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 "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.

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.

This is an announcement for the paper "Reflexive Cones" by Emanuele 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.

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.

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.

Workshop in Analysis and Probability Department of Mathematics 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 http://www.math.tamu.edu/~kerr/workshop/ 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. For logistical support, including requests for support, please contact Cara Barton <cara at math.tamu.edu>.

This is an announcement for the paper "On randomness reduction in the Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma" by Pawel Wolff. 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.

This is an announcement for the paper "Higher order spreading models" by S. A. Argyros, V. Kanellopoulos, and K. Tyros. 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.

This is an announcement for the paper "Noncommutative and vector-valued Boyd interpolation theorems" by Sjoerd Dirksen. Abstract: We present a new, elementary proof of Boyd's interpolation theorem. Our approach naturally yields a vector-valued as well as 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, P. Linares, and J.G. Llavona. 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.

This is an announcement for the paper "Compact and weakly compact disjointness preserving operators on spaces of differentiable functions" by Denny H. Leung and Ya-Shu Wang. Abstract: A pair of functions defined on a set X with values in a vector space E is said to be disjoint if at least one of the functions takes the value $0$ at every point in X. An operator acting between vector-valued function spaces is disjointness preserving if it maps disjoint functions to disjoint functions. We characterize compact and weakly compact disjointness preserving operators between spaces of Banach space-valued differentiable functions.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the maximum of random variables on product spaces" by Joscha Prochno and Stiene Riemer. Abstract: Let $\xi_i$, $i=1,...,n$, and $\eta_j$, $j=1,...,m$ be iid p-stable respectively q-stable random variables, $1<p<q<2$. We prove estimates for $\Ex_{\Omega_1} \Ex_{\Omega_2}\max_{i,j}\abs{a_{ij}\xi_i(\omega_1)\eta_j(\omega_2)}$ in 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.

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.

Abstract: We prove that for any compact set B in R^d and for any epsilon >0 there is a finite subset X of B of |X|=d^{O(1/epsilon^2)} points such that the maximum absolute value of any linear function ell: R^d --> R on X approximates the maximum absolute value of ell on B within a factor of epsilon sqrt{d}. We also prove that for any finite set B in Z^d and for any positive integer k there is a convex set C in R^d containing B such that C is an affine image of a section of the cone of rxr positive semidefinite matrices for r=d^{O(k)} and such that for any linear function ell: R^d --> R with integer coefficients the maximum absolute value of ell on B and the maximum absolute value of ell on C coincide provided the former does not exceed k.

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.

This is an announcement for the paper "An inversion formula for Orlicz norms and sequences of random variables" by Soeren Christensen, Joscha Prochno, and Stiene Riemer. Abstract: Given an Orlicz function $M$, we show which random variables $\xi_i$, $i=1,...,n$ generate the associated Orlicz norm, i.e., which random variables yield $\mathbb{E} \max\limits_{1\leq i \leq n}|x_i\xi_i| \sim \norm{(x_i)_{i=1}^n}_M$. As a corollary we obtain a representation for the distribution function in terms of $M$ and $M'$ which can be easily applied to many examples of interest.

This is an announcement for the paper "Certifying the restricted isometry property is hard" by Afonso S. Bandeira, Edgar Dobriban, Dustin G. Mixon, and William F. Sawin. 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: In this paper, we will show that for an operator $T$ which is injective and has dense range, there exists an invertible operator $X$ (in fact we can find $U+K$, where $U$ is an unitary operator and $K$ is a compact operator with norm less than a given positive real number) such that $XT$ is strongly irreducible. As its application, strongly irreducible operators always exist in the orbit of Schauder matrices.

Abstract: Let $T$ be a bounded linear operator on a (real or complex) Banach space $X$. If $(a_n)$ is a sequence of non-negative numbers 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 $X$.

Pellegrino and J.B. Seoane-Sepulveda. Abstract: Let $(\Omega,\Sigma,\mu)$ be a measure space and $1< p < +\infty$. In this paper we determine when the set $L_{p}(\Omega) - \bigcup\limits_{1 \leq q < p}L_{q}(\Omega)$ 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.

This is an announcement for the paper "On \sigma-convex subsets in spaces of scatteredly continuous functions" by Taras Banakh, Bogdan Bokalo, and Nadiya Kolos. 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.

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.

This is an announcement for the paper "When is the Haar measure a Pietsch measure for nonlinear mappings?" by G. Botelho, D. Pellegrino, P. Rueda, J. Santos and J.B. Seoane-Sepulveda. Abstract: We show that, as in the linear case, the normalized Haar measure on a compact topological group $G$ is a Pietsch measure for nonlinear summing mappings on closed translation invariant subspaces of $C(G)$. This answers a question posed to the authors by J. Diestel. We also show that our result applies to several well-studied classes of nonlinear summing mappings. In the final section some problems are proposed.

Abstract: In this note we prove that $\frac{1}{n!} \sum_{\pi} ( \sum_{i=1}^n |x_i a_{i,\pi(i)} |^2)^{\frac{1}{2}}$ is equivalent to a Musielak-Orlicz norm $\norm{x}_{\sum M_i}$. We also obtain the inverse 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].

This is an announcement for the paper "Pointwise convergence of vector-valued Fourier series" by Tuomas P. Hytonen and Michael T. Lacey. 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 study the expected value of support functions of random polytopes in a certain direction, where the random polytope is given by independent random vectors uniformly distributed in an isotropic convex body. All results are obtained by an utterly novel approach, using probabilistic estimates in connection with Orlicz norms that were not used in this connection before.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the Gaussian behavior of marginals and the mean width of random polytopes" by David Alonso-Gutierrez and Joscha Prochno. Abstract: We show that the expected value of the mean width of a random polytope generated by $N$ random vectors ($n\leq N\leq e^{\sqrt n}$) 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.

1st ANNOUNCEMENT OF SUMIRFAS 2012 The Informal Regional Functional Analysis Seminar August 3-5 Texas A&M University, College Station Schedule: Talks for SUMIRFAS will be posted on the Workshop in Analysis and Probability page, whose NEW URL is http://www.math.tamu.edu/~kerr/workshop/ The first talk will be in the early afternoon on Friday and the Seminar concludes by lunch time on Sunday. All talks will be in Blocker 169. The Blocker Building is on Ireland St. just south of University Dr. on the Texas A&M campus: http://www.math.tamu.edu/contact/blocker.html. Coffee and refreshments will be available in Blocker 148. Speakers at SUMIRFAS 2012 include Pete Casazza Ed Effros Su Gao Ali Kavruk Masoud Khalkhali Izabella Laba Michael Lacey Paul Mueller Darrin Speegle Russ Thompson 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.

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.

This is an announcement for the paper "A hereditarily indecomposable Banach space with rich spreading model structure" by Spiros A. Argyros and Pavlos Motakis. 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 $\mathbb T^n$.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the polynomial Lindenstrauss theorem" by Daniel Carando, Silvia Lassalle and Martin Mazzitelli. Abstract: Under certain hypotheses on the Banach space $X$, we show that the set of $N$-homogeneous polynomials from $X$ to any dual space, whose 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.

This is an announcement for the paper "Super-ideals in Banach spaces" by Trond A. Abrahamsen Vegard Lima, and Olav Nygaard. 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.

This is an announcement for the paper "Embeddability of snowflaked metrics with applications to the nonlinear geometry of the spaces $L_p$ and $\ell_{p}$ for $0<p<\infty$" by Fernando Albiac and Florent Baudier. Abstract: We study the classical spaces $L_{p}$ and $\ell_{p}$ for the whole range $0<p<\infty$ from a metric viewpoint and give a complete 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 $\ell_{p}$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Thrifty approximations of convex bodies by polytopes" by Alexander Barvinok. Abstract: Given a convex body C in R^d we construct a polytope P in C with relatively few vertices which approximates C relatively well. In particular, we prove that if C=-C then for any 1>epsilon>0 to have P in 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 Kochanek. 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.

This is an announcement for the paper "Hilbert-Schauder frame operators" by Rui Liu. Abstract: We introduce a new concept of frame operators for Banach spaces we call a Hilbert-Schauder frame operator. This is a hybird between standard frame theory for Hilbert spaces and Schauder frame theory for Banach spaces. Most of our results involve basic structure properties of the Hilbert-Schauder frame operator. Examples of Hilbert-Schauder frames include standard Hilbert frames and classical bases of $\ell_p$ and $L^p$-spaces with $1< p \le 2$. Finally, we give a new isomorphic characterization of Hilbert spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "Angles and a classification of normed spaces" by Volker Wilhelm Thurey. 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 $n.$ Archive classification: math.FA Submitted from: dmpellegrino at gmail.com The paper may be downloaded from the archive by web browser from URL http://front.math.ucdavis.edu/1207.0124 or http://arXiv.org/abs/1207.0124

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 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 ${\mathcal A}\circ{\mathcal K}$, Archive classification: math.FA Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 46B50, Secondary 46B20, 46B28, 47B07 Remarks: 23 pages Submitted from: anilkarn at niser.ac.in The paper may be downloaded from the archive by web browser from URL http://front.math.ucdavis.edu/1207.1947 or http://arXiv.org/abs/1207.1947

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.

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).

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 $\mu$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Some remarks on universality properties of $\ell_\infty / c_0$" by Mikolaj Krupski and Witold Marciszewski. Abstract: We prove that if continuum is not a Kunen cardinal, then there is a uniform Eberlein compact space $K$ such that the Banach space $C(K)$ 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.

This is an announcement for the paper "Rigidity of commuting affine actions on reflexive Banach spaces" by Christian Rosendal. Abstract: We give a simple argument to show that if {\alpha} is an affine isometric action of a product G x H of topological groups on a reflexive 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 Pellegrini. 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.

This is an announcement for the paper "Rs-sectorial operators and generalized Triebel-Lizorkin spaces" by Peer Christian Kunstmann and Alexander Ullmann. 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.

This is an announcement for the paper "Nonlinear spectral calculus and super-expanders" by Manor Mendel and Assaf Naor. Abstract: Nonlinear spectral gaps with respect to uniformly convex normed spaces are shown to satisfy a spectral calculus inequality that 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.

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.

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.

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.

This is an announcement for the paper "Reflexive Cones" by Emanuele 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.

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: 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.

Workshop in Analysis and Probability Department of Mathematics 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 http://www.math.tamu.edu/~kerr/workshop/ 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).

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.

Our approach naturally yields a vector-valued as well as 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, P. Linares, and J.G. Llavona. 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.

Abstract: In this paper, we firstly give a matrix approach to the bases of a separable Hilbert space and then correct a mistake appearing in both review and the English translation of the Olevskii's paper. After this, we show that even a diagonal compact operator may map an orthonormal basis into a conditional basis.

This is an announcement for the paper "Compact and weakly compact disjointness preserving operators on spaces of differentiable functions" by Denny H. Leung and Ya-Shu Wang. Abstract: A pair of functions defined on a set X with values in a vector space E is said to be disjoint if at least one of the functions takes the value $0$ at every point in X. An operator acting between vector-valued function spaces is disjointness preserving if it maps disjoint functions to disjoint functions. We characterize compact and weakly compact disjointness preserving operators between spaces of Banach space-valued differentiable functions.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the maximum of random variables on product spaces" by Joscha Prochno and Stiene Riemer. Abstract: Let $\xi_i$, $i=1,...,n$, and $\eta_j$, $j=1,...,m$ be iid p-stable respectively q-stable random variables, $1<p<q<2$. We prove estimates for $\Ex_{\Omega_1} \Ex_{\Omega_2}\max_{i,j}\abs{a_{ij}\xi_i(\omega_1)\eta_j(\omega_2)}$ in 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.

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.

We also prove that for any finite set B in Z^d and for any positive integer k there is a convex set C in R^d containing B such that C is an affine image of a section of the cone of rxr positive semidefinite matrices for r=d^{O(k)} and such that for any linear function ell: R^d --> R with integer coefficients the maximum absolute value of ell on B and the maximum absolute value of ell on C coincide provided the former does not exceed k.

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.

This is an announcement for the paper "Certifying the restricted isometry property is hard" by Afonso S. Bandeira, Edgar Dobriban, Dustin G. Mixon, and William F. Sawin. 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) Banach space $X$. If $(a_n)$ is a sequence of non-negative numbers 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 $X$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Subspaces of maximal dimension contained in $L_{p}(\Omega) - \textstyle\bigcup\limits_{q<p}L_{q}(\Omega)$}" by G. Botelho, D. Cariello, V.V. Favaro, D. Pellegrino and J.B. Seoane-Sepulveda. Abstract: Let $(\Omega,\Sigma,\mu)$ be a measure space and $1< p < +\infty$. In this paper we determine when the set $L_{p}(\Omega) - \bigcup\limits_{1 \leq q < p}L_{q}(\Omega)$ 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.

This is an announcement for the paper "On \sigma-convex subsets in spaces of scatteredly continuous functions" by Taras Banakh, Bogdan Bokalo, and Nadiya Kolos. 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 "(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.

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.

Applications to sets of Lebesgue-nowhere-Riemann integrable and Riemann-nowhere-Newton integrable functions are presented as corollaries.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the Gaussian behavior of marginals and the mean width of random polytopes" by David Alonso-Gutierrez and Joscha Prochno. Abstract: We show that the expected value of the mean width of a random polytope generated by $N$ random vectors ($n\leq N\leq e^{\sqrt n}$) 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.

1st ANNOUNCEMENT OF SUMIRFAS 2012 The Informal Regional Functional Analysis Seminar August 3-5 Texas A&M University, College Station Schedule: Talks for SUMIRFAS will be posted on the Workshop in Analysis and Probability page, whose NEW URL is http://www.math.tamu.edu/~kerr/workshop/ The first talk will be in the early afternoon on Friday and the Seminar concludes by lunch time on Sunday. All talks will be in Blocker 169. The Blocker Building is on Ireland St. just south of University Dr. on the Texas A&M campus: http://www.math.tamu.edu/contact/blocker.html. Coffee and refreshments will be available in Blocker 148. Speakers at SUMIRFAS 2012 include Pete Casazza Ed Effros Su Gao Ali Kavruk Masoud Khalkhali Izabella Laba Michael Lacey Paul Mueller Darrin Speegle Russ Thompson 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.

This is an announcement for the paper "A hereditarily indecomposable Banach space with rich spreading model structure" by Spiros A. Argyros and Pavlos Motakis. 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 $\mathbb T^n$.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the polynomial Lindenstrauss theorem" by Daniel Carando, Silvia Lassalle and Martin Mazzitelli. Abstract: Under certain hypotheses on the Banach space $X$, we show that the set of $N$-homogeneous polynomials from $X$ to any dual space, whose 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.

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 with relatively few vertices which approximates C relatively well. In particular, we prove that if C=-C then for any 1>epsilon>0 to have P in 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 Kochanek. 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.

This is an announcement for the paper "Angles and a classification of normed spaces" by Volker Wilhelm Thurey. 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 $n.$ Archive classification: math.FA Submitted from: dmpellegrino at gmail.com The paper may be downloaded from the archive by web browser from URL http://front.math.ucdavis.edu/1207.0124 or http://arXiv.org/abs/1207.0124

This is an announcement for the paper "Lebesgue type inequalities for quasi-greedy bases" by Gustavo Garrigos, Eugenio Hernandez, and Timur Oikhberg. Abstract: We show that for quasi-greedy bases in real or complex Banach spaces the error of the thresholding greedy algorithm of order N is 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 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 ${\mathcal A}\circ{\mathcal K}$, Archive classification: math.FA Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 46B50, Secondary 46B20, 46B28, 47B07 Remarks: 23 pages Submitted from: anilkarn at niser.ac.in The paper may be downloaded from the archive by web browser from URL http://front.math.ucdavis.edu/1207.1947 or http://arXiv.org/abs/1207.1947

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.

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 "$\mathcal F$-bases with individual brackets in Banach spaces" by Tomasz Kochanek. 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 is a uniform Eberlein compact space $K$ such that the Banach space $C(K)$ 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.

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 Pellegrini. 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.

This is an announcement for the paper "Rs-sectorial operators and generalized Triebel-Lizorkin spaces" by Peer Christian Kunstmann and Alexander Ullmann. 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.

Abstract: Nonlinear spectral gaps with respect to uniformly convex normed spaces are shown to satisfy a spectral calculus inequality that 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.

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: In a real locally convex Hausdorff space the closed convex hull of every metrizable compact set is compact if (and only if) every continuous curve has a Pettis integral with respect to Lebesgue measure. For such spaces there is a natural concept of Bochner integrals.

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: Analogues of the classical inequalities from the Brunn-Minkowski theory for rotation intertwining additive maps of convex bodies are developed. Analogues are also proved of inequalities from the dual Brunn-Minkowski theory for intertwining additive maps of star bodies. These inequalities provide generalizations of results for projection and intersection bodies. As a corollary, a new Brunn-Minkowski inequality is obtained for the volume of polar projection bodies.

This is an announcement for the paper "Convolutions and multiplier transformations of convex bodies" by Franz E. Schuster. Abstract: Rotation intertwining maps from the set of convex bodies in Rn into itself that are continuous linear operators with respect 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.

This is an announcement for the paper "Some affine invariants revisited" by Alina Stancu. Abstract: We present several sharp inequalities for the $SL(n)$ invariant $\Omega_{2,n}(K)$ introduced in our earlier work on centro-affine invariants for smooth convex bodies containing the origin. A connection 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 Kania, Tomasz Kochanek, Piotr Koszmider, and Niels Jakob Laustsen. 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.

In the non-reflexive spaces, we show that the same is true for operators which have non-eigenvalues in the boundary of their spectrum. In the Hilbert space, our methods produce perturbations that are also small in norm, improving on an old result of Brown and Pearcy.

This is an announcement for the paper "Almost disjoint families of countable sets and separable properties" by Jesus Ferrer, Piotr Koszmider, and Wieslaw Kubis. 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.

This is an announcement for the paper "Independent families in Boolean algebras with some separation" by Piotr Koszmider and Saharon Shelah. 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 $p$ is an even integer and compare it with the one introduced in our previous 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 "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.

The proof is based on the use of the Szlenk index and yields a few other applications to renorming theory.

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.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the geometry of von Neumann algebra preduals" by Miguel Martin and Yoshimichi Ueda. 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.

This is an announcement for the paper "Lebesgue classes and preparation of real constructible functions" by Raf Cluckers and Daniel J. Miller. Abstract: We call a function constructible if it has a globally subanalytic domain and can be expressed as a sum of products of 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 is optimal" by D. Pellegrino and J.B. Seoane-Sepulveda. 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.

Abstract: We prove that a sequence $(f_i)_{i=1}^\infty$ of translates of a fixed $f\in L_p(R)$ cannot be an unconditional basis of $L_p(R)$ for any $1\le p<\infty$. In contrast to this, for every $2<p<\infty$, $d\in N$ 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) $2<p<\infty$.

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.

This is an announcement for the paper "Function spaces not containing $\ell_{1}$" by S.A. Argyros, A. Manoussakis, and M. Petrakis. Abstract: For $\Omega$ bounded and open subset of $\mathbb{R}^{d_{0}}$ and $X$ a reflexive Banach space with $1$-symmetric basis, the function space $JF_{X}(\Omega)$ is defined. This class of spaces includes the classical James function space. Every member of this class is separable and has non-separable dual. We provide a proof of topological nature that $JF_{X}(\Omega)$ does not contain an isomorphic copy of $\ell_{1}$. We also investigate the structure of these spaces and their duals.

This is an announcement for the paper "On Pietsch measures for summing operators and dominated polynomials" by Geraldo Botelho, Daniel Pellegrino, and Pilar Rueda. Abstract: We relate the injectivity of the canonical map from $C(B_{E'})$ to $L_p(\mu)$, where $\mu$ is a regular Borel probability measure on the closed unit ball $B_{E'}$ of the dual $E'$ of a Banach space $E$ endowed with the weak* topology, to the existence of injective $p$-summing linear operators/$p$-dominated homogeneous polynomials defined on $E$ 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.

This is an announcement for the paper "Mixed integrals and related 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.

Abstract: Let $X$ be a separable Banach space, $Y$ a Banach space and $f: X \to Y$ a mapping. We prove that there exists a $\sigma$-directionally porous set $A\subset X$ such that if $x\in X \setminus A$, $f$ is 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.

Abstract: Let $L^0$ be the vector space of all (equivalence classes of) real-valued random variables built over a probability space $(\Omega, \mathcal{F}, P)$, equipped with a metric topology compatible with convergence in probability. In this work, we provide a necessary and sufficient structural condition that a set $X \subseteq L^0$ should satisfy in order to infer the existence of a probability $Q$ 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 $L^0$.

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

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.

We also show that this is also the right order of the expected value of $\widetilde R_k(K_N)$ in the full range $n\leq N\leq e^{\sqrt{n}}$.

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 Lech Maligranda. 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.

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.

This is an announcement for the paper "On extensions of $c_0$-valued operators" by Claudia Correa and Daniel V. Tausk. 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.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the numerical radius of Lipschitz operators in Banach spaces" by Ruidong Wang, Xujian Huang, and Dongni Tan. 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 $1$.

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.

This is an announcement for the paper "Orthogonality in $\ell _p$-spaces and its bearing on ordered Banach spaces" by Anil Kumar Karn. Abstract: We introduce a notion of $p$-orthogonality in a general Banach space $1 \le p \le \infty$. We use this concept to characterize $\ell _p$-spaces among Banach spaces and also among complete order smooth $p$-normed spaces. We further introduce a notion of $p$-orthogonal decomposition in order smooth $p$-normed spaces. We prove that if the $\infty$-orthogonal decomposition holds in an order smooth $\infty$-normed space, then the $1$-orthogonal decomposition holds in the dual space. We also give an example to show that the above said decomposition may not be unique.

Abstract: Given a matrix U, using a deterministic method, we extract a "large" submatrix of U'(whose columns are obtained by normalizing those of U) and estimate its smallest and largest singular value. We apply this result to the study of contact points of the unit ball with its maximal volume ellipsoid. We consider also the paving problem and give a deterministic algorithm to partition a matrix into almost isometric blocks recovering previous results of Bourgain-Tzafriri and Tropp. Finally, we partially answer a question raised by Naor about finding an algorithm in the spirit of Batson-Spielman-Srivastava's work to extract a "large" square submatrix of "small" norm.

This is an announcement for the paper "Vertical versus horizontal Poincar\'e inequalities on the Heisenberg group" by Vincent Lafforgue and Assaf Naor. Abstract: Let $\H= \left\langle a,b\,|\, a[a,b]=[a,b]a\ \wedge\ b[a,b]=[a,b]b\right\rangle$ be the discrete Heisenberg group, equipped with the left-invariant word metric $d_W(\cdot,\cdot)$ associated to the generating set $\{a,b,a^{-1},b^{-1}\}$. Letting $B_n= \{x\in \H:\ d_W(x,e_\H)\le n\}$ denote the corresponding closed ball of radius $n\in \N$, and writing $c=[a,b]=aba^{-1}b^{-1}$, we prove that if $(X,\|\cdot\|_X)$ is a Banach space whose modulus of uniform convexity has power type $q\in [2,\infty)$ then there exists $K\in (0,\infty)$ such that every $f:\H\to X$ satisfies \begin{multline*} \sum_{k=1}^{n^2}\sum_{x\in B_n}\frac{ \|f(xc^k)-f(x)\|_X^q}{k^{1+q/2}}\\\le K\sum_{x\in B_{21n}} \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 $n\to\infty$.

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.
