies that for a metrizable separable
space $X$, each compact convex subset in the function space $SC_p(X)$ is
metrizable. Another corollary says that two Tychonoff spaces $X,Y$ with
countable tightness and topologically isomorphic linear topological spaces
$SC_p(X)$ and $SC_p(Y)$ have the same network weight $nw(X)=nw(Y)$. Also
we prove that each zero-dimensional separable Rosenthal compact
space is homeomorphic to a compact subset of the function space
$SC_p(\omega^\omega)$ over the space $\omega^\omega$ of irrationals.

This is an announcement for the paper "Free and projective Banach
lattices" by B. de Pagter and A.W. Wickstead.


Abstract: We define and prove the existence of free Banach lattices in
the category of Banach lattices and contractive lattice homomorphisms and
establish some of their fundamental properties. We give much more detailed
results about their structure in the case that there are only a finite
number of generators and give several Banach lattice characterizations of
the number of generators being, respectively, one, finite or countable. We
define a Banach lattice $P$ to be projective if whenever $X$ is a Banach
lattice, $J$ a closed ideal in $X$, $Q:X\to X/J$ the quotient map,
$T:P\to X/J$ a linear lattice homomorphism and $\epsilon>0$ there is
a linear lattice homomorphism $\hat{T}:P\to X$ such that (i) $T=Q\circ
\hat{T}$ and (ii) $\|\hat{T}\|\le (1+\epsilon)\|T\|$. We establish the
connection between projective Banach lattices and free Banach lattices
and describe several families of Banach lattices that are projective as
well as proving that some are not.

This is an announcement for the paper "On almost-invariant subspaces
and approximate commutation" by Laurent W. Marcoux, Alexey I. Popov,
and Heydar Radjavi.


Abstract: A closed subspace of a Banach space $\cX$ is almost-invariant
for a collection $\cS$ of bounded linear operators on $\cX$ if for each $T
\in \cS$ there exists a finite-dimensional subspace $\cF_T$ of $\cX$ such
that $T \cY \subseteq \cY + \cF_T$. In this paper, we study the existence
of almost-invariant subspaces of infinite dimension and codimension for
various classes of Banach and Hilbert space operators. We also examine
the structure of operators which admit a maximal commuting family of
almost-invariant subspaces.  In particular, we prove that if $T$ is an
operator on a separable Hilbert space and if $TP-PT$ has finite rank for
all projections $P$ in a given maximal abelian self-adjoint algebra $\fM$
then $T=M+F$ where $M\in\fM$ and $F$ is of finite rank.

This is an announcement for the paper "Spectral envelopes - A preliminary
report" by Wayne Lawton.


Abstract: The spectral envelope S(F) of a subset of integers is the set
of probability measures on the circle group that are weak star limits of
squared moduli of trigonometric polynomials with frequencies in F. Fourier
transforms of these measures are positive and supported in F - F but the
converse generally fails.  The characteristic function chiF of F is a
binary sequence whose orbit closure gives a symbolic dynamical system
O(F). Analytic properties of S(F) are related to dynamical properties
of chiF. The Riemann-Lebesque lemma implies that if chiF is minimal,
then S(F) is convex and hence S(F) is the closure of the convex hull of
its extreme points Se(F). In this paper we (i) review the relationship
between these concepts and the special case of the still open 1959
Kadison-Singer problem called Feichtinger's conjecture for exponential
functions, (ii) partially characterize of elements in Se(F), for minimal
chiF, in terms of ergodic properties of (O(F),lambda) where lambda is a
shift invariant probability measure whose existence in ensured by the 1937
Krylov-Bogoyubov theorem, (iii) refine previous numerical studies of the
Morse-Thue minimal binary sequence by exploiting a new MATLAB algorithm
for computing smallest eigenvalues of 4,000,000 x 4,000,000 matrices,
(iv) describe recent results characterizing S(F) for certain Bohr sets F
related to quasicrystals, (v) extend these concepts to general discrete
groups including those with Kazhdan's T-property, such as SL(n,Z), n >
2, which can be characterized by several equivalent properties such as:
any sequence of positive definite functions converging to 1 uniformly on
compact subsets converges uniformly. This exotic property may be useful
to construct a counterexample to the generalization of Feichtinger's
conjecture and hence to provide a no answer to the question of Kadison
and Singer whcih they themselves tended to suspect.

This is an announcement for the paper "A universal $H_1$-BMO duality
theory for semigroups of operators" by Tao Mei.


Abstract: Let (M,\mu) be a sigma-finite measure space. Let (T_t)
be a semigroup of positive preserving maps on (M,\mu) with standard
assumptions. We prove a $H_1$-BMO duality theory with assumptions only
on the semigroup of operators.  The H1's are defined by square functions
of P. A. Meyer's gradient form. The formulation of the assumptions does
not rely on any geometric/metric property of M nor on the kernel of the
semigroups of operators. Our main results extend to the noncommutative
setting as well, e.g. the case where $L_\infty(M,\mu)$ is replaced by
von Neuman algebras with a semifinite trace. We also prove a Carlson
embedding theorem for semigroups of operators.

Abstract: In this note we prove that $\frac{1}{n!} \sum_{\pi} (

result, i.e., given the Orlicz functions, we provide a formula for the
choice of the matrix that generates the corresponding Musielak-Orlicz
norm. As a consequence, we obtain the embedding of strictly 2-concave
Musielak-Orlicz spaces into L_1.

This is an announcement for the paper "Spaceability and algebrability of
sets of nowhere integrable functions" by Szymon Glab, Pedro L. Kaufmann
and Leonardo Pellegrini.


Abstract: We show that the set of Lebesgue integrable functions
in $[0,1]$ which are nowhere essentially bounded is spaceable,
improving a result from [F. J.  Garc\'{i}a-Pacheco, M. Mart\'{i}n,
and J. B. Seoane-Sep\'ulveda.  \textit{Lineability, spaceability,
and algebrability of certain subsets of function spaces,} Taiwanese
J. Math., \textbf{13} (2009), no. 4, 1257--1269], and that it is strongly
$\mathfrak{c}$-algebrable. We prove strong $\mathfrak{c}$-algebrability
and non-separable spaceability of the set of functions of bounded
variation which have a dense set of jump discontinuities.  Applications to
sets of Lebesgue-nowhere-Riemann integrable and Riemann-nowhere-Newton
integrable functions are presented as corollaries. In addition
we prove that the set of Kurzweil integrable functions which are
not Lebesgue integrable is spaceable (in the Alexievicz norm)
but not $1$-algebrable. We also show that there exists an infinite
dimensional vector space $S$ of differentiable functions such that
each element of the $C([0,1])$-closure of $S$ is a primitive to a
Kurzweil integrable function, in connection to a classic spaceability
result from [V. I. Gurariy, \textit{Subspaces and bases in spaces of
continuous functions (Russian),} Dokl.  Akad. Nauk SSSR, \textbf{167}
(1966), 971--973].

Abstract: We prove a vector-valued version of Carleson's theorem:
Let Y=[X,H]_t be a complex interpolation space between a UMD space
X and a Hilbert space H. For p\in(1,\infty) and f\in L^p(T;Y), the
partial sums of the Fourier series of f converge to f pointwise almost
everywhere. Apparently, all known examples of UMD spaces are of this
intermediate form Y=[X,H]_t. In particular, we answer affirmatively a
question of Rubio de Francia on the pointwise convergence of Fourier
series of Schatten class valued functions.

Abstract: We show that the expected value of the mean width of a random

uniformly distributed in an isotropic convex body in $\R^n$ is of
the order $\sqrt{\log N} L_K$. This completes a result of Dafnis,
Giannopoulos and Tsolomitis. We also prove some results in connection
with the 1-dimensional marginals of the uniform probability measure on
an isotropic convex body, extending the interval in which the average
of the distribution functions of those marginals behaves in a sub-
or supergaussian way.

July 16 - 19 there will be a Concentration Week on "Frame Theory and Maps 
Between Operator Algebras",
organized by Chris Heil, Emily J. King (chair), Keri Kornelson, and Darrin 
Speegle.  A researcher working in frame theory will naturally be led to 
consider matrices (the Gram matrix, the analysis operator and the 
synthesis operator), and many problems in frame theory have a re-casting 
in operator theory.  The most celebrated example of this is the 
Kadison-Singer problem.  By now, there are many mathematicians familiar 
with the basics of the two areas, and there is a fruitful collaboration. 
Less obvious is the relationship between frame theory and maps between 
operator algebras.  Very recent work in this area by Han, Larson, Lu, and 
Lu indicate that this may be a relationship that is ripe for exploiting. 
The goal of this concentration week is to bring together researchers in 
these two fields so that they may learn from one another and build 
networks of potential collaborators.  There will be introductory series of 
talks on "Frame theory" by Ole Christensen, on "Maps on Operator Algebras" 
by Vern Paulsen, and on "Bridging the Gap Between Frame Theory and Maps on 
Operator Algebras" by Deguang Han.  This concentration week will also lead 
into a separate conference on the following weekend celebrating the 70th 
birthday of David Larson. The home page for this Workshop is at

http://page.math.tu-berlin.de/~king/cw.html

August 6-10 there will be a Concentration Week on "Recent advances in 
Harmonic Analysis and Spectral Theory",
organized by Andrew Comech, David Damanik, Constanze Liaw (chair), and 
Alexei Poltoratski.  This CW is designed to bring together two  groups of 
experts: those specializing in complex and harmonic analysis and those 
working in spectral theory of differential operators and mathematical 
physics. The main goals of the CW are to study new relationships and to 
widen further participation in this area in the United States. 
Introductory series of lectures by Stephen Gustafson, Svetlana 
Jitomirskaya, Helge Krueger, and Brett Wick are planned
to acquaint non-experts with these topics with the reasonable expectation 
that some the  participants in the larger Workshop will will be attracted 
to this program and inject new ideas into the area.
The home page for this Workshop is at

http://www.math.tamu.edu/~comech/events/hast-2012/

The Workshop is supported in part by grants from the National Science 
Foundation (NSF). Minorities, women, graduate students, and young 
researchers are especially encouraged to attend.

This is an announcement for the paper "Restricted Invertibility and the
Banach-Mazur distance to the cube" by Pierre Youssef.


Abstract: We prove a normalized version of the restricted invertibility
principle obtained by Spielman-Srivastava. Applying this result, we
get a new proof of the proportional Dvoretzky-Rogers factorization
theorem recovering the best current estimate. As a consequence, we
also recover the best known estimate for the Banach-Mazur distance
to the cube: the distance of every n-dimensional normed space from
\ell_{\infty }^n is at most (2n)^(5/6). Finally, using tools from the
work of Batson-Spielman-Srivastava, we give a new proof for a theorem
of Kashin-Tzafriri on the norm of restricted matrices.

This is an announcement for the paper "New examples of K-monotone weighted
Banach couples" by Sergey V. Astashkin, Lech Maligranda and Konstantin
E. Tikhomirov.


Abstract: Some new examples of K-monotone couples of the type (X,
X(w)), where X is a symmetric space on [0, 1] and w is a weight on [0,
1], are presented. Based on the property of the w-decomposability of a
symmetric space we show that, if a weight w changes sufficiently fast,
all symmetric spaces X with non-trivial Boyd indices such that the Banach
couple (X, X(w)) is K-monotone belong to the class of ultrasymmetric
Orlicz spaces. If, in addition, the fundamental function of X is t^{1/p}
for some p \in [1, \infty], then X = L_p. At the same time a Banach
couple (X, X(w)) may be K-monotone for some non-trivial w in the case
when X is not ultrasymmetric. In each of the cases where X is a Lorentz,
Marcinkiewicz or Orlicz space we have found conditions which guarantee
that (X, X(w)) is K-monotone.

Abstract: We present a reflexive Banach space
$\mathfrak{X}_{_{^\text{usm}}}$ which is Hereditarily
Indecomposable and satisfies the following properties. In every
subspace $Y$ of $\mathfrak{X}_{_{^\text{usm}}}$ there exists
a weakly null normalized sequence $\{y_n\}_n$, such that every
subsymmetric sequence $\{z_n\}_n$ is isomorphically generated
as a spreading model of a subsequence of $\{y_n\}_n$. Also,
in every block subspace $Y$ of $\mathfrak{X}_{_{^\text{usm}}}$
there exists a seminormalized block sequence $\{z_n\}$ and
$T:\mathfrak{X}_{_{^\text{usm}}}\rightarrow\mathfrak{X}_{_{^\text{usm}}}$
an isomorphism such that for every $n\in\mathbb{N}$ $T(z_{2n-1}) =
z_{2n}$. Thus the space is an example of an HI space which is not tight
by range in a strong sense.

This is an announcement for the paper "Pointwise multipliers of
Calder\'on-Lozanovskii spaces" by Pawel Kolwicz, Karol Lesnik, and
Lech Maligranda.


Abstract: Several results concerning multipliers of symmetric Banach
function spaces are presented firstly. Then the results on multipliers of
Calder\'on-Lozanovskii spaces are proved. We investigate assumptions on
a Banach ideal space E and three Young functions \varphi_1, \varphi_2
and \varphi, generating the corresponding Calder\'on-Lozanovskii
spaces E_{\varphi_1}, E_{\varphi_2}, E_{\varphi} so that the space
of multipliers M(E_{\varphi_1}, E_{\varphi}) of all measurable x
such that x,y \in E_{\varphi} for any y \in E_{\varphi_1} can be
identified with E_{\varphi_2}. Sufficient conditions generalize earlier
results by Ando, O'Neil, Zabreiko-Rutickii, Maligranda-Persson and
Maligranda-Nakai. There are also necessary conditions on functions for
the embedding M(E_{\varphi_1}, E_{\varphi}) \subset E_{\varphi_2} to
be true, which already in the case when E = L^1, that is, for Orlicz
spaces M(L^{\varphi_1}, L^{\varphi}) \subset L^{\varphi_2} give a
solution of a problem raised in the book [Ma89]. Some properties of a
generalized complementary operation on Young functions, defined by Ando,
are investigated in order to show how to construct the function \varphi_2
such that M(E_{\varphi_1}, E_{\varphi}) = E_{\varphi_2}. There are also
several examples of independent interest.

This is an announcement for the paper "Convergence in shape of Steiner
symmetrizations" by Gabriele Bianchi, Almut Burchard, Paolo Gronchi,
and Aljosa Volcic.


Abstract: There are sequences of directions such that, given any compact
set K in R^n, the sequence of iterated Steiner symmetrals of K in these
directions converges to a ball. However examples show that Steiner
symmetrization along a sequence of directions whose differences are
square summable does not generally converge. (Note that this may happen
even with sequences of directions which are dense in S^{n-1}.) Here we
show that such sequences converge in shape. The limit need not be an
ellipsoid or even a convex set.
  We also deal with uniformly distributed sequences of directions,
and with a recent result of Klain on Steiner symmetrization along
sequences chosen from a finite set of directions.

This is an announcement for the paper "Linear selections of superlinear
set-valued maps with some applications to analysis" by Dmitry V. Rutsky.


Abstract: A. Ya. Zaslavskii's results on the existence of a linear
(affine) selection for a linear (affine) or superlinear (convex) map
$\Phi : K \to 2^Y$ defined on a convex cone (convex set) $K$ having the
interpolation property are extended.  We prove that they hold true under
more general conditions on the values of the mapping and study some other
properties of the selections. This leads to a characterization of Choquet
simplexes in terms of the existence of continuous affine selections for
arbitrary continuous convex maps. A few applications to analysis are
given, including a construction that leads to the existence of a (not
necessarily bounded) solution for the corona problem in polydisk $\mathbb
D^n$ with radial boundary values that are bounded almost everywhere on
$\mathbb T^n$.

Abstract: Under certain hypotheses on the Banach space $X$, we show that

Aron-Berner extensions are norm attaining, is dense in the space of all
continuous $N$-homogeneous polynomials. To this end we prove an integral
formula for the duality between tensor products and polynomials. We
also exhibit examples of Lorentz sequence spaces for which there is
no polynomial Bishop-Phelps theorem, but our results apply. Finally
we address quantitative versions, in the sense of Bollob\'as, of these
results.

Abstract: A natural class of ideals, super-ideals, of Banach spaces
is defined and studied. The motivation for working with this class of
subspaces is our observations that they inherit diameter 2 properties and
the Daugavet property.  Lindenstrauss spaces are known to be the class of
Banach spaces which are ideals in every superspace; we show that being a
super-ideal in every superspace characterizes the class of Gurarii spaces.

Abstract: We study the classical spaces $L_{p}$ and $\ell_{p}$ for the

Lipschitz embeddability roadmap between any two of those spaces when
equipped with both their ad-hoc distances and their snowflakings. Through
connections with weaker forms of embeddings that lead to basic
(yet fundamental) open problems, we also set the challenging goal
of understanding the dissimilarities between the well-known subspace
structure and the different nonlinear geometries that coexist inside
$L_{p}$ and $\ell_{p}$.

Abstract: Given a convex body C in R^d we construct a polytope P in C

C and C in (1+epsilon) P one can choose P having roughly epsilon^{-d/2}
vertices and for P in C and C in sqrt{epsilon d} P one can choose P
having roughly d^{1/epsilon} vertices.  Similarly, we prove that if
C in R^d is a convex body such that -C in mu C for some mu > 1 then
to have P in C and C in (1+epsilon)P one can choose P having roughly
(mu/epsilon)^{d/2} vertices.

This is an announcement for the paper "The ideal of weakly compactly
generated operators acting on a Banach space" by Tomasz Kania and Tomasz

Abstract: We call a bounded linear operator acting between Banach spaces
weakly compactly generated ($\mathsf{WCG}$ for short) if its range is
contained in a weakly compactly generated subspace of its codomain. This
notion simultaneously generalises being weakly compact and having
separable range. In a comprehensive study of the class of $\mathsf{WCG}$
operators, we prove that it forms a closed surjective operator ideal
and investigate its relations to other classical operator ideals. By
considering the $p$th long James space $\mathcal{J}_p(\omega_1)$, we
show how properties of the ideal of $\mathsf{WCG}$ operators (such
as being the unique maximal ideal) may be used to derive results
outside ideal theory. For instance, we identify the $K_0$-group of
$\mathscr{B}(\mathcal{J}_p(\omega_1))$ as the additive group of integers.

Abstract: We suggest a concept of generalized `angles' in arbitrary real
normed vector spaces.  We give for each real number a definition of an
`angle' by means of the shape of the unit ball.  They all yield the well
known Euclidean angle in the special case of real inner product spaces.
With these different angles we achieve a classification of normed spaces,
and we obtain a characterization of inner product spaces. Finally we
consider this construction also for a generalization of normed spaces,
i.e. for spaces which may have a non-convex unit ball.

This is an announcement for the paper "There exist multilinear
Bohnenblust--Hille constants $(C_{n})_{n=1}^{\infty}$ with $\displaystyle
\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}(C_{n+1}-C_{n}) =0.$" by Daniel Pellegrino,
Juan Seoane-Sepulveda and Diana M. Serrano-Rodriguez.


Abstract: After almost 80 decades of dormancy, the Bohnenblust--Hille
inequalities have experienced an effervescence of new results and
sightly applications in the last years. The multilinear version of the
Bohnenblust--Hille inequality asserts that for every positive integer
$m\geq1$ there exists a sequence of positive constants $C_{m}\geq1$ such
that% \[ \left( \sum\limits_{i_{1},\ldots,i_{m}=1}^{N}\left\vert
U(e_{i_{^{1}}}% ,\ldots,e_{i_{m}})\right\vert
^{\frac{2m}{m+1}}\right) ^{\frac{m+1}{2m}}\leq
C_{m}\sup_{z_{1},\ldots,z_{m}\in\mathbb{D}^{N}}\left\vert
U(z_{1},\ldots ,z_{m})\right\vert \] for all $m$-linear forms
$U:\mathbb{C}^{N}\times\cdots\times\mathbb{C}% ^{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{C}$
and positive integers $N$ (the same holds with slightly different
constants for real scalars). The first estimates obtained for $C_{m}$
showed exponential growth but, only very recently, a striking new
panorama emerged: the polynomial Bohnenblust--Hille inequality is
hypercontractive and the multilinear Bohnenblust--Hille inequality
is subexponential. Despite all recent advances, the existence of a
family of constants $\left( C_{m}\right) _{m=1}^{\infty}$ so that \[
\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\left( C_{n+1}-C_{n}\right) =0 \] has not been
proved yet. The main result of this paper proves that such constants
do exist.  As a consequence of this, we obtain new information on the
optimal constants $\left( K_{n}\right) _{n=1}^{\infty}$ satisfying
the multilinear Bohnenblust--Hille inequality. Let $\gamma$ be
Euler's famous constant; for any $\varepsilon>0$, we show that \[
K_{n+1}-K_{n}\leq\left( 2\sqrt{2}-4e^{\frac{1}{2}\gamma-1}\right)
n^{\log_{2}\left( 2^{-3/2}e^{1-\frac{1}{2}\gamma}\right) +\varepsilon},
\] for infinitely many $n$. Numerically, choosing a small $\varepsilon$,
\[ K_{n+1}-K_{n}\leq0.8646\left( \frac{1}{n}\right) ^{0.4737}% \] for
infinitely many $n.$

bounded by the best N- term error of approximation times a function of N
which depends on the democracy functions and the quasi-greedy constant
of the basis. If the basis is democratic this function is bounded
by C logN. We show with two examples that this bound is attained for
quasi-greedy democratic bases.

This is an announcement for the paper "Compactness and an approximation
property related to an operator ideal" by Anil Kumar Karn and Deba
Prasad Sinha.


Abstract: For an operator ideal $\mathcal A$, we study the
composition operator ideals ${\mathcal A}\circ{\mathcal K}$, ${\mathcal
K}\circ{\mathcal A}$ and ${\mathcal K}\circ{\mathcal A}\circ{\mathcal
K}$, where $\mathcal K$ is the ideal of compact operators. We introduce
a notion of an $\mathcal A$-approximation property on a Banach space
and characterise it in terms of the density of finite rank operators in
${\mathcal A}\circ{\mathcal K}$ and ${\mathcal K}\circ{\mathcal A}$.
  We propose the notions of $\ell _{\infty}$-extension and $\ell_1$-lifting
properties for an operator ideal $\mathcal A$ and study ${\mathcal
A}\circ{\mathcal K}$, ${\mathcal }\circ{\mathcal A}$ and the $\mathcal
A$-approximation property where $\mathcal A$ is injective or surjective
and/or with the $\ell _{\infty}$-extension or $\ell _1$-lifting
property. In particular, we show that if $\mathcal A$ is an injective

{\item{(a)} $X$ has the $\mathcal A$-approximation property if and

for all Banach spaces $Y$.  \item{(b)} The dual space $X^*$ has
the $\mathcal A$-approximation property if and only if $(({\mathcal
A}^{dual})^{min})^{sur}(X,Y)=({\mathcal A}^{dual})^{min}(X,Y)$, for
all Banach spaces $Y$.}For an operator ideal $\mathcal A$, we study the
composition operator ideals ${\mathcal A}\circ{\mathcal K}$,

This is an announcement for the paper "The one-third-trick and shift
operators" by Richard Lechner.


Abstract: In this paper we obtain a representation as martingale
transform operators for the rearrangement and shift operators introduced
by T. Figiel. The martingale transforms and the underlying sigma algebras
are obtained explicitly by combinatorial means. The known norm estimates
for those operators are a direct consequence of our representation.

This is an announcement for the paper "An undecidable case of lineability
in R^R" by Jose Luis Gamez-Merino and Juan B. Seoane-Sepulveda.


Abstract: Recently it has been proved that, assuming that there is an
almost disjoint family of cardinality \(2^{\mathfrak c}\) in \(\mathfrak
c\) (which is assured, for instance, by either Martin's Axiom, or CH,
or even \mbox{$2^{<\mathfrak c}=\mathfrak c$}) one has that the set of
Sierpi\'nski-Zygmund functions is \(2^{\mathfrak{c}}\)-strongly algebrable
(and, thus, \(2^{\mathfrak{c}}\)-lineable). Here we prove that these
two statements are actually equivalent and, moreover, they both are
undecidable. This would be the first time in which one encounters an
undecidable proposition in the recently coined theory of lineability.

Dear Colleagues,

      As you might have read in the recent notices of the AMS, we are
organizing
a  Special Session "Separate versus Joint Continuity - a tribute to Prof.
I.
Namioka" during the AMS Central
Fall Sectional Meeting at the University of Akron, OH, October 20-21, 2012.

      In celebration of the coming 50th anniversary of the appearance of
his
monumental "Linear topological spaces", on Friday afternoon, October 19 (a
day
before the Akron Meeting) we want to honor Prof. Namioka by slating a
mathematical gathering at Kent State University (a different location!) and
we
hope you can make it. We have contacted Prof. I. Namioka and he has kindly
agreed to give a talk at Friday's meeting.

     We warmly invite you to attend these special events, both at KSU and
Akron.
We have a very limited number of slots available for a 20 minute
presentation,
so if you are interested in giving a talk/announcment please contact us
ASAP.
Regardless, whether you give a talk or not, we hope you can attend.

  On behalf of the Special Session Organizing Committee

    Dr. Zbigniew Piotrowski

August 6-10 there will be a Concentration Week on "Recent advances in 
Harmonic Analysis and Spectral Theory",
organized by Andrew Comech, David Damanik, Constanze Liaw (chair), and 
Alexei Poltoratski.  This CW is designed to bring together two  groups of 
experts: those specializing in complex and harmonic analysis and those 
working in spectral theory of differential operators and mathematical 
physics. The main goals of the CW are to study new relationships and to 
widen further participation in this area in the United States. 
Introductory series of lectures by Stephen Gustafson, Svetlana 
Jitomirskaya, Helge Krueger, and Brett Wick are planned
to acquaint non-experts with these topics with the reasonable expectation 
that some the  participants in the larger Workshop will will be attracted 
to this program and inject new ideas into the area.
The home page for this Workshop is at

http://www.math.tamu.edu/~comech/events/hast-2012/

The Workshop is supported in part by grants from the National Science 
Foundation (NSF). Minorities, women, graduate students, and young 
researchers are especially encouraged to attend.

For logistical support, including requests for support, please contact 
Cara Barton <cara at math.tamu.edu>.  For more information on the Workshop 
itself, please contact William Johnson <johnson at math.tamu.edu>, David Kerr

Abstract: We provide a partial answer to the question of Vladimir Kadets
whether given an $\mathcal F$-basis of a~Banach space $X$, with respect
to some filter $\mathcal F\subset \mathcal P(\mathbb N)$, the coordinate
functionals are continuous. The answer is positive if the character of
$\mathcal F$ is less than $\mathfrak{p}$. In this case every $\mathcal
F$-basis with individual brackets is an $M$-basis with brackets determined
by a set from $\mathcal F$.

This is an announcement for the paper "An operator summability of
sequences in Banach spaces" by Anil Kumar Karn and Deba Prasad Sinha.


Abstract: Let $1 \leq p <\infty$. A sequence $\lef x_n \rig$ in a Banach
space $X$ is defined to be $p$-operator summable if for each $\lef f_n
\rig \in l^{w^*}_p(X^*)$, we have $\lef \lef f_n(x_k)\rig _k \rig _n
\in l^s_p(l_p)$.  Every norm $p$-summable sequence in a Banach space is
operator $p$-summable, while in its turn every operator $p$-summable
sequence is weakly $p$-summable.  An operator $T \in B(X, Y)$ is said
to be $p$-limited if for every $\lef x_n \rig \in l_p^w(X)$, $\lef Tx_n
\rig$ is operator $p$-summable. The set of all $p$-limited operators
form a normed operator ideal. It is shown that every weakly $p$-summable
sequence in $X$ is operator $p$-summable if and only if every operator
$T \in B(X, l_p)$ is $p$-absolutely summing. On the other hand every
operator $p$-summable sequence in $X$ is norm $p$-summable if and only if
every $p$-limited operator in $B(l_{p'}, X)$ is absolutely $p$-summing.
Moreover, this is the case if and only if $X$ is a subspace of $L_p(\mu )$
for some Borel measure $\mu$.

Abstract: We prove that if continuum is not a Kunen cardinal, then there

does not embed isometrically into $\ell_\infty/c_0$. We prove a similar
result for isomorphic embeddings. We also construct a consistent example
of a uniform Eberlein compactum whose space of continuous functions
embeds isomorphically into $\ell_\infty/c_0$, but fails to embed
isometrically. As far as we know it is the first example of this kind.

Abstract: We give a simple argument to show that if {\alpha} is an affine

Banach space X with linear part {\pi}, then either {\pi}(H) fixes a
unit vector or {\alpha}|G almost fixes a point on X. It follows that any
affine isometric action of an abelian group on a reflexive Banach space
X, whose linear part fixes no unit vectors, almost fixes points on X.

This is an announcement for the paper "Large structures made of
nowhere $L^p$ functions" by Szymon Glab, Pedro L. Kaufmann and Leonardo

Abstract: We say that a real-valued function $f$ defined on a
positive Borel measure space $(X,\mu)$ is nowhere $q$-integrable if,
for each nonvoid open subset $U$ of $X$, the restriction $f|_U$ is
not in $L^q(U)$. When $X$ is a Polish space and $\mu$ satisfies some
natural properties, we show that certain sets of functions which are
$p$-integrable for some $p$'s but nowhere $q$-integrable for some other
$q$'s ($0<p,q<\infty$) admit large linear and algebraic structures within
them. In our Polish space context, the presented results answer a question
from Bernal-Gonz\'alez [L. Bernal-Gonz\'alez, Algebraic genericity and
strict-order integrability, Studia Math. 199(3)(2010), 279--293], and
improves and complements results of several authors.

generalized Triebel-Lizorkin spaces" by Peer Christian Kunstmann and

Abstract: We introduce a notion of generalized Triebel-Lizorkin spaces
associated with sectorial operators in Banach function spaces. Our
approach is based on holomorphic functional calculus techniques. Using the
concept of $\mathcal{R}_s$-sectorial operators, which in turn is based on
the notion of $\mathcal{R}_s$-bounded sets of operators introduced by Lutz
Weis, we obtain a neat theory including equivalence of various norms and
a precise description of real and complex interpolation spaces. Another
main result of this article is that an $\mathcal{R}_s$-sectorial operator
always has a bounded $H^\infty$-functional calculus in its associated
generalized Triebel-Lizorkin spaces.

implicit equation for the norm of the dual of Tsirelson space given by

the dual of any mixed Tsirelson space. In particular, our results can
be adapted to give the norm for the dual of Schlumprecht space.

Abstract: Nonlinear spectral gaps with respect to uniformly convex

establishes their decay along Ces\`aro averages. Nonlinear spectral
gaps of graphs are also shown to behave sub-multiplicatively under
zigzag products. These results yield a combinatorial construction of

admit a coarse embedding into any uniformly convex normed space.

Abstract: Given a strictly increasing sequence $\Lambda=(\lambda_n)$
of nonegative real numbers, with $\sum_{n=1}^\infty
\frac{1}{\lambda_n}<\infty$, the M\"untz spaces $M_\Lambda^p$ are defined
as the closure in $L^p([0,1])$ of the monomials $x^{\lambda_n}$. We
discuss how properties of the embedding $M_\Lambda^2\subset L^2(\mu)$,
where $\mu$ is a finite positive Borel measure on the interval $[0,1]$,
have immediate consequences for composition operators on $M^2_\Lambda$. We
give criteria for composition operators to be bounded, compact, or to
belong to the Schatten--von Neumann ideals.

This is an announcement for the paper "Pisier's inequality revisited"
by Tuomas Hytonen and Assaf Naor.


Abstract: Given a Banach space $X$, for $n\in \mathbb N$ and $p\in
(1,\infty)$ we investigate the smallest constant $\mathfrak P\in
(0,\infty)$ for which every $f_1,\ldots,f_n:\{-1,1\}^n\to X$
satisfy \begin{multline*} \int_{\{-1,1\}^n}\Bigg\|\sum_{j=1}^n
\partial_jf_j(\varepsilon)\Bigg\|^pd\mu(\varepsilon)\\\le
\mathfrak{P}^p\int_{\{-1,1\}^n}\int_{\{-1,1\}^n}\Bigg\|\sum_{j=1}^n
\d_j\Delta f_j(\varepsilon)\Bigg\|^pd\mu(\varepsilon) d\mu(\delta),
\end{multline*} where $\mu$ is the uniform probability measure on
the discrete hypercube $\{-1,1\}^n$ and $\{\partial_j\}_{j=1}^n$ and
$\Delta=\sum_{j=1}^n\partial_j$ are the hypercube partial derivatives
and the hypercube Laplacian, respectively.  Denoting this constant
by $\mathfrak{P}_p^n(X)$, we show that $\mathfrak{P}_p^n(X)\le
\sum_{k=1}^{n}\frac{1}{k}$ for every Banach space $(X,\|\cdot\|)$. This
extends the classical Pisier inequality, which corresponds to the special
case $f_j=\Delta^{-1}\partial_j f$ for some $f:\{-1,1\}^n\to X$. We show
that $\sup_{n\in \N}\mathfrak{P}_p^n(X)<\infty$ if either the dual $X^*$
is a $\mathrm{UMD}^+$ Banach space, or for some $\theta\in (0,1)$ we have
$X=[H,Y]_\theta$, where $H$ is a Hilbert space and $Y$ is an arbitrary
Banach space. It follows that $\sup_{n\in \N}\mathfrak{P}_p^n(X)<\infty$
if $X$ is a Banach lattice of finite cotype.

theorem for vector-valued functions" by Tuomas P. Hytonen and Antti

Abstract: We extend the local non-homogeneous Tb theorem of Nazarov, Treil
and Volberg to the setting of singular integrals with operator-valued
kernel that act on vector-valued functions. Here, `vector-valued'
means `taking values in a function lattice with the UMD (unconditional
martingale differences) property'.  A similar extension (but for general
UMD spaces rather than UMD lattices) of Nazarov-Treil-Volberg's global
non-homogeneous Tb theorem was achieved earlier by the first author,
and it has found applications in the work of Mayboroda and Volberg on
square-functions and rectifiability. Our local version requires several
elaborations of the previous techniques, and raises new questions about
the limits of the vector-valued theory.

Abstract: Let n>2 and X be a Banach space of dimension strictly greater
than n. We show there exists a directionally porous set P in X for which
the set of C^1 surfaces of dimension n meeting P in positive measure is
not meager. If X is separable this leads to a decomposition of X into
a countable union of directionally porous sets and a set which is null
on residually many C^1 surfaces of dimension n. This is of interest
in the study of certain classes of null sets used to investigate
differentiability of Lipschitz functions on Banach spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the hypercontractivity of the
polynomial Bohnenblust--Hille inequality" by Daniel Pellegrino and Juan
B. Seoane-Sepulveda.


Abstract: Recently, it was proved that the polynomial Bohnenblust--Hille
inequality is hypercontractive, i.e., there is a constant $C>1$
(from now on called constant of hypercontractivity) so that
$\frac{D_{m}}{D_{m-1}}=C$ for every $m$, where $D_{m}$ are constants
satisfying the polynomial Bohnenblust--Hille inequality.  For the
case of multilinear mappings a recent result shows that $\lim
_{m\rightarrow\infty}\frac{C_{m}}{C_{m-1}}=1$, where $C_{m}$ are
constants satisfying the multilinear Bohnenblust--Hille inequality. So
it is natural to wonder if there exist constants $D_{m}$'s such that
$\lim_{m\rightarrow\infty}\frac{D_{m}% }{D_{m-1}}=1$. In this note we
provide lower estimates for the polynomial Bohnenblust--Hille inequality
with strong numerical evidence supporting that it is not possible to
obtain such $D_{m}.$ Besides the qualitative information, and to the
best of our knowledge, this is the first time in which non-trivial lower
bounds for the constants of the polynomial Bohnenblust--Hille inequality
are presented. We also show that the constant of hypercontractivity $C$
is so that $1.1542\leq C\leq1.8529$, providing as well explicit formulae
to improve the lower estimate $1.1542.$ It is our belief that variations
of the ideas introduced in this paper can be used for the search of the
optimal constants for the polynomial Bohnenblust--Hille inequality.

Abstract: The paper is devoted to proofs of the following three
results. Theorem A. For $1 < p < 2$ every non-Enflo operator $T$ on $L_p$
is narrow. Theorem B. For $1 < p < 2$ every operator $T$ on $L_p$ which
is unbounded from below on $L_p(A)$, $A \subseteq [0,1]$, by means of
function having a ``gentle'' growth, is narrow. Theorem C. For $2 < p,
r < \infty$ every operator $T: L_p\rightarrow\ell_r$ is narrow.
  Theorem A was mentioned by Bourgain in 1981, as a result that can
be deduced from the proof of a related result in
Johnson-Maurey-Schechtman-Tzafriri's book, but the proof from there
needed several modifications. Theorems B and C are new results. We also
discuss related open problems.

Abstract: Reflexive cones in Banach spaces are cones with weakly compact
intersection with the unit ball. In this paper we study the structure of
this class of cones. We investigate the relations between the notion of
reflexive cones and the properties of their bases. This allows us to prove
a characterization of reflexive cones in term of the absence of a subcone
isomorphic to the positive cone of \ell_{1}. Moreover, the properties
of some specific classes of reflexive cones are investigated. Namely,
we consider the reflexive cones such that the intersection with the
unit ball is norm compact, those generated by a Schauder basis and the
reflexive cones regarded as ordering cones in a Banach spaces. Finally,
it is worth to point out that a characterization of reflexive spaces and
also of the Schur spaces by the properties of reflexive cones is given.

This is an announcement for the paper "The road to deterministic matrices
with the restricted isometry property" by Afonso S. Bandeira, Matthew
Fickus, Dustin G. Mixon and Percy Wong.


Abstract: The restricted isometry property (RIP) is a well-known matrix
condition that provides state-of-the-art reconstruction guarantees
for compressed sensing.  While random matrices are known to satisfy
this property with high probability, deterministic constructions have
found less success. In this paper, we consider various techniques for
demonstrating RIP deterministically, some popular and some novel, and
we evaluate their performance. In evaluating some techniques, we apply
random matrix theory and inadvertently find a simple alternative proof
that certain random matrices are RIP. Later, we propose a particular class
of matrices as candidates for being RIP, namely, equiangular tight frames
(ETFs).  Using the known correspondence between real ETFs and strongly
regular graphs, we investigate certain combinatorial implications of a
real ETF being RIP.  Specifically, we give probabilistic intuition for
a new bound on the clique number of Paley graphs of prime order, and we
conjecture that the corresponding ETFs are RIP in a manner similar to
random matrices.

This is an announcement for the paper "Upper and lower estimates for
Schauder frames and atomic decompositions" by Kevin Beanland, Daniel
Freeman, and Rui Liu.


Abstract: We prove that a Schauder frame for any separable Banach space
is shrinking if and only if it has an associated space with a shrinking
basis, and that a Schauder frame for any separable Banach space is
shrinking and boundedly complete if and only if it has a reflexive
associated space. To obtain these results, we prove that the upper and
lower estimate theorems for finite dimensional decompositions of Banach
spaces can be extended and modified to Schauder frames. We show as well
that if a separable infinite dimensional Banach space has a Schauder
frame, then it also has a Schauder frame which is not shrinking.

Abstract: Lower estimates are obtained for the macroscopic scale of
affine approximability of vector-valued Lipschitz functions on finite
dimensional normed spaces, completing the work of Bates, Johnson,
Lindenstrass, Preiss and Schechtman. This yields a new approach to
Bourgain's discretization theorem for superreflexive targets.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the minimal space problem and
a new result on existence of basic sequences in quasi-Banach spaces"
by Cleon S. Barroso.


Abstract: We prove that if $X$ is a quasi-normed space which possesses
an infinite countable dimensional subspace with a separating dual, then
it admits a strictly weaker Hausdorff vector topology. Such a topology
is constructed explicitly. As an immediate consequence, we obtain an
improvement of a well-known result of Kalton-Shapiro and Drewnowski by
showing that a quasi-Banach space contains a basic sequence if and only
if it contains an infinite countable dimensional subspace whose dual is
separating. We also use this result to highlight a new feature of the
minimal quasi-Banach space constructed by Kalton. Namely, which all of
its $\aleph_0$-dimensional subspaces fail to have a separating family
of continuous linear functionals.

       	 	    	      Texas A&M University
         		      	   Summer 2012

The Summer 2012 Workshop in Analysis and  Probability at Texas A&M 
University will be in session from July 2  until August 10, 2012.  For 
information about the Workshop, consult the Workshop Home Page, whose NEW 
URL is

The Informal Regional Functional Analysis Seminar (SUMIRFAS) will be held 
August 3-5.

July 16 - 19 there will be a Concentration Week on "Frame Theory and Maps 
Between Operator Algebras",
organized by Chris Heil, Emily J. King (chair), Keri Kornelson, David 
Larson (local organizer), and Darrin Speegle.  A researcher working in 
frame theory will naturally be led to consider matrices (the Gram matrix, 
the analysis operator and the synthesis operator), and many problems in 
frame theory have a re-casting in operator theory.  The most celebrated 
example of this is the Kadison-Singer problem.  By now, there are many 
mathematicians familiar with the basics of the two areas, and there is a 
fruitful collaboration.  Less obvious is the relationship between frame 
theory and maps between operator algebras.  Very recent work in this area 
by Han, Larson, Lu, and Lu indicate that this may be a relationship that 
is ripe for exploiting.  The goal of this concentration week is to bring 
together researchers in these two fields so that they may learn from one 
another and build networks of potential collaborators.  There will be 
introductory series of talks on "Frame theory" by Ole Christensen, on 
"Maps on Operator Algebras" by Vern Paulsen, and on "Bridging the Gap 
Between Frame Theory and Maps on Operator Algebras" by Deguang Han.  This 
concentration week will also lead into a separate conference on the 
following weekend celebrating the 70th birthday of David Larson. The home 
page for this Workshop is at

http://page.math.tu-berlin.de/~king/cw.html

August 6-10 there will be a Concentration Week on "Recent advances in 
Harmonic Analysis and Spectral Theory",
organized by Andrew Comech, David Damanik, Constanze Liaw (chair), and 
Alexei Poltoratski.  This CW is designed to bring together two  groups of 
experts: those specializing in complex and harmonic analysis and those 
working in spectral theory of differential operators and mathematical 
physics. The main goals of the CW are to study new relationships and to 
widen further participation in this area in the United States. 
Introductory series of lectures by Stephen Gustafson, Svetlana 
Jitomirskaya (to be confirmed), Helge Krueger, and Brett Wick are planned 
to acquaint non-experts with these topics with the reasonable expectation 
that some the  participants in the larger Workshop will be attracted to 
this program and inject new ideas into the area.
The home page for this Workshop is at

http://www.math.tamu.edu/~comech/events/hast-2012/

The Workshop is supported in part by grants from the National Science 
Foundation (NSF). Minorities, women, graduate students, and young 
researchers are especially encouraged to attend.

Abstract: A refinement of so-called fast Johnson-Lindenstrauss
transform, due to Ailon and Chazelle (2006), and Matou\v{s}ek (2008),
is proposed. While it preserves the time efficiency and simplicity
of implementation of the original construction, it reduces randomness
used to generate the random transformation.  In the analysis of the
construction two auxiliary results are established which might be
of independent interest: a Bernstein-type inequality for a sum of a
random sample from a family of independent random variables and a normal
approximation result for such a sum.

Abstract: We introduce the higher order spreading models associated

$(x_s)_{s\in\ff}$ with $\ff$ a regular thin family and the
plegma families. We show that the higher order spreading models
of a Banach space $X$ form an increasing transfinite hierarchy
$(\mathcal{SM}_\xi(X))_{\xi<\omega_1}$. Each $\mathcal{SM}_\xi
(X)$ contains all spreading models generated by $\ff$-sequences
$(x_s)_{s\in\ff}$ with order of $\ff$ equal to $\xi$. We also provide
a study of the fundamental properties of the hierarchy.

interpolation of certain operators on $l^1$-valued noncommutative
symmetric spaces. By duality we may interpolate several well-known
noncommutative maximal inequalities. In particular we obtain a version of
Doob's maximal inequality and the dual Doob inequality for noncommutative
symmetric spaces. We apply our results to prove the Burkholder-Davis-Gundy
and Burkholder-Rosenthal inequalities for noncommutative martingales in
these spaces.

Abstract: The aim of this article is to prove a representation theorem for
orthogonally additive polynomials in the spirit of the recent theorem on
representation of orthogonally additive polynomials on Banach lattices
but for the setting of Riesz spaces. To this purpose the notion of
$p$--orthosymmetric multilinear form is introduced and it is shown
to be equivalent to the or\-tho\-go\-na\-lly additive property of the
corresponding polynomial. Then the space of positive orthogonally additive
polynomials on an Archimedean Riesz space taking values on an uniformly
complete Archimedean Riesz space is shown to be isomorphic to the space
of positive linear forms on the $n$-power in the sense of Boulabiar and
Buskes of the original Riesz space.

terms of the $\ell_p^m(\ell_q^n)$-norm of $(a_{ij})_{i,j}$. Additionally,
for p-stable and standard gaussian random variables we prove estimates
in terms of the $\ell_p^m(\ell_{M_{\xi}}^n)$-norm, $M_{\xi}$ depending
on the Gaussians.  Furthermore, we show that a sequence $\xi_i$,
$i=1,\ldots,n$ of iid $\log-\gamma(1,p)$ distributed random variables
($p\geq 2$) generates a truncated $\ell_p$-norm, especially $\Ex
\max_{i}\abs{a_i\xi_i}\sim \norm{(a_i)_i}_2$ for $p=2$. As far as we
know, the generating distribution for $\ell_p$-norms with $p\geq 2$
has not been known up to now.

This is an announcement for the paper "Oscillation and the mean ergodic
theorem" by Jeremy Avigad and Jason Rute.


Abstract: Let B be a uniformly convex Banach space, let T be a
nonexpansive linear operator, and let A_n x denote the ergodic average
(1/n) sum_{i<n} T^n x. A generalization of the mean ergodic theorem
due to Garrett Birkhoff asserts that the sequence (A_n x) converges,
which is equivalent to saying that for every epsilon > 0, the sequence
has only finitely many fluctuations greater than epsilon. Drawing on
calculations by Kohlenbach and Leustean, we provide a uniform bound
on the number of fluctuations that depends only on rho := || x || /
epsilon and a modulus, eta, of uniform convexity for B. Specifically,
we show that the sequence of averages (A_n x) has O(rho^2 log rho *
eta(1/(8 rho))^{-1})-many epsilon-fluctuations, and if B is a Hilbert
space, the sequence has O(rho^3 log rho)-many epsilon-fluctuations. The
proof is fully explicit, providing a remarkably uniform, quantitative,
and constructive formulation of the mean ergodic theorem.

This is an announcement for the paper "Duality of certain Banach spaces
of vector-valued holomorphic functions" by Fabio Jose Bertoloto.


Abstract: In this work we study the vector-valued Hardy spaces H p (D;
F ) (1 ≤ p ≤ ∞) and their relationship with RNP, ARNP and the UMDP
properties. By following the approach of Taylor in the scalar-valued
case, we prove that, when F and F have the ARNP property, then H p (D;
F ) and H q (D; F ) are canonically topologically isomorphic (for p,
q ∈ (1, ∞) conjugate indices) if and only if F has the UMDP.

This is an announcement for the paper "Polygonal equalities and virtual
degeneracy in $L$-spaces" by Casey Kelleher, Daniel Miller, Trenton
Osborn and Anthony Weston.


Abstract: Cases of equality in the classical $p$-negative type
inequalities for $L_{p}(\mu)$-spaces are characterized for each $p \in
(0,2)$ according to a new property called virtual degeneracy. For each
$p \in (0,2)$, this leads to a complete classification of the subsets of
$L_{p}$-spaces that have strict $p$-negative type. It follows that if $0 <
p < q \leq 2$ and if $(\Omega_{1}, \mu_{1})$ and $(\Omega_{2}, \mu_{2})$
are measure spaces, then no subset of $L_{q}(\Omega_{2}, \mu_{2})$ is
isometric to any linear subspace $W$ of $L_{p}(\Omega_{1}, \mu_{1})$
that contains a pair of disjointly supported unit vectors. Under these
circumstances it is also the case that no subset of $L_{q}(\Omega_{2},
\mu_{2})$ is isometric to any subset of $L_{p}(\Omega_{1}, \mu_{1})$
that has non-empty interior. We conclude the paper by examining virtually
degenerate subspaces of $L_{p}(\mu)$-spaces.

Abstract: We present a comprehensive theory of boundedness properties
for Polish groups developed with a main focus on Roelcke precompactness
(precompactness of the lower uniformity) and Property (OB) (boundedness of
all isometric actions on separable metric spaces). In particular, these
properties are characterised by the orbit structure of isometric actions
on metric spaces and isometric or continuous affine representations on
separable Banach spaces.

Abstract: In this paper we investigate a new notion of bases in Hilbert
spaces and similar to fusion frame theory we introduce fusion bases
theory in Hilbert spaces. We also introduce a new definition of fusion
dual sequence associated with a fusion basis and show that the operators
of a fusion dual sequence are continuous projections. Next we define
the fusion biorthogonal sequence, Bessel fusion basis, Hilbert fusion
basis and obtain some characterizations of them.  we study orthonormal
fusion systems and Riesz fusion bases for Hilbert spaces.  we consider the
stability of fusion bases under small perturbations. We also generalized
a result of Paley-Wiener [13] to the situation of fusion basis.

This is an announcement for the paper "Banach representations and affine
compactifications of dynamical systems" by Eli Glasner and Michael
Megrelishvili.


Abstract: To every Banach space V we associate a compact right
topological affine semigroup E(V). We show that a separable Banach space
V is Asplund if and only if E(V) is metrizable, and it is Rosenthal
(i.e. it does not contain an isomorphic copy of $l_1$) if and only if
E(V) is a Rosenthal compactum. We study representations of compact right
topological semigroups in E(V). In particular, representations of tame
and HNS-semigroups arise naturally as enveloping semigroups of tame and
HNS (hereditarily non-sensitive) dynamical systems, respectively. As an
application we obtain a generalization of a theorem of R. Ellis. A main
theme of our investigation is the relationship between the enveloping
semigroup of a dynamical system X and the enveloping semigroup of its
various affine compactifications Q(X). When the two coincide we say that
the affine compactification Q(X) is E-compatible. This is a refinement of
the notion of injectivity. We show that distal non-equicontinuous systems
do not admit any E-compatible compactification. We present several new
examples of non-injective dynamical systems and examine the relationship
between injectivity and E-compatibility.

This is an announcement for the paper "Spaceability in sets of operators
on $C(K)$" by Rogerio Fajardo, Pedro Kaufmann and Leonardo Pellegrini.


Abstract: We prove that if $K$ is a compact Hausdorff space satisfying
either condition \item $K$ contains a nontrivial convergent sequence,
or \item $C(K)$ is isomorphic to its square, then there exists an
infinite-dimensional closed subspace of the space of operators on $C(K)$,
each nonzero element of which does \emph{not} have the form $gI+S$,
where $g\in C(K)$, $S$ is weakly compact and $I$ is the identity
operator. This comes in contrast with what happens in $C(K)$ spaces
with \emph{few operators} in the sense of Koszmider [P.  Koszmider,
P., Banach spaces of continuous functions with few operators. Math.
Ann. 300 (2004), no. 1, 151 - 183.], which are precisely $C(K)$ spaces
where \emph{every} operator is of the form $gI+S$.
  In addition we show that, in case $C(K)$ has few operators, there is an
opertator $J$ on $C(K\times\{0,1\})=C(K)^2$ such that each operator
on $C(K\times\{0,1\})$ is of the form $gI+hJ+S$, where $g,h\in
C(K\times\{0,1\})$ and $S$ is strictly singular, in connection to a
result by Ferenczi [V.  Ferenczi,Uniqueness of complex structure and
real hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces. Adv. Math. 213 (2007),
no. 1, 462 - 488.].

Abstract: This paper is concerned with an important matrix condition in
compressed sensing known as the restricted isometry property (RIP). We
demonstrate that testing whether a matrix satisfies RIP is hard for
NP under randomized polynomial-time reductions. Our reduction is from
the NP-complete clique decision problem, and it uses ideas from matroid
theory. As a consequence of our result, it is impossible to efficiently
test for RIP provided NP \not\subseteq BPP, an assumption which is
slightly stronger than P \neq NP.

Abstract: Let $T$ be a bounded linear operator on a (real or complex)

tending to 0. Then, the set of $x \in X$ such that $\|T^nx\| \geqslant
a_n \|T^n\|$ for infinitely many $n$'s has a complement which is both
$\sigma$-porous and Haar-null. We also compute (for some classical
Banach space) optimal exponents $q>0$, such that for every non nilpotent
operator $T$, there exists $x \in X$ such that $(\|T^nx\|/\|T^n\|)
\notin \ell^{q}(\mathbb{N})$, using techniques which involve the modulus
of asymptotic uniform smoothness of $X$.

Abstract: Let $(\Omega,\Sigma,\mu)$ be a measure space and $1< p <

\bigcup\limits_{1 \leq q < p}L_{q}(\Omega)$ is maximal spaceable, that is,
when it contains (except for the null vector) a closed subspace $F$ of
$L_{p}(\Omega)$ such that $\dim(F) = \dim\left(L_{p}(\Omega)\right)$. The
aim of the results presented here is, among others, to generalize all the
previous work (since the 1960's) related to the linear structure of the
sets $L_{p}(\Omega) - L_{q}(\Omega)$ with $q < p$ and $L_{p}(\Omega) -
\bigcup\limits_{1 \leq q < p}L_{q}(\Omega)$. We shall also give examples,
propose open questions and provide new directions in the study of maximal
subspaces of classical measure spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "Greedy algorithms for reduced
bases in Banach spaces" by Ronald DeVore, Guergana Petrova, and Przemyslaw
Wojtaszczyk.


Abstract: Given a Banach space X and one of its compact sets F,
we consider the problem of finding a good n dimensional space X_n
⊂ X which can be used to approximate the elements of F. The best
possible error we can achieve for such an approximation is given by
the Kolmogorov width d_n(F)_X. However, finding the space which gives
this performance is typically numerically intractable.  Recently, a
new greedy strategy for obtaining good spaces was given in the context
of the reduced basis method for solving a parametric family of PDEs.
The performance of this greedy algorithm was initially analyzed in
A. Buffa, Y.  Maday, A.T. Patera, C. Prud’homme, and G. Turinici,
''A Priori convergence of the greedy algorithm for the parameterized
reduced basis'', M2AN Math. Model.  Numer. Anal., 46(2012), 595–603 in
the case X = H is a Hilbert space. The results there were significantly
improved on in P. Binev, A. Cohen, W. Dahmen, R. DeVore, G. Petrova,
and P. Wojtaszczyk, ''Convergence rates for greedy algorithms in reduced
bases Methods'', SIAM J. Math. Anal., 43 (2011), 1457–1472. The purpose
of the present paper is to give a new analysis of the performance of
such greedy algorithms. Our analysis not only gives improved results
for the Hilbert space case but can also be applied to the same greedy
procedure in general Banach spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "Generalized 3-circular projections
in some Banach spaces" by S Dutta and A B Abubaker.


Abstract: Recently in a series of papers it is observed that in
many Banach spaces, which include classical spaces $C(\Omega)$
and $L_p$-spaces, $1 \leq p < \infty, p \neq 2$, any generalized
bi-circular projection $P$ is given by $P = \frac{I+T}{2}$, where
$I$ is the identity operator of the space and $T$ is a reflection,
that is, $T$ is a surjective isometry with $T^2 = I$. For surjective
isometries of order $n \geq 3$, the corresponding notion of projection
is generalized $n$-circular projection as defined in \cite{AD}. In this
paper we show that in a Banach space $X$, if generalized bi-circular
projections are given by $\frac{I+T}{2}$ where $T$ is a reflection,
then any generalized $n$-circular projection $P$, $n \geq 3$, is given
by $P = \frac{I+T+T^2+\cdots+T^{n-1}}{n}$ where $T$ is a surjective
isometry and $T^n = I$. We prove our results for $n=3$ and for $n > 3$,
the proof remains same except for routine modifications.

space $X$, each compact convex subset in the function space $SC_p(X)$ is
metrizable. Another corollary says that two Tychonoff spaces $X,Y$ with
countable tightness and topologically isomorphic linear topological spaces
$SC_p(X)$ and $SC_p(Y)$ have the same network weight $nw(X)=nw(Y)$. Also
we prove that each zero-dimensional separable Rosenthal compact
space is homeomorphic to a compact subset of the function space
$SC_p(\omega^\omega)$ over the space $\omega^\omega$ of irrationals.

This is an announcement for the paper "(E,F)-multipliers and applications"
by Fedor Sukochev and Anna Tomskova.


Abstract: For two given symmetric sequence spaces $E$ and $F$ we study
the $(E,F)$-multiplier space, that is the space all of matrices $M$ for
which the Schur product $M\ast A$ maps $E$ into $F$ boundedly whenever
$A$ does. We obtain several results asserting continuous embedding of
$(E,F)$-multiplier space into the classical $(p,q)$-multiplier space
(that is when $E=l_p$, $F=l_q$). Furthermore, we present many examples
of symmetric sequence spaces $E$ and $F$ whose projective and injective
tensor products are not isomorphic to any subspace of a Banach space with
an unconditional basis, extending classical results of S. Kwapie\'{n} and
A. Pe{\l}czy\'{n}ski and of G. Bennett for the case when $E=l_p$, $F=l_q$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Free and projective Banach
lattices" by B. de Pagter and A.W. Wickstead.


Abstract: We define and prove the existence of free Banach lattices in
the category of Banach lattices and contractive lattice homomorphisms and
establish some of their fundamental properties. We give much more detailed
results about their structure in the case that there are only a finite
number of generators and give several Banach lattice characterizations of
the number of generators being, respectively, one, finite or countable. We
define a Banach lattice $P$ to be projective if whenever $X$ is a Banach
lattice, $J$ a closed ideal in $X$, $Q:X\to X/J$ the quotient map,
$T:P\to X/J$ a linear lattice homomorphism and $\epsilon>0$ there is
a linear lattice homomorphism $\hat{T}:P\to X$ such that (i) $T=Q\circ
\hat{T}$ and (ii) $\|\hat{T}\|\le (1+\epsilon)\|T\|$. We establish the
connection between projective Banach lattices and free Banach lattices
and describe several families of Banach lattices that are projective as
well as proving that some are not.

This is an announcement for the paper "On almost-invariant subspaces
and approximate commutation" by Laurent W. Marcoux, Alexey I. Popov,
and Heydar Radjavi.


Abstract: A closed subspace of a Banach space $\cX$ is almost-invariant
for a collection $\cS$ of bounded linear operators on $\cX$ if for each $T
\in \cS$ there exists a finite-dimensional subspace $\cF_T$ of $\cX$ such
that $T \cY \subseteq \cY + \cF_T$. In this paper, we study the existence
of almost-invariant subspaces of infinite dimension and codimension for
various classes of Banach and Hilbert space operators. We also examine
the structure of operators which admit a maximal commuting family of
almost-invariant subspaces.  In particular, we prove that if $T$ is an
operator on a separable Hilbert space and if $TP-PT$ has finite rank for
all projections $P$ in a given maximal abelian self-adjoint algebra $\fM$
then $T=M+F$ where $M\in\fM$ and $F$ is of finite rank.

This is an announcement for the paper "Spectral envelopes - A preliminary
report" by Wayne Lawton.


Abstract: The spectral envelope S(F) of a subset of integers is the set
of probability measures on the circle group that are weak star limits of
squared moduli of trigonometric polynomials with frequencies in F. Fourier
transforms of these measures are positive and supported in F - F but the
converse generally fails.  The characteristic function chiF of F is a
binary sequence whose orbit closure gives a symbolic dynamical system
O(F). Analytic properties of S(F) are related to dynamical properties
of chiF. The Riemann-Lebesque lemma implies that if chiF is minimal,
then S(F) is convex and hence S(F) is the closure of the convex hull of
its extreme points Se(F). In this paper we (i) review the relationship
between these concepts and the special case of the still open 1959
Kadison-Singer problem called Feichtinger's conjecture for exponential
functions, (ii) partially characterize of elements in Se(F), for minimal
chiF, in terms of ergodic properties of (O(F),lambda) where lambda is a
shift invariant probability measure whose existence in ensured by the 1937
Krylov-Bogoyubov theorem, (iii) refine previous numerical studies of the
Morse-Thue minimal binary sequence by exploiting a new MATLAB algorithm
for computing smallest eigenvalues of 4,000,000 x 4,000,000 matrices,
(iv) describe recent results characterizing S(F) for certain Bohr sets F
related to quasicrystals, (v) extend these concepts to general discrete
groups including those with Kazhdan's T-property, such as SL(n,Z), n >
2, which can be characterized by several equivalent properties such as:
any sequence of positive definite functions converging to 1 uniformly on
compact subsets converges uniformly. This exotic property may be useful
to construct a counterexample to the generalization of Feichtinger's
conjecture and hence to provide a no answer to the question of Kadison
and Singer whcih they themselves tended to suspect.

theory for semigroups of operators" by Tao Mei.


Abstract: Let (M,\mu) be a sigma-finite measure space. Let (T_t)
be a semigroup of positive preserving maps on (M,\mu) with standard
assumptions. We prove a $H_1$-BMO duality theory with assumptions only
on the semigroup of operators.  The H1's are defined by square functions
of P. A. Meyer's gradient form. The formulation of the assumptions does
not rely on any geometric/metric property of M nor on the kernel of the
semigroups of operators. Our main results extend to the noncommutative
setting as well, e.g. the case where $L_\infty(M,\mu)$ is replaced by
von Neuman algebras with a semifinite trace. We also prove a Carlson
embedding theorem for semigroups of operators.

Abstract: We show that the set of Lebesgue integrable functions

improving a result from [F. J.  Garc\'{i}a-Pacheco, M. Mart\'{i}n,
and J. B. Seoane-Sep\'ulveda.  \textit{Lineability, spaceability,
and algebrability of certain subsets of function spaces,} Taiwanese
J. Math., \textbf{13} (2009), no. 4, 1257--1269], and that it is strongly
$\mathfrak{c}$-algebrable. We prove strong $\mathfrak{c}$-algebrability
and non-separable spaceability of the set of functions of bounded
variation which have a dense set of jump discontinuities.  Applications to
sets of Lebesgue-nowhere-Riemann integrable and Riemann-nowhere-Newton
integrable functions are presented as corollaries. In addition
we prove that the set of Kurzweil integrable functions which are
not Lebesgue integrable is spaceable (in the Alexievicz norm)
but not $1$-algebrable. We also show that there exists an infinite
dimensional vector space $S$ of differentiable functions such that
each element of the $C([0,1])$-closure of $S$ is a primitive to a
Kurzweil integrable function, in connection to a classic spaceability
result from [V. I. Gurariy, \textit{Subspaces and bases in spaces of
continuous functions (Russian),} Dokl.  Akad. Nauk SSSR, \textbf{167}

partial sums of the Fourier series of f converge to f pointwise almost
everywhere. Apparently, all known examples of UMD spaces are of this
intermediate form Y=[X,H]_t. In particular, we answer affirmatively a

with the 1-dimensional marginals of the uniform probability measure on
an isotropic convex body, extending the interval in which the average
of the distribution functions of those marginals behaves in a sub-
or supergaussian way.

July 16 - 19 there will be a Concentration Week on "Frame Theory and Maps 
Between Operator Algebras",
organized by Chris Heil, Emily J. King (chair), Keri Kornelson, and Darrin 
Speegle.  A researcher working in frame theory will naturally be led to 
consider matrices (the Gram matrix, the analysis operator and the 
synthesis operator), and many problems in frame theory have a re-casting 
in operator theory.  The most celebrated example of this is the 
Kadison-Singer problem.  By now, there are many mathematicians familiar 
with the basics of the two areas, and there is a fruitful collaboration. 
Less obvious is the relationship between frame theory and maps between 
operator algebras.  Very recent work in this area by Han, Larson, Lu, and 
Lu indicate that this may be a relationship that is ripe for exploiting. 
The goal of this concentration week is to bring together researchers in 
these two fields so that they may learn from one another and build 
networks of potential collaborators.  There will be introductory series of 
talks on "Frame theory" by Ole Christensen, on "Maps on Operator Algebras" 
by Vern Paulsen, and on "Bridging the Gap Between Frame Theory and Maps on 
Operator Algebras" by Deguang Han.  This concentration week will also lead 
into a separate conference on the following weekend celebrating the 70th 
birthday of David Larson. The home page for this Workshop is at

http://page.math.tu-berlin.de/~king/cw.html

August 6-10 there will be a Concentration Week on "Recent advances in 
Harmonic Analysis and Spectral Theory",
organized by Andrew Comech, David Damanik, Constanze Liaw (chair), and 
Alexei Poltoratski.  This CW is designed to bring together two  groups of 
experts: those specializing in complex and harmonic analysis and those 
working in spectral theory of differential operators and mathematical 
physics. The main goals of the CW are to study new relationships and to 
widen further participation in this area in the United States. 
Introductory series of lectures by Stephen Gustafson, Svetlana 
Jitomirskaya, Helge Krueger, and Brett Wick are planned
to acquaint non-experts with these topics with the reasonable expectation 
that some the  participants in the larger Workshop will will be attracted 
to this program and inject new ideas into the area.
The home page for this Workshop is at

http://www.math.tamu.edu/~comech/events/hast-2012/

The Workshop is supported in part by grants from the National Science 
Foundation (NSF). Minorities, women, graduate students, and young 
researchers are especially encouraged to attend.

Banach-Mazur distance to the cube" by Pierre Youssef.


Abstract: We prove a normalized version of the restricted invertibility
principle obtained by Spielman-Srivastava. Applying this result, we
get a new proof of the proportional Dvoretzky-Rogers factorization
theorem recovering the best current estimate. As a consequence, we
also recover the best known estimate for the Banach-Mazur distance
to the cube: the distance of every n-dimensional normed space from
\ell_{\infty }^n is at most (2n)^(5/6). Finally, using tools from the
work of Batson-Spielman-Srivastava, we give a new proof for a theorem
of Kashin-Tzafriri on the norm of restricted matrices.

This is an announcement for the paper "New examples of K-monotone weighted
Banach couples" by Sergey V. Astashkin, Lech Maligranda and Konstantin

Abstract: Some new examples of K-monotone couples of the type (X,
X(w)), where X is a symmetric space on [0, 1] and w is a weight on [0,
1], are presented. Based on the property of the w-decomposability of a
symmetric space we show that, if a weight w changes sufficiently fast,
all symmetric spaces X with non-trivial Boyd indices such that the Banach
couple (X, X(w)) is K-monotone belong to the class of ultrasymmetric
Orlicz spaces. If, in addition, the fundamental function of X is t^{1/p}
for some p \in [1, \infty], then X = L_p. At the same time a Banach
couple (X, X(w)) may be K-monotone for some non-trivial w in the case
when X is not ultrasymmetric. In each of the cases where X is a Lorentz,
Marcinkiewicz or Orlicz space we have found conditions which guarantee
that (X, X(w)) is K-monotone.

Abstract: We present a reflexive Banach space

a weakly null normalized sequence $\{y_n\}_n$, such that every
subsymmetric sequence $\{z_n\}_n$ is isomorphically generated
as a spreading model of a subsequence of $\{y_n\}_n$. Also,
in every block subspace $Y$ of $\mathfrak{X}_{_{^\text{usm}}}$
there exists a seminormalized block sequence $\{z_n\}$ and
$T:\mathfrak{X}_{_{^\text{usm}}}\rightarrow\mathfrak{X}_{_{^\text{usm}}}$
an isomorphism such that for every $n\in\mathbb{N}$ $T(z_{2n-1}) =
z_{2n}$. Thus the space is an example of an HI space which is not tight
by range in a strong sense.

Calder\'on-Lozanovskii spaces" by Pawel Kolwicz, Karol Lesnik, and

Abstract: Several results concerning multipliers of symmetric Banach
function spaces are presented firstly. Then the results on multipliers of
Calder\'on-Lozanovskii spaces are proved. We investigate assumptions on
a Banach ideal space E and three Young functions \varphi_1, \varphi_2
and \varphi, generating the corresponding Calder\'on-Lozanovskii
spaces E_{\varphi_1}, E_{\varphi_2}, E_{\varphi} so that the space
of multipliers M(E_{\varphi_1}, E_{\varphi}) of all measurable x
such that x,y \in E_{\varphi} for any y \in E_{\varphi_1} can be
identified with E_{\varphi_2}. Sufficient conditions generalize earlier
results by Ando, O'Neil, Zabreiko-Rutickii, Maligranda-Persson and
Maligranda-Nakai. There are also necessary conditions on functions for
the embedding M(E_{\varphi_1}, E_{\varphi}) \subset E_{\varphi_2} to
be true, which already in the case when E = L^1, that is, for Orlicz
spaces M(L^{\varphi_1}, L^{\varphi}) \subset L^{\varphi_2} give a
solution of a problem raised in the book [Ma89]. Some properties of a
generalized complementary operation on Young functions, defined by Ando,
are investigated in order to show how to construct the function \varphi_2
such that M(E_{\varphi_1}, E_{\varphi}) = E_{\varphi_2}. There are also
several examples of independent interest.

symmetrizations" by Gabriele Bianchi, Almut Burchard, Paolo Gronchi,

Abstract: There are sequences of directions such that, given any compact
set K in R^n, the sequence of iterated Steiner symmetrals of K in these
directions converges to a ball. However examples show that Steiner
symmetrization along a sequence of directions whose differences are
square summable does not generally converge. (Note that this may happen
even with sequences of directions which are dense in S^{n-1}.) Here we
show that such sequences converge in shape. The limit need not be an
ellipsoid or even a convex set.
  We also deal with uniformly distributed sequences of directions,
and with a recent result of Klain on Steiner symmetrization along
sequences chosen from a finite set of directions.

Abstract: A. Ya. Zaslavskii's results on the existence of a linear
(affine) selection for a linear (affine) or superlinear (convex) map
$\Phi : K \to 2^Y$ defined on a convex cone (convex set) $K$ having the
interpolation property are extended.  We prove that they hold true under
more general conditions on the values of the mapping and study some other
properties of the selections. This leads to a characterization of Choquet
simplexes in terms of the existence of continuous affine selections for
arbitrary continuous convex maps. A few applications to analysis are
given, including a construction that leads to the existence of a (not
necessarily bounded) solution for the corona problem in polydisk $\mathbb
D^n$ with radial boundary values that are bounded almost everywhere on
$\mathbb T^n$.

Aron-Berner extensions are norm attaining, is dense in the space of all
continuous $N$-homogeneous polynomials. To this end we prove an integral
formula for the duality between tensor products and polynomials. We
also exhibit examples of Lorentz sequence spaces for which there is
no polynomial Bishop-Phelps theorem, but our results apply. Finally
we address quantitative versions, in the sense of Bollob\'as, of these
results.

Abstract: A natural class of ideals, super-ideals, of Banach spaces
is defined and studied. The motivation for working with this class of
subspaces is our observations that they inherit diameter 2 properties and
the Daugavet property.  Lindenstrauss spaces are known to be the class of
Banach spaces which are ideals in every superspace; we show that being a
super-ideal in every superspace characterizes the class of Gurarii spaces.

equipped with both their ad-hoc distances and their snowflakings. Through
connections with weaker forms of embeddings that lead to basic

of understanding the dissimilarities between the well-known subspace
structure and the different nonlinear geometries that coexist inside
$L_{p}$ and $\ell_{p}$.

C and C in (1+epsilon) P one can choose P having roughly epsilon^{-d/2}
vertices and for P in C and C in sqrt{epsilon d} P one can choose P
having roughly d^{1/epsilon} vertices.  Similarly, we prove that if
C in R^d is a convex body such that -C in mu C for some mu > 1 then
to have P in C and C in (1+epsilon)P one can choose P having roughly
(mu/epsilon)^{d/2} vertices.

This is an announcement for the paper "The ideal of weakly compactly
generated operators acting on a Banach space" by Tomasz Kania and Tomasz

Abstract: We call a bounded linear operator acting between Banach spaces
weakly compactly generated ($\mathsf{WCG}$ for short) if its range is
contained in a weakly compactly generated subspace of its codomain. This
notion simultaneously generalises being weakly compact and having
separable range. In a comprehensive study of the class of $\mathsf{WCG}$
operators, we prove that it forms a closed surjective operator ideal
and investigate its relations to other classical operator ideals. By
considering the $p$th long James space $\mathcal{J}_p(\omega_1)$, we
show how properties of the ideal of $\mathsf{WCG}$ operators (such
as being the unique maximal ideal) may be used to derive results
outside ideal theory. For instance, we identify the $K_0$-group of
$\mathscr{B}(\mathcal{J}_p(\omega_1))$ as the additive group of integers.

Abstract: We suggest a concept of generalized `angles' in arbitrary real
normed vector spaces.  We give for each real number a definition of an
`angle' by means of the shape of the unit ball.  They all yield the well
known Euclidean angle in the special case of real inner product spaces.
With these different angles we achieve a classification of normed spaces,
and we obtain a characterization of inner product spaces. Finally we
consider this construction also for a generalization of normed spaces,
i.e. for spaces which may have a non-convex unit ball.

This is an announcement for the paper "There exist multilinear
Bohnenblust--Hille constants $(C_{n})_{n=1}^{\infty}$ with $\displaystyle
\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}(C_{n+1}-C_{n}) =0.$" by Daniel Pellegrino,
Juan Seoane-Sepulveda and Diana M. Serrano-Rodriguez.


Abstract: After almost 80 decades of dormancy, the Bohnenblust--Hille
inequalities have experienced an effervescence of new results and
sightly applications in the last years. The multilinear version of the
Bohnenblust--Hille inequality asserts that for every positive integer
$m\geq1$ there exists a sequence of positive constants $C_{m}\geq1$ such
that% \[ \left( \sum\limits_{i_{1},\ldots,i_{m}=1}^{N}\left\vert
U(e_{i_{^{1}}}% ,\ldots,e_{i_{m}})\right\vert
^{\frac{2m}{m+1}}\right) ^{\frac{m+1}{2m}}\leq
C_{m}\sup_{z_{1},\ldots,z_{m}\in\mathbb{D}^{N}}\left\vert
U(z_{1},\ldots ,z_{m})\right\vert \] for all $m$-linear forms
$U:\mathbb{C}^{N}\times\cdots\times\mathbb{C}% ^{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{C}$
and positive integers $N$ (the same holds with slightly different
constants for real scalars). The first estimates obtained for $C_{m}$
showed exponential growth but, only very recently, a striking new
panorama emerged: the polynomial Bohnenblust--Hille inequality is
hypercontractive and the multilinear Bohnenblust--Hille inequality
is subexponential. Despite all recent advances, the existence of a
family of constants $\left( C_{m}\right) _{m=1}^{\infty}$ so that \[
\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\left( C_{n+1}-C_{n}\right) =0 \] has not been
proved yet. The main result of this paper proves that such constants
do exist.  As a consequence of this, we obtain new information on the
optimal constants $\left( K_{n}\right) _{n=1}^{\infty}$ satisfying
the multilinear Bohnenblust--Hille inequality. Let $\gamma$ be
Euler's famous constant; for any $\varepsilon>0$, we show that \[
K_{n+1}-K_{n}\leq\left( 2\sqrt{2}-4e^{\frac{1}{2}\gamma-1}\right)
n^{\log_{2}\left( 2^{-3/2}e^{1-\frac{1}{2}\gamma}\right) +\varepsilon},
\] for infinitely many $n$. Numerically, choosing a small $\varepsilon$,
\[ K_{n+1}-K_{n}\leq0.8646\left( \frac{1}{n}\right) ^{0.4737}% \] for
infinitely many $n.$

bounded by the best N- term error of approximation times a function of N
which depends on the democracy functions and the quasi-greedy constant
of the basis. If the basis is democratic this function is bounded
by C logN. We show with two examples that this bound is attained for
quasi-greedy democratic bases.

This is an announcement for the paper "Approximation properties and
Schauder decompositions in Lipschitz-free spaces" by Gilles Lancien
and Eva Pernecka.


Abstract: We prove that the Lipschitz-free space over a doubling
metric space has the bounded approximation property. We also show that
the Lipschitz-free spaces over $\ell_1^N$ or $\ell_1$ have monotone
finite-dimensional Schauder decompositions.

This is an announcement for the paper "Compactness and an approximation
property related to an operator ideal" by Anil Kumar Karn and Deba
Prasad Sinha.


Abstract: For an operator ideal $\mathcal A$, we study the
composition operator ideals ${\mathcal A}\circ{\mathcal K}$, ${\mathcal
K}\circ{\mathcal A}$ and ${\mathcal K}\circ{\mathcal A}\circ{\mathcal
K}$, where $\mathcal K$ is the ideal of compact operators. We introduce
a notion of an $\mathcal A$-approximation property on a Banach space
and characterise it in terms of the density of finite rank operators in
${\mathcal A}\circ{\mathcal K}$ and ${\mathcal K}\circ{\mathcal A}$.
  We propose the notions of $\ell _{\infty}$-extension and $\ell_1$-lifting
properties for an operator ideal $\mathcal A$ and study ${\mathcal
A}\circ{\mathcal K}$, ${\mathcal }\circ{\mathcal A}$ and the $\mathcal
A$-approximation property where $\mathcal A$ is injective or surjective
and/or with the $\ell _{\infty}$-extension or $\ell _1$-lifting
property. In particular, we show that if $\mathcal A$ is an injective
operator ideal with the $\ell _\infty$-extension property, then we have:
{\item{(a)} $X$ has the $\mathcal A$-approximation property if and
only if $({\mathcal A}^{min})^{inj}(Y,X)={\mathcal A}^{min}(Y,X)$,
for all Banach spaces $Y$.  \item{(b)} The dual space $X^*$ has
the $\mathcal A$-approximation property if and only if $(({\mathcal
A}^{dual})^{min})^{sur}(X,Y)=({\mathcal A}^{dual})^{min}(X,Y)$, for
all Banach spaces $Y$.}For an operator ideal $\mathcal A$, we study the
composition operator ideals ${\mathcal A}\circ{\mathcal K}$,

Abstract: In this paper we obtain a representation as martingale

by T. Figiel. The martingale transforms and the underlying sigma algebras
are obtained explicitly by combinatorial means. The known norm estimates
for those operators are a direct consequence of our representation.

This is an announcement for the paper "An undecidable case of lineability
in R^R" by Jose Luis Gamez-Merino and Juan B. Seoane-Sepulveda.


Abstract: Recently it has been proved that, assuming that there is an
almost disjoint family of cardinality \(2^{\mathfrak c}\) in \(\mathfrak
c\) (which is assured, for instance, by either Martin's Axiom, or CH,
or even \mbox{$2^{<\mathfrak c}=\mathfrak c$}) one has that the set of
Sierpi\'nski-Zygmund functions is \(2^{\mathfrak{c}}\)-strongly algebrable
(and, thus, \(2^{\mathfrak{c}}\)-lineable). Here we prove that these
two statements are actually equivalent and, moreover, they both are
undecidable. This would be the first time in which one encounters an
undecidable proposition in the recently coined theory of lineability.

Dear Colleagues,

      As you might have read in the recent notices of the AMS, we are
organizing
a  Special Session "Separate versus Joint Continuity - a tribute to Prof.
I.
Namioka" during the AMS Central
Fall Sectional Meeting at the University of Akron, OH, October 20-21, 2012.

      In celebration of the coming 50th anniversary of the appearance of
his
monumental "Linear topological spaces", on Friday afternoon, October 19 (a
day
before the Akron Meeting) we want to honor Prof. Namioka by slating a
mathematical gathering at Kent State University (a different location!) and
we
hope you can make it. We have contacted Prof. I. Namioka and he has kindly
agreed to give a talk at Friday's meeting.

     We warmly invite you to attend these special events, both at KSU and
Akron.
We have a very limited number of slots available for a 20 minute
presentation,
so if you are interested in giving a talk/announcment please contact us
ASAP.
Regardless, whether you give a talk or not, we hope you can attend.

  On behalf of the Special Session Organizing Committee

    Dr. Zbigniew Piotrowski

August 6-10 there will be a Concentration Week on "Recent advances in 
Harmonic Analysis and Spectral Theory",
organized by Andrew Comech, David Damanik, Constanze Liaw (chair), and 
Alexei Poltoratski.  This CW is designed to bring together two  groups of 
experts: those specializing in complex and harmonic analysis and those 
working in spectral theory of differential operators and mathematical 
physics. The main goals of the CW are to study new relationships and to 
widen further participation in this area in the United States. 
Introductory series of lectures by Stephen Gustafson, Svetlana 
Jitomirskaya, Helge Krueger, and Brett Wick are planned
to acquaint non-experts with these topics with the reasonable expectation 
that some the  participants in the larger Workshop will will be attracted 
to this program and inject new ideas into the area.
The home page for this Workshop is at

http://www.math.tamu.edu/~comech/events/hast-2012/

The Workshop is supported in part by grants from the National Science 
Foundation (NSF). Minorities, women, graduate students, and young 
researchers are especially encouraged to attend.

For logistical support, including requests for support, please contact 
Cara Barton <cara at math.tamu.edu>.  For more information on the Workshop 
itself, please contact William Johnson <johnson at math.tamu.edu>, David Kerr

Abstract: We provide a partial answer to the question of Vladimir Kadets
whether given an $\mathcal F$-basis of a~Banach space $X$, with respect
to some filter $\mathcal F\subset \mathcal P(\mathbb N)$, the coordinate
functionals are continuous. The answer is positive if the character of
$\mathcal F$ is less than $\mathfrak{p}$. In this case every $\mathcal
F$-basis with individual brackets is an $M$-basis with brackets determined
by a set from $\mathcal F$.

This is an announcement for the paper "An operator summability of
sequences in Banach spaces" by Anil Kumar Karn and Deba Prasad Sinha.


Abstract: Let $1 \leq p <\infty$. A sequence $\lef x_n \rig$ in a Banach
space $X$ is defined to be $p$-operator summable if for each $\lef f_n
\rig \in l^{w^*}_p(X^*)$, we have $\lef \lef f_n(x_k)\rig _k \rig _n
\in l^s_p(l_p)$.  Every norm $p$-summable sequence in a Banach space is
operator $p$-summable, while in its turn every operator $p$-summable
sequence is weakly $p$-summable.  An operator $T \in B(X, Y)$ is said
to be $p$-limited if for every $\lef x_n \rig \in l_p^w(X)$, $\lef Tx_n
\rig$ is operator $p$-summable. The set of all $p$-limited operators
form a normed operator ideal. It is shown that every weakly $p$-summable
sequence in $X$ is operator $p$-summable if and only if every operator
$T \in B(X, l_p)$ is $p$-absolutely summing. On the other hand every
operator $p$-summable sequence in $X$ is norm $p$-summable if and only if
every $p$-limited operator in $B(l_{p'}, X)$ is absolutely $p$-summing.
Moreover, this is the case if and only if $X$ is a subspace of $L_p(\mu )$
for some Borel measure $\mu$.

Abstract: We prove that if continuum is not a Kunen cardinal, then there

does not embed isometrically into $\ell_\infty/c_0$. We prove a similar
result for isomorphic embeddings. We also construct a consistent example
of a uniform Eberlein compactum whose space of continuous functions
embeds isomorphically into $\ell_\infty/c_0$, but fails to embed
isometrically. As far as we know it is the first example of this kind.

Abstract: We give a simple argument to show that if {\alpha} is an affine

Banach space X with linear part {\pi}, then either {\pi}(H) fixes a
unit vector or {\alpha}|G almost fixes a point on X. It follows that any
affine isometric action of an abelian group on a reflexive Banach space
X, whose linear part fixes no unit vectors, almost fixes points on X.

This is an announcement for the paper "Large structures made of
nowhere $L^p$ functions" by Szymon Glab, Pedro L. Kaufmann and Leonardo

Abstract: We say that a real-valued function $f$ defined on a
positive Borel measure space $(X,\mu)$ is nowhere $q$-integrable if,
for each nonvoid open subset $U$ of $X$, the restriction $f|_U$ is
not in $L^q(U)$. When $X$ is a Polish space and $\mu$ satisfies some
natural properties, we show that certain sets of functions which are
$p$-integrable for some $p$'s but nowhere $q$-integrable for some other
$q$'s ($0<p,q<\infty$) admit large linear and algebraic structures within
them. In our Polish space context, the presented results answer a question
from Bernal-Gonz\'alez [L. Bernal-Gonz\'alez, Algebraic genericity and
strict-order integrability, Studia Math. 199(3)(2010), 279--293], and
improves and complements results of several authors.

generalized Triebel-Lizorkin spaces" by Peer Christian Kunstmann and

Abstract: We introduce a notion of generalized Triebel-Lizorkin spaces
associated with sectorial operators in Banach function spaces. Our
approach is based on holomorphic functional calculus techniques. Using the
concept of $\mathcal{R}_s$-sectorial operators, which in turn is based on
the notion of $\mathcal{R}_s$-bounded sets of operators introduced by Lutz
Weis, we obtain a neat theory including equivalence of various norms and
a precise description of real and complex interpolation spaces. Another
main result of this article is that an $\mathcal{R}_s$-sectorial operator
always has a bounded $H^\infty$-functional calculus in its associated
generalized Triebel-Lizorkin spaces.

implicit equation for the norm of the dual of Tsirelson space given by

the dual of any mixed Tsirelson space. In particular, our results can
be adapted to give the norm for the dual of Schlumprecht space.

Abstract: Nonlinear spectral gaps with respect to uniformly convex

establishes their decay along Ces\`aro averages. Nonlinear spectral
gaps of graphs are also shown to behave sub-multiplicatively under
zigzag products. These results yield a combinatorial construction of
super-expanders, i.e., a sequence of 3-regular graphs that does not
admit a coarse embedding into any uniformly convex normed space.

Abstract: Given a strictly increasing sequence $\Lambda=(\lambda_n)$
of nonegative real numbers, with $\sum_{n=1}^\infty
\frac{1}{\lambda_n}<\infty$, the M\"untz spaces $M_\Lambda^p$ are defined
as the closure in $L^p([0,1])$ of the monomials $x^{\lambda_n}$. We
discuss how properties of the embedding $M_\Lambda^2\subset L^2(\mu)$,
where $\mu$ is a finite positive Borel measure on the interval $[0,1]$,
have immediate consequences for composition operators on $M^2_\Lambda$. We
give criteria for composition operators to be bounded, compact, or to
belong to the Schatten--von Neumann ideals.

``j-plane to k-plane'' transform, and the corresponding dual transforms,
  acting on $L^p$ spaces with a radial power weight. The operator
  norms are
explicitly evaluated. Some generalizations and open problems are
discussed.

This is an announcement for the paper "Pisier's inequality revisited"
by Tuomas Hytonen and Assaf Naor.


Abstract: Given a Banach space $X$, for $n\in \mathbb N$ and $p\in
(1,\infty)$ we investigate the smallest constant $\mathfrak P\in
(0,\infty)$ for which every $f_1,\ldots,f_n:\{-1,1\}^n\to X$
satisfy \begin{multline*} \int_{\{-1,1\}^n}\Bigg\|\sum_{j=1}^n
\partial_jf_j(\varepsilon)\Bigg\|^pd\mu(\varepsilon)\\\le
\mathfrak{P}^p\int_{\{-1,1\}^n}\int_{\{-1,1\}^n}\Bigg\|\sum_{j=1}^n
\d_j\Delta f_j(\varepsilon)\Bigg\|^pd\mu(\varepsilon) d\mu(\delta),
\end{multline*} where $\mu$ is the uniform probability measure on
the discrete hypercube $\{-1,1\}^n$ and $\{\partial_j\}_{j=1}^n$ and
$\Delta=\sum_{j=1}^n\partial_j$ are the hypercube partial derivatives
and the hypercube Laplacian, respectively.  Denoting this constant
by $\mathfrak{P}_p^n(X)$, we show that $\mathfrak{P}_p^n(X)\le
\sum_{k=1}^{n}\frac{1}{k}$ for every Banach space $(X,\|\cdot\|)$. This
extends the classical Pisier inequality, which corresponds to the special
case $f_j=\Delta^{-1}\partial_j f$ for some $f:\{-1,1\}^n\to X$. We show
that $\sup_{n\in \N}\mathfrak{P}_p^n(X)<\infty$ if either the dual $X^*$
is a $\mathrm{UMD}^+$ Banach space, or for some $\theta\in (0,1)$ we have
$X=[H,Y]_\theta$, where $H$ is a Hilbert space and $Y$ is an arbitrary
Banach space. It follows that $\sup_{n\in \N}\mathfrak{P}_p^n(X)<\infty$
if $X$ is a Banach lattice of finite cotype.

Abstract: This thesis addresses Pour-El and Richards' fourth question

the relation between higher order recursion theory and computability
in analysis.
  Among other things it is shown that there is a computability structure
  that
is uncountable. The example given is a structure on the Banach space of
bounded linear operators on the set of almost periodic functions.

This is an announcement for the paper "An interplay between the weak
form of Peano's theorem and structural   aspects of Banach spaces"
by Cleon S. Barroso, Michel P. Reboucas and Marcus A. M. Marrocos.


Abstract: In this paper we establish some new results concerning the
Cauchy-Peano problem in Banach spaces. Firstly, we prove that if a Banach
space $E$ admits a fundamental biorthogonal system, then there exists
a continuous vector field $f\colon E\to E$ such that the autonomous
differential equation $u'=f(u)$ has no solutions at any time. The proof
relies on a key result asserting that every infinite-dimensional Fr\'echet
space with a fundamental biorthogonal system possesses a nontrivial
separable quotient. The later, is the byproduct of a mixture of known
results on barrelledness and two fundamental results of Banach space
theory (namely, a result of Pe{\l}czy\'nski on Banach spaces containing
$L_1(\mu)$ and the $\ell_1$-theorem of Rosenthal). Next, we introduce
a natural notion of weak-approximate solutions for the non-autonomous
Cauchy-Peano problem in Banach spaces, and prove that a necessary and
sufficient condition for the existence of such an approximation is the
absence of $\ell_1$-isomorphs inside the underline space. We also study a
kind of algebraic genericity for the Cauchy-Peano problem in spaces $E$
having complemented subspaces with unconditional Schauder basis. It is
proved that if $\mathscr{K}(E)$ denotes the family of all continuous
vector fields $f\colon E\to E$ for which $u'=f(u)$ has no solutions
at any time, then $\mathscr{K}(E)\bigcup \{0\}$ is spaceable in sense
that it contains a closed infinite dimensional subspace of $C(E)$,
the locally convex space of all continuous vector fields on $E$ with
the linear topology of uniform convergence on bounded sets.

This is an announcement for the paper "Rotation invariant Minkowski
classes of convex bodies" by Rolf Schneider and Franz E. Schuster.


Abstract: A Minkowski class is a closed subset of the space of convex
bodies in Euclidean space Rn which is closed under Minkowski addition
and non-negative dilatations. A convex body in Rn is universal if the
expansion of its support function in spherical harmonics contains non-zero
harmonics of all orders. If K is universal, then a dense class of convex
bodies M has the following property.  There exist convex bodies T1;
T2 such that M + T1 = T2, and T1; T2 belong to the rotation invariant
Minkowski class generated by K. It is shown that every convex body K
which is not centrally symmetric has a linear image, arbitrarily close
to K, which is universal. A modified version of the result holds for
centrally symmetric convex bodies. In this way, a result of S. Alesker
is strengthened, and at the same time given a more elementary proof.

Abstract: Rotation intertwining maps from the set of convex bodies

to Minkowski and Blaschke addition are investigated. The main focus
is on Blaschke-Minkowski homomorphisms. We show that such maps are
represented by a spherical convolution operator. An application of this
representation is a complete classification of all even Blaschke-Minkowski
homomorphisms which shows that these maps behave in many respects similar
to the well known projection body operator. Among further applications
is the following result: If an even Blaschke-Minkowski homomorphism
maps a convex body to a polytope, then it is a constant multiple of the
projection body operator.

$\ell_{p_1}\tp\ell_{p_2}\tp\ell_{p_3}$ does not have finite cotype. This
is a proved via a connection to the theory of locally decodable codes.

Abstract: We present several sharp inequalities for the $SL(n)$ invariant

arose with the Paouris-Werner invariant $\Omega_K$ defined for convex
bodies $K$ whose centroid is at the origin. We offer two alternative
definitions for $\Omega_K$ when $K \in C^2_+$. The technique employed
prompts us to conjecture that any $SL(n)$ invariant of convex bodies with
continuous and positive centro-affine curvature function can be obtained
as a limit of normalized $p$-affine surface areas of the convex body.

This is an announcement for the paper "Algebraic and topological
properties of some sets in $l_1$" by T.Banakh, A.Bartoszewicz, Sz.Glab,
and E.Szymonik.


Abstract: For a sequence $x \in l_1 \setminus c_{00}$, one can
consider the set $E(x)$ of all subsums of series $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}
x(n)$. Guthrie and Nymann proved that $E(x)$ is one of the following
types of sets:
  (I) a finite union of closed intervals; (C) homeomorphic to the Cantor
  set; (MC) homeomorphic to the set $T$ of subsums of $\sum_{n=1}^\infty
  b(n)$ where $b(2n-1) = 3/4^n$ and $b(2n) = 2/4^n$.
  By $I$, $C$ and $MC$ we denote the sets of all sequences $x \in l_1
  \setminus
c_{00}$, such that $E(x)$ has the corresponding property. In this note
we show that $I$ and $C$ are strongly $\mathfrak{c}$-algebrable and $MC$
is $\mathfrak{c}$-lineable. We show that $C$ is a dense $G_\delta$-set
in $l_1$ and $I$ is a true $F_\sigma$-set. Finally we show that $I$
is spaceable while $C$ is not spaceable.

This is an announcement for the paper "A local spectral condition for
strong compactness with some applications   to bilateral weighted shifts"
by Miguel Lacruz and Maria del Pilar Romero de la Rosa.


Abstract: An algebra of bounded linear operators on a Banach space is
said to be {\em strongly compact} if its unit ball is precompact in
the strong operator topology, and a bounded linear operator on a Banach
space is said to be {\em strongly compact} if the algebra with identity
generated by the operator is strongly compact. Our interest in this
notion stems from the work of Lomonosov on the existence of invariant
subspaces. We provide a local spectral condition that is sufficient for
a bounded linear operator on a Banach space to be strongly compact. This
condition is then applied to describe a large class of strongly compact,
injective bilateral weighted shifts on Hilbert spaces, extending earlier
work of Fern\'andez-Valles and the first author. Further applications
are also derived, for instance, a strongly compact, invertible bilateral
weighted shift is constructed in such a way that its inverse fails to
be a strongly compact operator.

This is an announcement for the paper "The $L^p$ primitive integral"
by Erik Talvila.


Abstract: For each $1\leq p<\infty$ a space of integrable Schwartz
distributions, $L{\!}'^{\,p}$, is defined by taking the distributional
derivative of all functions in $L^p$. Here, $L^p$ is with respect to
Lebesgue measure on the real line. If $f\in L{\!}'^{\,p}$ such that $f$ is
the distributional derivative of $F\in L^p$ then the integral is defined
as $\int^\infty_{-\infty} fG=-\int^\infty_{-\infty} F(x)g(x)\,dx$,
where $g\in L^q$, $G(x)= \int_0^x g(t)\,dt$ and $1/p+1/q=1$. A norm
is $\lVert f\rVert'_p=\lVert F\rVert_p$. The spaces $L{\!}'^{\,p}$
and $L^p$ are isometrically isomorphic. Distributions in $L{\!}'^{\,p}$
share many properties with functions in $L^p$. Hence, $L{\!}'^{\,p}$ is
reflexive, its dual space is identified with $L^q$, there is a type of
H\"older inequality, continuity in norm, convergence theorems, Gateaux
derivative. It is a Banach lattice and abstract $L$-space. Convolutions
and Fourier transforms are defined. Convolution with the Poisson kernel is
well-defined and provides a solution to the half plane Dirichlet problem,
boundary values being taken on in the new norm. A product is defined that
makes $L{\!}'^{\,1}$ into a Banach algebra isometrically isomorphic to
the convolution algebra on $L^1$. Spaces of higher order derivatives of
$L^p$ functions are defined. These are also Banach spaces isometrically
isomorphic to $L^p$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Higher moments of Banach space
valued random variables" by Svante Janson and Sten Kaijser.


Abstract: We define the $k$:th moment of a Banach space valued random
variable as the expectation of its $k$:th tensor power; thus the moment
(if it exists) is an element of a tensor power of the original Banach
space.  We study both the projective and injective tensor products,
and their relation. Moreover, in order to be general and flexible,
we study three different types of expectations: Bochner integrals,
Pettis integrals and Dunford integrals.
  One of the problems studied is whether two random variables with
the same injective moments (of a given order) necessarily have the same
projective moments; this is of interest in applications. We show that
this holds if the Banach space has the approximation property, but not
in general.  Several sections are devoted to results in special Banach
spaces, including Hilbert spaces, $C(K)$ and $D[0,1]$. The latter space
is non-separable, which complicates the arguments, and we prove various
preliminary results on e.g.  measurability in $D[0,1]$ that we need.
One of the main motivations of this paper is the application to Zolotarev
metrics and their use in the contraction method. This is sketched in
an appendix.

This is an announcement for the paper "Stability of vector measures and
twisted sums of Banach spaces" by Tomasz Kochanek.


Abstract: A Banach space $X$ is said to have the $\mathsf{SVM}$ (stability
of vector measures) property if there exists a~constant $v<\infty$
such that for any algebra of sets $\mathcal F$, and any function
$\nu\colon\mathcal F\to X$ satisfying $$\|\nu(A\cup B)-\nu(A)-\nu(B)\|\leq
1\quad\mbox{for disjoint }A,B\in\mathcal F,$$there is a~vector measure
$\mu\colon\mathcal F\to X$ with $\|\nu(A)-\mu(A)\|\leq v$ for all
$A\in\mathcal F$. If this condition is valid when restricted to set
algebras $\mathcal F$ of cardinality less than some fixed cardinal
number $\kappa$, then we say that $X$ has the $\kappa$-$\mathsf{SVM}$
property. The least cardinal $\kappa$ for which $X$ does not have
the $\kappa$-$\mathsf{SVM}$ property (if it exists) is called the
$\mathsf{SVM}$ character of $X$. We apply the machinery of twisted sums
and quasi-linear maps to characterise these properties and to determine
$\mathsf{SVM}$ characters for many classical Banach spaces. We also
discuss connections between the $\kappa$-$\mathsf{SVM}$ property,
$\kappa$-injectivity and the `three-space' problem.

This is an announcement for the paper "Maximal left ideals of the Banach
algebra of bounded operators on a Banach space" by H. G. Dales, Tomasz

Abstract: We address the following two questions regarding the maximal
left ideals of the Banach algebra $\mathscr{B}(E)$ of bounded operators
acting on an infinite-dimensional Banach space $E$:
  (I) Does $\mathscr{B}(E)$ always contain a maximal left ideal which
  is not finitely generated?
  (II) Is every finitely-generated, maximal left ideal of $\mathscr{B}(E)$
necessarily of the form $\{ T\in\mathscr{B}(E) : Tx = 0\}$ (*) for some
non-zero $x\in E$?
  Since the two-sided ideal $\mathscr{F}(E)$ of finite-rank operators
is not contained in any of the maximal left ideals given by (*), a
positive answer to the second question would imply a positive answer to
the first.
  Our main results are: (i) Question (I) has a positive answer for most
(possibly all) infinite-dimensional Banach spaces; (ii) Question (II)
has a positive answer if and only if no finitely-generated, maximal left
ideal of $\mathscr{B}(E)$ contains $\mathscr{F}(E)$; (iii) the answer
to Question (II) is positive for many, but not all, Banach spaces.

Abstract: We study the separable complementation property (SCP) and
its natural variations in Banach spaces of continuous functions over
compacta $K_{\mathcal A}$ induced by almost disjoint families ${\mathcal
A}$ of countable subsets of uncountable sets. For these spaces, we prove
among others that $C(K_{\mathcal A})$ has the controlled variant of the
separable complementation property if and only if $C(K_{\mathcal A})$
is Lindel\"of in the weak topology if and only if $K_{\mathcal A}$ is
monolithic. We give an example of ${\mathcal A}$ for which $C(K_{\mathcal
A})$ has the SCP, while $K_{\mathcal A}$ is not monolithic and an example
of a space $C(K_{\mathcal A})$ with controlled and continuous SCP which
has neither a projectional skeleton nor a projectional resolution of the
identity. Finally, we describe the structure of almost disjoint families
of cardinality $\omega_1$ which induce monolithic spaces of the form $K_{
\mathcal A}$: They can be obtained from countably many ladder systems
and pairwise disjoint families applying simple operations.

Abstract: We prove that any Boolean algebra with the subsequential
completeness property contains an independent family of size
continuum. This improves a result of Argyros from the 80ties which
asserted the existence of an uncountable independent family. In fact we
prove it for a bigger class of Boolean algebras satisfying much weaker
properties. It follows that the Stone spaces of all such Boolean algebras
contains a copy of the Cech-Stone compactification of the integers and
the Banach space of contnuous functions on them has $l_\infty$ as a
quotient. Connections with the Grothendieck property in Banach spaces
are discussed.

This is an announcement for the paper "Markov type and threshold
embeddings" by Jian Ding, James R. Lee, and Yuval Peres.


Abstract: For two metric spaces $X$ and $Y$, say that $X$ {\em
threshold-embeds into $Y$} if there exist a number $K > 0$ and a
family of Lipschitz maps $\{\varphi_{\tau} : X \to Y : \tau > 0
\}$ such that for every $x,y \in X$, $$ d_X(x,y) \geq \tau \implies
d_Y(\varphi_{\tau}(x),\varphi_{\tau}(y)) \geq \|\varphi_{\tau}\|_{\Lip}
\tau/K\,, $$ where $\|\varphi_{\tau}\|_{\Lip}$ denotes the Lipschitz
constant of $\varphi_{\tau}$. We show that if a metric space $X$
threshold-embeds into a Hilbert space, then $X$ has Markov type 2. As
a consequence, planar graph metrics and doubling metrics have Markov
type 2, answering questions of Naor, Peres, Schramm, and Sheffield. More
generally, if a metric space $X$ threshold-embeds into a $p$-uniformly
smooth Banach space, then $X$ has Markov type $p$.
  The preceding result, together with Kwapien's theorem, is used to show
that if a Banach space threshold-embeds into a Hilbert space then it is
linearly isomorphic to a Hilbert space. This suggests some non-linear
analogs of Kwapien's theorem. For instance, a subset $X \subseteq L_1$
threshold-embeds into Hilbert space if and only if $X$ has Markov type 2.

Abstract: We describe a new operator space structure on $L_p$ when $p$

work using complex interpolation. For the new structure, the Khintchine
inequalities and Burkholder's martingale inequalities have a very natural
form:\ the span of the Rademacher functions is completely isomorphic to
the operator Hilbert space $OH$, and the square function of a martingale
difference sequence $d_n$ is $\Sigma \ d_n\otimes \bar d_n$. Various
inequalities from harmonic analysis are also considered in the same
operator valued framework. Moreover, the new operator space structure
also makes sense for non commutative $L_p$-spaces with analogous results.

This is an announcement for the paper "Norm attaining operators and
pseudospectrum" by Stanislav Shkarin.


Abstract: It is shown that if $1<p<\infty$ and $X$ is a subspace or a
quotient of an $\ell_p$-direct sum of finite dimensional Banach spaces,
then for any compact operator $T$ on $X$ such that $\|I+T\|>1$, the
operator $I+T$ attains its norm.  A reflexive Banach space $X$ and a
bounded rank one operator $T$ on $X$ are constructed such that $\|I+T\|>1$
and $I+T$ does not attain its norm.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the spectrum of frequently
hypercyclic operators" by Stanislav Shkarin.


Abstract: A bounded linear operator $T$ on a Banach space $X$ is called
frequently hypercyclic if there exists $x\in X$ such that the lower
density of the set $\{n\in\N:T^nx\in U\}$ is positive for any non-empty
open subset $U$ of $X$.  Bayart and Grivaux have raised a question whether
there is a frequently hypercyclic operator on any separable infinite
dimensional Banach space. We prove that the spectrum of a frequently
hypercyclic operator has no isolated points. It follows that there are
no frequently hypercyclic operators on all complex and on some real
hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces, which provides a negative
answer to the above question.

This is an announcement for the paper "Quantum expanders and geometry
of operator spaces" by Gilles Pisier.


Abstract: We show that there are well separated families of quantum
expanders with asymptotically the maximal cardinality allowed by a known
upper bound. This has applications to the ``local theory" of operator
spaces. This allows us to provide sharp estimates for the growth of the
multiplicity of $M_N$-spaces needed to represent (up to a constant $C>1$)
the $M_N$-version of the $n$-dimensional operator Hilbert space $OH_n$
as a direct sum of copies of $M_N$. We show that, when $C$ is close
to 1, this multiplicity grows as $\exp{\beta n N^2}$ for some constant
$\beta>0$. The main idea is to identify quantum expanders with ``smooth"
points on the matricial analogue of the unit sphere. This generalizes to
operator spaces a classical geometric result on $n$-dimensional Hilbert
space (corresponding to $N=1$). Our work strongly suggests to further
study a certain class of operator spaces that we call matricially
subGaussian.
  In a second part, we introduce and study a generalization of the
notion of exact operator space that we call subexponential. Using Random
Matrices we show that the factorization results of Grothendieck type that
are known in the exact case all extend to the subexponential case, and we
exhibit (a continuum of distinct) examples of non-exact subexponential
operator spaces. We also show that $OH$, $R+C$ and $\max(\ell_2)$
(or any other maximal operator space) are not subexponential.

This is an announcement for the paper "Differential expressions with
mixed homogeneity and spaces of smooth    functions they generate"
by S. V. Kislyakov, D. V. Maksimov, and D. M. Stolyarov.


Abstract: Let $\{T_1,\dots,T_l\}$ be a collection of differential
operators with constant coefficients on the torus $\mathbb{T}^n$. Consider
the Banach space $X$ of functions $f$ on the torus for which all functions
$T_j f$, $j=1,\dots,l$, are continuous. Extending the previous work of
the first two authors, we analyse the embeddability of $X$ into some
space $C(K)$ as a complemented subspace. We prove the following. Fix some
pattern of mixed homogeneity and extract the senior homogeneous parts
(relative to the pattern chosen) $\{\tau_1,\dots,\tau_l\}$ from the
initial operators $\{T_1,\dots,T_l\}$. Let $N$ be the dimension of the
linear span of $\{\tau_1,\dots,\tau_l\}$. If $N\geqslant 2$, then $X$
is not isomorphic to a complemented subspace of $C(K)$ for any compact
space $K$.
   The main ingredient of the proof of this fact is a new Sobolev-type
embedding theorem.

Abstract: Let $M$ be a von Neumann algebra and let $M_\star$ be its
(unique) predual.  We study when for every $\varphi\in M_\star$
there exists $\psi\in M_\star$ solving the equation $\|\varphi \pm
\psi\|=\|\varphi\|=\|\psi\|$. This is the case when $M$ does not contain
type I nor type III$_1$ factors as direct summands and it is false at
least for the unique hyperfinite type III$_1$ factor. An approximate
result valid for all diffuse von Neumann algebras allows to show that the
equation has solution for every element in the ultraproduct of preduals
of diffuse von Neumann algebras and, in particular, the dual von Neumann
algebra of such ultraproduct is diffuse. This shows that the Daugavet
property and the uniform Daugavet property are equivalent for preduals
of von Neumann algebras.

Abstract: We call a function constructible if it has a globally

subanalytic functions and logarithms of positively-valued globally
subanalytic functions. For any $q > 0$ and constructible functions
$f$ and $\mu$ on $E\times\RR^n$, we prove a theorem describing the
structure of the set of all $(x,p)$ in $E \times (0,\infty]$ for which
$y \mapsto f(x,y)$ is in $L^p(|\mu|_{x}^{q})$, where $|\mu|_{x}^{q}$
is the positive measure on $\RR^n$ whose Radon-Nikodym derivative with
respect to the Lebesgue measure is $y\mapsto |\mu(x,y)|^q$. We also prove
a closely related preparation theorem for $f$ and $\mu$. These results
relate analysis (the study of $L^p$-spaces) with geometry (the study of
zero loci).

This is an announcement for the paper "The $\epsilon-\epsilon^\beta$
property, the boundedness of isoperimetric sets in $\R^N$ with density,
and some applications" by Eleonora Cinti and Aldo Pratelli.


Abstract: We show that every isoperimetric set in R^N with density is
bounded if the density is continuous and bounded by above and below. This
improves the previously known boundedness results, which basically
needed a Lipschitz assumption; on the other hand, the present assumption
is sharp, as we show with an explicit example. To obtain our result,
we observe that the main tool which is often used, namely a classical
``\epsilon-\epsilon'' property already discussed by Allard, Almgren
and Bombieri, admits a weaker counterpart which is still sufficient for
the boundedness, namely, an ``\epsilon-\epsilon^\beta'' version of the
property. And in turn, while for the validity of the first property the
Lipschitz assumption is essential, for the latter the sole continuity
is enough. We conclude by deriving some consequences of our result about
the existence and regularity of isoperimetric sets.

This is an announcement for the paper "The Bohnenblust-Hille inequality
for real homogeneous polynomials is hypercontractive and this result

Abstract: It was recently shown by A. Montanaro that the low growth of
the constants of the multilinear Bohnenblust-Hille inequality, for real
scalars, plays a crucial role in Quantum Information Theory. In this
paper, among other results, we show that the polynomial Bohnenblust--Hille
inequality, for real scalars, is hypercontractive; the case of complex
scalars was recently proved in the paper "The Bohnhenblust-Hille
inequality for homogeneous polynomials is hypercontractive" , by Defant,
Frerick, Ortega-Cerd\'{a}, Ouna\"{\i}es, and Seip (Annals of Mathematics,
2011). Our proof is presented in a simple form, by making use of a deep
result that dates back to Erd\"os (Bull. Amer. Math. Soc., 1947). We
also show, in strong contrast to what happens in the case of multilinear
mappings, that the hypercontractive growth of these constants cannot be
improved. The complex version of this result remains still open.

and unbounded sequence $(\lambda_n)_{n\in N}\subset R^d$ we establish
the existence of a function $f\in L_p(R^d)$ and sequence $(g^*_n)_{n\in
N}\subset L_p^*(R^d)$ such that $(T_{\lambda_n} f, g^*_n)_{n\in N}$
forms an unconditional Schauder frame for $L_p(R^d)$. In particular,
there exists a Schauder frame of integer translates for $L_p(R)$ if
(and only if) $2<p<\infty$.

Abstract: In this paper coarse, uniform and strong embeddings of metric
spaces into Lebesgue sequence spaces are studied in their quantitative
aspects. In particular, strong deformation gaps are obtained when
embedding strongly a Hilbert space into $\ell_p$ for $0<p<  2$ as well as
new insights on the nonlinear geometry of the spaces $L_p$ and $\ell_p$
for $0<p<1$. The exact $\ell_q$-compression of $\ell_p$-spaces is
computed. Finally the coarse deformation of metric spaces with property
A and amenable groups is investigated.

This is an announcement for the paper "On convergence with respect to
an ideal and a family of matrices" by Jan-David Hardtke.


Abstract: Recently P. Das, S. Dutta and E. Savas introduced and
studied the notions of strong $A^I$-summability with respect to an
Orlicz function $F$ and $A^I$-statistical convergence, where $A$ is a
non-negative regular matrix and $I$ is an ideal on the set of natural
numbers. In this note, we will generalise these notions by replacing $A$
with a family of matrices and $F$ with a family of Orlicz functions or
moduli and study the thus obtained convergence methods.  We will also
give an application in Banach space theory, presenting a generalisation
of Simons' $\sup$-$\limsup$-theorem to the newly introduced convergence
methods (for the case that the filter generated by the ideal $I$ has a
countable base), continuing the author's previous work.

   We investigate also a conjugate to offered spaces and obtain some

instance, interpolation of operators), Integral Equations, Probability
Theory and Statistics (tail estimations for random variables).

Abstract: We introduce Lorentz spaces $L_{p(\cdot),q}(\R^n)$ and

basic properties of these spaces including embeddings and the identity
$L_{p(\cdot),p(\cdot)}(\R^n)=L_{p(\cdot)}(\R^n)$. We also show that
these spaces arise through real interpolation between $L_{\p}(\R^n)$
and $L_\infty(\R^n)$. Furthermore, we answer in a negative way the
question posed in \cite{DHN} whether the Marcinkiewicz interpolation
theorem holds in the frame of Lebesgue spaces with variable integrability.

also investigate the structure of these spaces and their duals.

having $\mu$ as a Pietsch measure. As an application we fill the gap in
the proofs of some results of concerning Pietsch-type factorization of
dominated polynomials.

This is an announcement for the paper "The Kalton-Lancien theorem
revisited: Maximal regularity does not extrapolate" by Stephan Fackler.


Abstract: We give a new more explicit proof of a result by Kalton &
Lancien stating that on each Banach space with an unconditional basis not
isomorphic to a Hilbert space there exists a generator of a holomorphic
semigroup which does not have maximal regularity. In particular, we show
that there always exists a Schauder basis (f_m) such that the generator
is a Schauder multiplier associated to the sequence (2^m). Moreover,
we show that maximal regularity does not extrapolate: we construct
consistent holomorphic semigroups (T_p(t)) on L^p for p in (1, \infty)
which have maximal regularity if and only if p = 2.  These assertions
were both open problems. Our approach is completely different than the
one of Kalton & Lancien. We use the characterization of maximal regularity
by R-sectoriality for our construction.

inequalities" by Vitali Milman and Liran Rotem.


Abstract: In this paper we define an addition operation on the class
of quasi-concave functions. While the new operation is similar to the
well-known sup-convolution, it has the property that it polarizes the
Lebesgue integral.  This allows us to define mixed integrals, which are
the functional analogs of the classic mixed volumes.
  We extend various classic inequalities, such as the Brunn-Minkowski and
the Alexandrov-Fenchel inequality, to the functional setting. For
general quasi-concave functions, this is done by restating those results
in the language of rearrangement inequalities. Restricting ourselves
to log-concave functions, we prove generalizations of the Alexandrov
inequalities in a more familiar form.

Lipschitz at $x$, and $f$ is G\^ateaux differentiable at $x$, then $f$
is Hadamard differentiable at $x$.
  If $f$ is Borel measurable (or has the Baire property) and is G\^ ateaux
differentiable at all points, then $f$ is Hadamard differentiable at
all points except a set which is $\sigma$-directionally porous set
(and so is Aronszajn null, Haar null and $\Gamma$-null). Consequently,
an everywhere G\^ ateaux differentiable $f: \R^n \to Y$ is Fr\' echet
differentiable except a nowhere dense $\sigma$-porous set.

This is an announcement for the paper "Generalized-Lush Spaces and the
Mazur-Ulam Property" by Dongni Tan, Xujian Huang, and Rui Liu.


Abstract: We introduce a new class of Banach spaces, called
generalized-lush spaces (GL-spaces for short), which contains
almost-CL-spaces, separable lush spaces (specially, separable $C$-rich
subspaces of $C(K)$), and even the two-dimensional space with hexagonal
norm. We obtain that the space $C(K,E)$ of the vector-valued continuous
functions is a GL-space whenever $E$ is, and show that the GL-space
is stable under $c_0$-, $l_1$- and $l_\infty$-sums. As an application,
we prove that the Mazur-Ulam property holds for a larger class of Banach
spaces, called local-GL-spaces, including all lush spaces and GL-spaces.
Furthermore, we generalize the stability properties of GL-spaces to
local-GL-spaces. From this, we can obtain many examples of Banach spaces
having the Mazur-Ulam property.

convergence in probability.  In this work, we provide a necessary
and sufficient structural condition that a set $X \subseteq L^0$

$Q$ that is equivalent to $P$ and such that $X$ is uniformly
$Q$-integrable. Furthermore, we connect the previous essentially
measure-free version of uniform integrability with local convexity of
the $L^0$-topology when restricted on convex, solid and bounded subsets
of $L^0$.

Abstract: In this appendix to our paper with the same title posted on
arxiv we give a quick proof of an inequality that can be substituted
to Hastings's result, quoted as Lemma 1.9 in our previous paper. Our
inequality is less sharp but also appears to apply with more general
(and even matricial) coefficients. It shows that up to a universal
constant all moments of the norm of a linear combination of the form
  $$S=\sum\nolimits_j a_j U_j \otimes \bar U_j (1-P)$$
are dominated by those of the corresponding Gaussian sum
  $$S'=\sum\nolimits_j a_j Y_j \otimes \bar Y'_j .$$
The advantage is that $S'$ is now simply separately a Gaussian random
variable with respect to the independent Gaussian random matrices $(Y_j)$
and $(Y'_j)$, and hence is much easier to majorize. Note we plan to
incorporate this appendix into our future publication.

This is an announcement for the paper "On mean outer radii of random
polytopes" by David Alonso-Gutierrez, Nikos Dafnis, Maria A. Hernandez
Cifre, and Joscha Prochno.


Abstract: In this paper we introduce a new sequence of quantities
for random polytopes.  Let $K_N=\conv\{X_1,\dots,X_N\}$ be a
random polytope generated by independent random vectors uniformly
distributed in an isotropic convex body $K$ of $\R^n$.  We prove that
the so-called $k$-th mean outer radius $\widetilde R_k(K_N)$ has order
$\max\{\sqrt{k},\sqrt{\log N}\}L_K$ with high probability if $n^2\leq
N\leq e^{\sqrt{n}}$. We also show that this is also the right order of
the expected value of $\widetilde R_k(K_N)$ in the full range $n\leq
N\leq e^{\sqrt{n}}$.

Abstract: By a result of Johnson, the Banach space
$F=(\bigoplus_{n=1}^\infty \ell_1^n)_{\ell_\infty}$ contains a
complemented copy of $\ell_1$. We identify $F$ with a complemented
subspace of the space of (bounded, linear) operators on the reflexive
space $(\bigoplus_{n=1}^\infty \ell_1^n)_{\ell_p}$ ($p\in (1,\infty))$,
thus giving a negative answer to the problem posed in the monograph of
Diestel and Uhl which asks whether the space of operators on a reflexive
Banach space is Grothendieck.

This is an announcement for the paper "Gateaux and Hadamard
differentiability via directional differentiability" by Ludek Zajicek.


Abstract: Let $X$ be a separable Banach space, $Y$ a Banach space and
$f: X \to Y$ an arbitrary mapping. Then the following implication holds
at each point $x \in X$ except a $\sigma$-directionally porous set:\
If the one-sided Hadamard directional derivative $f'_{H+}(x,u)$ exists
in all directions $u$ from a set $S_x \subset X$ whose linear span is
dense in $X$, then $f$ is Hadamard differentiable at $x$.
  This theorem improves and generalizes a recent result of A.D. Ioffe,
in which the linear span of $S_x$ equals $X$ and $Y = \R$.  An analogous
theorem, in which $f$ is pointwise Lipschitz, and which deals with the
usual one-sided derivatives and G\^ ateaux differentiability is also
proved. It generalizes a result of D. Preiss and the author, in which $f$
is supposed to be Lipschitz.

This is an announcement for the paper "Pointwise products of some Banach
function spaces and factorization" by Pawel Kolwicz, Karol Lesnik and

Abstract: The well-known factorization theorem of Lozanovski{\u \i} may be
written in the form $L^{1}\equiv E\odot E^{\prime }$, where $\odot $ means
the pointwise product of Banach ideal spaces. A natural generalization
of this problem would be the question when one can factorize $F$ through
$E$, i.e., when $F\equiv E\odot M(E, F) \,$, where $M(E, F) $ is the
space of pointwise multipliers from $E$ to $F$. Properties of $M(E, F) $
were investigated in our earlier paper [KLM12] and here we collect and
prove some properties of the construction $E\odot F$. The formulas for
pointwise product of Calder\'{o}n-Lozanovski{\u \i} $E_{\varphi}$ spaces,
Lorentz spaces and Marcinkiewicz spaces are proved.  These results are
then used to prove factorization theorems for these spaces.  Finally,
it is proved in Theorem 11 that under some natural assumptions, a
rearrangement invariant Banach function space may be factorized through
Marcinkiewicz space.

for any Banach space $X$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Generic orbits and type isolation
in the Gurarij space" by Itai Ben Yaacov and C. Ward Henson.


Abstract: We study model-theoretic aspects of the separable Gurarij
space $\bG$, in particular type isolation and the existence of prime
models, without use of formal logic. \begin{enumerate} \item If $E$
is a finite-dimensional Banach space, then the set of isolated types
over $E$ is dense, and there exists a prime Gurarij over $E$. This is
the unique separable Gurarij space $\bG$ extending $E$ with the unique
Hahn-Banach extension property (\emph{property $U$}), and the orbit
of $\id\colon E \hookrightarrow \bG$ under the action of $\Aut(\bG)$
is a dense $G_\delta$ in the space of all linear isometric embeddings
$E \hookrightarrow \bG$. \item If $E$ is infinite-dimensional then there
are no non realised isolated types, and therefore no prime model over $E$
(unless $\bG \cong E$), and all orbits of embeddings $E \hookrightarrow
\bG$ are meagre. On the other hand, there are Gurarij spaces extending
$E$ with property $U$. \end{enumerate} We also point out that the class
of Gurarij space is the class of models of an $\aleph_0$-categorical
theory with quantifier elimination, and calculate the density character
of the space of types over $E$, answering a question of Avil\'es et al.

Abstract: We study pairs of Banach spaces $(X,Y)$, with $Y\subset X$,
for which the thesis of Sobczyk's theorem holds, namely, such that every
bounded $c_0$-valued operator defined in $Y$ extends to $X$. In this
case, we say that $Y$ has the $c_0$-extension property in $X$. We are
mainly concerned with the case when $X$ is a $C(K)$ space and $Y\equiv
C(L)$ is a Banach subalgebra of $C(K)$. The main result of the article
states that, if $K$ is a compact line and $L$ is countable, then $C(L)$
has the $c_0$-extension property in $C(K)$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Narrow and $\ell_2$-strictly
singular operators from $L_p$" by V. Mykhaylyuk, M. Popov,
B. Randrianantoanina, and G. Schechtman.


Abstract: In the first part of the paper we prove that for $2 < p, r <
\infty$ every operator $T: L_p \to \ell_r$ is narrow. This completes the
list of sequence and function Lebesgue spaces $X$ with the property that
every operator $T:L_p \to X$ is narrow.
  Next, using similar methods we prove that every $\ell_2$-strictly
singular operator from $L_p$, $1<p<\infty$, to any Banach space with an
unconditional basis, is narrow, which partially answers a question of
Plichko and Popov posed in 1990.
  A theorem of H.~P.~Rosenthal asserts that if an operator $T$ on
$L_1[0,1]$ satisfies the assumption that for each measurable set $A
\subseteq [0,1]$ the restriction $T \bigl|_{L_1(A)}$ is not an isomorphic
embedding, then $T$ is narrow.  (Here $L_1(A) = \{x \in L_1: {\rm supp}
\, x \subseteq A\}$.) Inspired by this result, in the last part of the
paper, we find a sufficient condition, of a different flavor than being
$\ell_2$-strictly singular, for operators on $L_p[0,1]$, $1<p<2$, to be
narrow. We define a notion of a ``gentle'' growth of a function and we
prove that for $1 < p < 2$ every operator $T$ on $L_p$ which, for every
$A\subseteq[0,1]$, sends a function of ``gentle" growth supported on $A$
to a function of arbitrarily small norm is narrow.

Abstract: We study the numerical radius of Lipschitz operators on Banach
spaces via the Lipschitz numerical index, which is an analogue of the
numerical index in Banach space theory. We give a characterization of
the numerical radius and obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for
Banach spaces to have Lipschitz numerical index $1$. As an application,
we show that real lush spaces and $C$-rich subspaces have Lipschitz
numerical index $1$. Moreover, using the G$\hat{a}$teaux differentiability
of Lipschitz operators, we characterize the Lipschitz numerical index of
separable Banach spaces with the RNP. Finally, we prove that the Lipschitz
numerical index has the stability properties for the $c_0$-, $l_1$-, and
$l_\infty$-sums of spaces and vector-valued function spaces. From this,
we show that the $C(K)$ spaces, $L_1(\mu)$-spaces and $L_\infty(\nu)$
spaces have Lipschitz numerical index $1$.

on X which attains its norm only at the points of the form $ \lambda x $
with $ \lambda \in S_{K} $.

This is an announcement for the paper "Operators ideals and approximation
properties" by Silvia Lassalle and Pablo Turco.


Abstract: We use the notion of $\A$-compact sets, which are determined
by a Banach operator ideal $\A$, to show that most classic results of
certain approximation properties and several Banach operator ideals can
be systematically studied under this framework. We say that a Banach
space enjoys the $\A$-approximation property if the identity map is
uniformly approximable on $\A$-compact sets by finite rank operators. The
Grothendieck's classic approximation property is the $\K$-approximation
property for $\K$ the ideal of compact operators and the $p$-approximation
property is obtained as the $\mathcal N^p$-approximation property for
$\mathcal N^p$ the ideal of right $p$-nuclear operators. We introduce
a way to measure the size of $\A$-compact sets and use it to give
a norm on $\K_\A$, the ideal of $\A$-compact operators. Most of our
results concerning the operator Banach ideal $\K_\A$ are obtained for
right-accessible ideals $\A$. For instance, we prove that $\K_\A$ is a
dual ideal, it is regular and we characterize its maximal hull. A strong
concept of approximation property, which makes use of the norm defined
on $\K_\A$, is also addressed.  Finally, we obtain a generalization of
Schwartz theorem with a revisited $\epsilon$-product.

\Big(\|f(xa)-f(x)\|^q_X+\|f(xb)-f(x)\|^q_X\Big). \end{multline*} It
follows that for every $n\in \N$ the bi-Lipschitz distortion of every
$f:B_n\to X$ is at least a constant multiple of $(\log n)^{1/q}$, an
asymptotically optimal estimate as $n\to\infty$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Minimal volume product near Hanner
polytopes" by Jaegil Kim.


Abstract: Mahler's conjecture asks whether the cube is a minimizer for the
volume product of a body and its polar in the class of symmetric convex
bodies in a fixed dimension. It is known that every Hanner polytope
has the same volume product as the cube or the cross-polytope. In this
paper we prove that every Hanner polytope is a strict local minimizer
for the volume product in the class of symmetric convex bodies endowed
with the Banach-Mazur distance.

This is an announcement for the paper "Covering $L^p$ spaces by balls"
by Vladimir P. Fonf, Michael Levin and Clemente Zanco.


Abstract: We prove that, given any covering of any separable
infinite-dimensional uniformly rotund and uniformly smooth Banach space
$X$ by closed balls each of positive radius, some point exists in $X$
which belongs to infinitely many balls.

This is an announcement for the paper "In which dimensions is the ball
relatively worst packing?" by Yoav Kallus and Fedor Nazarov.


Abstract: It was conjectured by Ulam that the ball has the lowest
optimal lattice packing density out of all convex, origin-symmetric
three-dimensional solids.  We affirm a local version of this conjecture:
the ball has a lower optimal lattice packing than any body of sufficiently
small asphericity in three dimensions. We also show that in dimensions
4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 24 there are bodies of arbitrarily small asphericity
that pack worse than balls.

Abstract: It is shown that the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function
associated to the cube in $\mathbb R^n$ obeys dimensional free bounds
in $L^p$ fir $p>1$. Earlier work only covered the range $p>\frac 32$.
