This is an announcement for the paper "Slicing inequalities for measures
of convex bodies" by Alexander Koldobsky.


Abstract:
  We consider a generalization of the hyperplane problem to arbitrary
measures in place of volume and to sections of lower dimensions. We prove
this generalization for unconditional convex bodies and for duals of
bodies with bounded volume ratio. We also prove it for arbitrary symmetric
convex bodies under the condition that the dimension of sections is less
than $\lambda n$ for some $\lambda\in (0,1).$ The constant depends only
on $\lambda.$ Finally, we show that the behavior of the minimal sections
for some measures may be different from the case of volume.

This is an announcement for the paper "An application of virtual
degeneracy to two-valued subsets of $L_{p}$-spaces" by Anthony Weston.


Abstract:
  Suppose $0 < p < 2$ and that $(\Omega, \mu)$ is a measure space
for which $L_{p}(\Omega, \mu)$ is at least two-dimensional. Kelleher,
Miller, Osborn and Weston have shown that if a subset $B$ of
$L_{p}(\Omega, \mu)$ does not have strict $p$-negative type, then $B$
is affinely dependent (when $L_{p}(\Omega, \mu)$ is considered as a
real vector space). Examples show that the converse of this statement
is not true in general. In this note we describe a class of subsets of
$L_{p}(\Omega, \mu)$ for which the converse statement holds. We prove that
if a two-valued set $B \subset L_{p}(\Omega, \mu)$ is affinely dependent
(when $L_{p}(\Omega, \mu)$ is considered as a real vector space), then
$B$ does not have strict $p$-negative type. This result is peculiar to
two-valued subsets of $L_{p}(\Omega, \mu)$ and generalizes an elegant
theorem of Murugan. It follows, moreover, that of certain types of
isometry with range in $L_{p}(\Omega, \mu)$ cannot exist.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the optimal constants of the
Bohnenblust--Hille and inequalities" by Daniel Pellegrino.


Abstract:
  We find the optimal constants of the generalized Bohnenblust--Hille
inequality for $m$-linear forms over $\mathbb{R}$ and with multiple
exponents $ \left( 1,2,...,2\right)$, sometimes called mixed $\left(
\ell _{1},\ell _{2}\right) $-Littlewood inequality. We show that these
optimal constants are precisely $\left( \sqrt{2}\right) ^{m-1}$ and this
is somewhat surprising since a series of recent papers have shown that the
constants of the Bohnenblust--Hille inequality have a sublinear growth,
and in several cases the same growth was obtained for the constants of
the generalized Bohnenblust--Hille inequality. This result answers a
question raised by Albuquerque et al. (2013) in a paper published in
2014 in the Journal of Functional Analysis. We also improve the best
known constants of the generalized Hardy--Littlewood inequality in such a
way that an unnatural behavior of the old estimates (that will be clear
along the paper) does not happen anymore.

This is an announcement for the paper "Spaces of regular abstract
martingales" by Vladimir G. Troitsky and Foivos Xanthos.


Abstract:
   In \cite{Troitsky:05,Korostenski:08}, the authors introduced and
studied the space $\mathcal M_r$ of regular martingales on a vector
lattice and the space $M_r$ of bounded regular martingales on a Banach
lattice. In this note, we study these two spaces from the vector lattice
point of view. We show, in particular, that these spaces need not be
vector lattices. However, if the underlying space is order complete then
$\mathcal M_r$ is a vector lattice and $M_r$ is a Banach lattice under
the regular norm.

This is an announcement for the paper "Robustness properties of
dimensionality reduction with gaussian random matrices" by Bin Han and
Zhiqiang Xu.


Abstract:
   In this paper we study the robustness properties of dimensionality
reduction with Gaussian random matrices having arbitrarily erased
rows. We first study the robustness property against erasure for
the almost norm preservation property of Gaussian random matrices by
obtaining the optimal estimate of the erasure ratio for a small given
norm distortion rate. As a consequence, we establish the robustness
property of Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma and the robustness property
of restricted isometry property with corruption for Gaussian random
matrices. Secondly, we obtain a sharp estimate for the optimal lower
and upper bounds of norm distortion rates of Gaussian random matrices
under a given erasure ratio. This allows us to establish the strong
restricted isometry property with the almost optimal RIP constants,
which plays a central role in the study of phaseless compressed sensing.

This is an announcement for the paper "On complemented copies of
$c_0(\omega_1)$ in $C(K^n)$ spaces" by Leandro Candido and Piotr
Koszmider.


Abstract:
  Given a compact Hausdorff space $K$ we consider the Banach space of real
continuous functions $C(K^n)$ or equivalently the $n$-fold injective
tensor product $\hat\bigotimes_{\varepsilon}C(K)$ or the Banach
space of vector valued continuous functions $C(K, C(K, C(K ...,
C(K)...)$. We address the question of the existence of complemented
copies of $c_0(\omega_1)$ in $\hat\bigotimes_{\varepsilon}C(K)$
under the hypothesis that $C(K)$ contains an isomorphic copy of
$c_0(\omega_1)$. This is related to the results of E.  Saab and P. Saab
that $X\hat\otimes_\varepsilon Y$ contains a complemented copy of $c_0$,
if one of the infinite dimensional Banach spaces $X$ or $Y$ contains
a copy of $c_0$ and of E. M. Galego and J. Hagler that it follows from
Martin's Maximum that if $C(K)$ has density $\omega_1$ and contains a
copy of $c_0(\omega_1)$, then $C(K\times K)$ contains a complemented
copy $c_0(\omega_1)$.
  The main result is that under the assumption of $\clubsuit$ for every
$n\in N$ there is a compact Hausdorff space $K_n$ of weight $\omega_1$
such that $C(K)$ is Lindel\"of in the weak topology, $C(K_n)$ contains a
copy of $c_0(\omega_1)$, $C(K_n^n)$ does not contain a complemented copy
of $c_0(\omega_1)$ while $C(K_n^{n+1})$ does contain a complemented copy
of $c_0(\omega_1)$. This shows that additional set-theoretic assumptions
in Galego and Hagler's nonseparable version of Cembrano and Freniche's
theorem are necessary as well as clarifies in the negative direction the
matter unsettled in a paper of Dow, Junnila and Pelant whether half-pcc
Banach spaces must be weakly pcc.

This is an announcement for the paper "Convex hull deviation and
contractibility" by Grigory Ivanov.


Abstract:
  We study the Hausdorff distance between a set and its convex hull. Let
$X$ be a Banach space, define the CHD-module of space $X$ as the supremum
of this distance for all subset of the unit ball in $X$. In the case of
finite dimensional Banach spaces we obtain the exact upper bound of the
CHD-module depending on the dimension of the space. We give an upper
bound for the CHD-module in $L_p$ spaces. We prove that CHD-module
is not greater than the maximum of the Lipschitz constants of metric
projection operator onto hyperplanes. This implies that for a Hilbert
space CHD-module equals 1. We prove criterion of the Hilbert space and
study the contractibility of proximally smooth sets in uniformly convex
and uniformly smooth Banach spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "Operator Lipschitz functions on
Banach spaces" by Jan Rozendaal, Fedor Sukochev and Anna Tomskova.


Abstract:
   Let $X$, $Y$ be Banach spaces and let $\mathcal{L}(X,Y)$ be the
space of bounded linear operators from $X$ to $Y$. We develop
the theory of double operator integrals on $\mathcal{L}(X,Y)$
and apply this theory to obtain commutator estimates of the form
\begin{align*} \|f(B)S-Sf(A)\|_{\mathcal{L}(X,Y)}\leq \textrm{const}
\|BS-SA\|_{\mathcal{L}(X,Y)} \end{align*} for a large class of functions
$f$, where $A\in\mathcal{L}(X)$, $B\in \mathcal{L}(Y)$ are scalar type
operators and $S\in \mathcal{L}(X,Y)$. In particular, we establish this
estimate for $f(t):=|t|$ and for diagonalizable operators on $X=\ell_{p}$
and $Y=\ell_{q}$, for $p<q$ and $p=q=1$, and for $X=Y=\mathrm{c}_{0}$. We
also obtain results for $p\geq q$.
   We study the estimate above in the setting of Banach ideals in
$\mathcal{L}(X,Y)$. The commutator estimates we derive hold for
diagonalizable matrices with a constant independent of the size of
the matrix.

This is an announcement for the paper "On automorphisms of the
Banach space $\ell_\infty/c_0$" by Piotr Koszmider and Cristobal
Rodriguez-Porras.


Abstract:
   We investigate Banach space automorphisms
$T:\ell_\infty/c_0\rightarrow\ell_\infty/c_0 $ focusing on
the possibility of representing their fragments of the form
$$T_{B,A}:\ell_\infty(A)/c_0(A)\rightarrow \ell_\infty(B)/c_0(B)$$ for $A,
B\subseteq N$ infinite by means of linear operators from $\ell_\infty(A)$
into $\ell_\infty(B)$, infinite $A\times B$-matrices, continuous maps from
$B^*=\beta B\setminus B$ into $A^*$, or bijections from $B$ to $A$. This
leads to the analysis of general linear operators on $\ell_\infty/c_0$. We
present many examples, introduce and investigate several classes of
operators, for some of them we obtain satisfactory representations and
for other give examples showing that it is impossible. In particular,
we show that there are automorphisms of $\ell_\infty/c_0$ which cannot
be lifted to operators on $\ell_\infty$ and assuming OCA+MA we show that
every automorphism of $\ell_\infty/c_0$ with no fountains or with no
funnels is locally, i.e., for some infinite $A, B\subseteq N$ as above,
induced by a bijection from $B$ to $A$. This additional set-theoretic
assumption is necessary as we show that the continuum hypothesis implies
the existence of counterexamples of diverse flavours. However, many
basic problems, some of which are listed in the last section, remain open.

This is an announcement for the paper "Model-theoretic aspects of the
Gurarij operator space" by Isaac Goldbring and Martino Lupini.


Abstract:
  We show that the theory of the Gurarij operator space is the
model-completion of the theory of operator spaces, it has a unique
separable $1$-exact model, continuum many separable models, and no
prime model. We also establish the corresponding facts for the Gurarij
operator system. The proofs involve establishing that the theories
of the Fra\"iss\'{e} limits of the classes of finite-dimensional
$M_q$-spaces and $M_q$-systems are separably categorical and have
quantifier-elimination. We conclude the paper by showing that no
existentially closed operator system can be completely order isomorphic
to a C$^*$ algebra.

This is an announcement for the paper "Pythagorean powers of hypercubes"
by Assaf Naor and Gideon Schechtman.


Abstract:
  For $n\in \mathbb{N}$ consider the $n$-dimensional hypercube as equal
to the vector space $\mathbb{F}_2^n$, where $\mathbb{F}_2$ is
the field of size two.  Endow $\mathbb{F}_2^n$ with the Hamming
metric, i.e., with the metric induced by the $\ell_1^n$ norm
when one identifies $\mathbb{F}_2^n$ with $\{0,1\}^n\subseteq
\mathbb{R}^n$. Denote by $\ell_2^n(\mathbb{F}_2^n)$ the $n$-fold
Pythagorean product of $\mathbb{F}_2^n$, i.e., the space of
all $x=(x_1,\ldots,x_n)\in \prod_{j=1}^n \mathbb{F}_2^n$,
equipped with the metric $$ \forall\, x,y\in \prod_{j=1}^n
\mathbb{F}_2^n,\qquad d_{\ell_2^n(\mathbb{F}_2^n)}(x,y)= \sqrt{
\|x_1-y_1\|_1^2+\ldots+\|x_n-y_n\|_1^2}. $$ It is shown here that the
bi-Lipschitz distortion of any embedding of $\ell_2^n(\mathbb{F}_2^n)$
into $L_1$ is at least a constant multiple of $\sqrt{n}$. This is
achieved through the following new bi-Lipschitz invariant, which
is a metric version of (a slight variant of) a linear inequality
of Kwapie{\'n} and Sch\"utt (1989).  Letting $\{e_{jk}\}_{j,k\in
\{1,\ldots,n\}}$ denote the standard basis of the space of all
$n$ by $n$ matrices $M_n(\mathbb{F}_2)$, say that a metric space
$(X,d_X)$ is a KS space if there exists $C=C(X)>0$ such that for
every $n\in 2\mathbb{N}$, every mapping $f:M_n(\mathbb{F}_2)\to
X$ satisfies \begin{equation*}\label{eq:metric KS abstract}
\frac{1}{n}\sum_{j=1}^n\mathbb{E}\left[d_X\Big(f\Big(x+\sum_{k=1}^ne_{jk}\Big),f(x)\Big)\right]\le
C
\mathbb{E}\left[d_X\Big(f\Big(x+\sum_{j=1}^ne_{jk_j}\Big),f(x)\Big)\right],
\end{equation*} where the expectations above are with respect to
$x\in M_n(\mathbb{F}_2)$ and $k=(k_1,\ldots,k_n)\in \{1,\ldots,n\}^n$
chosen uniformly at random. It is shown here that $L_1$ is a KS space
(with $C= 2e^2/(e^2-1)$, which is best possible), implying the above
nonembeddability statement. Links to the Ribe program are discussed,
as well as related open problems.

This is an announcement for the paper "Intersection Theorems for Closed
Convex Sets and Applications" by Hichem Ben-El-Mechaiekh.


Abstract:
  A number of landmark existence theorems of nonlinear functional analysis
follow in a simple and direct way from the basic separation of
convex closed sets in finite dimension via elementary versions of the
Knaster-Kuratowski-Mazurkiewicz principle - which we extend to arbitrary
topological vector spaces - and a coincidence property for so-called
von Neumann relations. The method avoids the use of deeper results
of topological essence such as the Brouwer fixed point theorem or the
Sperner's lemma and underlines the crucial role played by convexity. It
turns out that the convex KKM principle is equivalent to the Hahn-Banach
theorem, the Markov-Kakutani fixed point theorem, and the Sion-von
Neumann minimax principle.

by Ryan Causey.


Abstract:
   We discuss pruning and coloring lemmas on regular families. We discuss
several applications of these lemmas to computing the Szlenk index
of certain $w^*$ compact subsets of the dual of a separable Banach
space. Applications include estimates of the Szlenk index of Minkowski
sums, infinite direct sums of separable Banach spaces, constant reduction,
and three space properties.
   We also consider using regular families to construct Banach spaces with
prescribed Szlenk index. As a consequence, we give a characterization
of which countable ordinals occur as the Szlenk index of a Banach space,
prove the optimality of a previous universality result, and compute the
Szlenk index of the injective tensor product of separable Banach spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "The Metric Approximation Property

Abstract:
  We prove that for certain subsets $M \subseteq \mathbb{R}^N$,
$N \geqslant 1$, the Lipschitz-free space $\mathcal{F}(M)$ has the
metric approximation property (MAP), with respect to any norm on
$\mathbb{R}^N$. In particular, $\mathcal{F}(M)$ has the MAP whenever $M$
is a finite-dimensional compact convex set. This should be compared with
a recent result of Godefroy and Ozawa, who showed that there exists
a compact convex subset $M$ of a separable Banach space, for which
$\mathcal{F}(M)$ fails the approximation property.

Abstract:
  We give two characterizations of cones over ellipsoids in real normed

such that $C$ has a bounded section of codimension $1$. We show that
$C$ is a cone over an ellipsoid if and only if every bounded section
of $C$ has a center of symmetry.  We also show that $C$ is a cone
over an ellipsoid if and only if the affine span of $\partial C \cap
\partial(a - C)$ has codimension $1$ for every point $a$ in the interior
of $C$. These results generalize the finite-dimensional cases proved in
(Jer\'onimo-Castro and McAllister, 2013).

This is an announcement for the paper "Concentration analysis in Banach
spaces" by Sergio Solimini and Cyril Tintarev.


Abstract:
  The concept of a profile decomposition formalizes concentration
compactness arguments on the functional-analytic level, providing
a powerful refinement of the Banach-Alaoglu weak-star compactness
theorem. We prove existence of profile decompositions for general
bounded sequences in uniformly convex Banach spaces equipped with
a group of bijective isometries, thus generalizing analogous results
previously obtained for Sobolev spaces and for Hilbert spaces.  Profile
decompositions in uniformly convex Banach spaces are based on the notion
of $\Delta$-convergence by T. C. Lim instead of weak convergence, and
the two modes coincide if and only if the norm satisfies the well-known
Opial condition, in particular, in Hilbert spaces and $\ell^{p}$-spaces,
but not in $L^{p}(\mathbb R^{N})$, $p\neq2$. $\Delta$-convergence
appears naturally in the context of fixed point theory for non-expansive
maps. The paper also studies connection of $\Delta$-convergence with
Brezis-Lieb Lemma and gives a version of the latter without an assumption
of convergence a.e.

multilinear theories are pointed out, typical multilinear features of the
theory are emphasized and many illustrative examples are provided. The
classes we introduce are related to the multi-ideals generated by the
linear ideals of operators of some type/cotype and are proved to be
maximal and Aron-Berner stable.

This is an announcement for the paper "Some alternative definitions
for the ''plus-minus'' interpolation spaces $\left\langle

Abstract:
   The Peetre "plus-minus" interpolation spaces $\left\langle
A_{0},A_{1}\right\rangle _{\theta}$ are defined variously via conditions
about the unconditional convergence of certain Banach space valued series
whose terms have coefficients which are powers of 2 or, alternatively,
powers of e. It may seem intuitively obvious that using powers of 2,
or of e, or powers of some other constant number greater than 1 in
such definitions should produce the same space to within equivalence
of norms. To allay any doubts, we here offer an explicit proof of this
fact, via a "continuous" definition of the same spaces where integrals
replace the above mentioned series. This apparently new definition,
which is also in some sense a "limiting case" of the above mentioned
"discrete" definitions, may be relevant in the study of the connection
between the Peetre "plus-minus" interpolation spaces and Calderon complex
interpolation spaces when both the spaces of the underlying couple are are
Banach lattices on the same measure space. Related results can probably
be obtained for the Gustavsson-Peetre variant of the "plus-minus" spaces.

Abstract:
  A classical result by J. Diestel establishes that the composition of a

function gives a Bochner integrable function. In this paper we show
that a much more general result is possible regarding the improvement of
the integrability of vector valued functions by the summability of the
operator. After proving a general result, we center our attention in the
particular case given by the $(p,\sigma)$-absolutely continuous operators,
that allows to prove a lot of special results on integration improvement
for selected cases of classical Banach spaces ---including $C(K)$, $L^p$
and Hilbert spaces--- and operators ---$p$-summing, $(q,p)$-summing and
$p$-approximable operators---.

Abstract:
  Let $\lambda$ be an infinite cardinal number and let
$\ell_\infty^c(\lambda)$ denote the subspace of $\ell_\infty(\lambda)$
consisting of all functions which assume at most countably many non zero
values. We classify all infinite dimensional complemented subspaces
of $\ell_\infty^c(\lambda)$, proving that they are isomorphic to
$\ell_\infty^c(\kappa)$ for some cardinal number $\kappa$. Then
we show that the Banach algebra of all bounded linear operators
on $\ell_\infty^c(\lambda)$ or $\ell_\infty(\lambda)$ has the unique
maximal ideal consisting of operators through which the identity operator
does not factor. Using similar techniques, we obtain an alternative
to Daws' approach description of the lattice of all closed ideals of
$\mathscr{B}(X)$, where $X = c_0(\lambda)$ or $X=\ell_p(\lambda)$
for some $p\in [1,\infty)$, and we classify the closed ideals of
$\mathscr{B}(\ell_\infty^c(\lambda))$ that contain the ideal of weakly
compact operators.

This is an announcement for the paper "Separable elastic Banach spaces
are universal" by Dale E. Alspach and Bunyamin Sari.


Abstract:
  A Banach space $X$ is elastic if there is a constant $K$ so that
whenever a Banach space $Y$ embeds into $X$, then there is an embedding
of $Y$ into $X$ with constant $K$. We prove that $C[0,1]$ embeds into
separable infinite dimensional elastic Banach spaces, and therefore they
are universal for all separable Banach spaces. This confirms a conjecture
of Johnson and Odell. The proof uses incremental embeddings into $X$
of $C(K)$ spaces for countable compact $K$ of increasing complexity. To
achieve this we develop a generalization of Bourgain's basis index that
applies to unconditional sums of Banach spaces and prove a strengthening
of the weak injectivity property of these $C(K)$ that is realized on
special reproducible bases.

This is an announcement for the paper "k-Extreme Points in Symmetric
Spaces of Measurable Operators" by Malgorzata M. Czerwinska and Anna
Kaminska.


Abstract:
   Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a semifinite von Neumann algebra with a faithful,
normal, semifinite trace $\tau$ and $E$ be a strongly symmetric
Banach function space on $[0,\tau(1))$. We show that an operator
$x$ in the unit sphere of $E\left(\mathcal{M},\tau\right)$ is
$k$-extreme, $k\in\mathbb N$, whenever its singular value function
$\mu(x)$ is $k$-extreme and one of the following conditions hold (i)
$\mu(\infty,x)=\lim_{t\to\infty}\mu(t,x)=0$ or (ii) $n(x)\mathcal{M}
n(x^*)=0$ and $|x|\geq \mu(\infty,x)s(x)$, where $n(x)$ and $s(x)$
are null and support projections of $x$, respectively. The converse is
true whenever $\mathcal{M}$ is non-atomic. The global $k$-rotundity
property follows, that is if $\mathcal{M}$ is non-atomic then $E$
is $k$-rotund if and only if $E\left(\mathcal{M},\tau\right)$ is
$k$-rotund. As a consequence of the noncommutive results we obtain that
$f$ is a $k$-extreme point of the unit ball of the strongly symmetric
function space $E$ if and only if its decreasing rearrangement $\mu(f)$
is $k$-extreme and $|f|\geq \mu(\infty,f)$. We conclude with the corollary
on orbits $\Omega(g)$ and $\Omega'(g)$. We get that $f$ is a $k$-extreme
point of the orbit $\Omega(g)$, $g\in L_1+L_{\infty}$, or $\Omega'(g)$,
$g\in L_1[0,\alpha)$, $\alpha<\infty$, if and only if $\mu(f)=\mu(g)$
and $|f|\geq \mu(\infty,f)$. From this we obtain a characterization of
$k$-extreme points in Marcinkiewicz spaces.

Abstract:
  We construct a class of minimal trees and use these trees to establish a

establishing sharp positive and negative results for constant reduction,
and estimating the Bourgain $\ell_p$ index of an arbitrary Banach space
$X$ in terms of a subspace $Y$ and the quotient $X/Y$.

sums of Banach spaces" by Jan-David Hardtke.


Abstract:
   A Banach space $X$ is said to have the ball generated property (BGP)
if every closed, bounded, convex subset of $X$ can be written as an
intersection of finite unions of closed balls. In 2002 S. Basu proved
that the BGP is stable under (infinite) $c_0$- and $\ell^p$-sums for
$1<p<\infty$. We will show here that for any absolute, normalised norm
$\|\cdot\|_E$ on $\mathbb{R}^2$ satisfying a certain smoothness condition
the direct sum $X\oplus_E Y$ of two Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$ with
respect to $\|\cdot\|_E$ enjoys the BGP whenever $X$ and $Y$ have the BGP.

This is an announcement for the paper "Proper subspaces and compatibility"
by Esteban Andruchow, Eduardo Chiumiento and Maria Eugenia Di Iorio
y Lucero.


Abstract:
  Let $\mathcal{E}$ be a Banach space contained in a Hilbert space
$\mathcal{L}$. Assume that the inclusion is continuous with dense range.
Following the terminology of Gohberg and Zambicki\v{\i}, we say that
a bounded operator on $\mathcal{E}$ is a proper operator if it admits
an adjoint with respect to the inner product of $\mathcal{L}$. By a
proper subspace $\mathcal{S}$ we mean a closed subspace of $\mathcal{E}$
which is the range of a proper projection. If there exists a proper
projection which is also self-adjoint with respect to the inner product
of $\mathcal{L}$, then $\mathcal{S}$ belongs to a well-known class of
subspaces called compatible subspaces. We find equivalent conditions
to describe proper subspaces. Then we prove a necessary and sufficient
condition to ensure that a proper subspace is compatible. Each proper
subspace $\mathcal{S}$ has a supplement $\mathcal{T}$ which is also
a proper subspace. We give a characterization of the compatibility
of both subspaces $\mathcal{S}$ and $\mathcal{T}$. Several examples
are provided that illustrate different situations between proper and
compatible subspaces.

many variables and on $\ell_{1}$-multipliers of vector-valued Dirichlet
series. Finally we introduce cotype with respect to indexing sets,

This is an announcement for the paper "Smoothness of bounded linear
operators" by Kallol Paul, Debmalya Sain and Puja Ghosh.


Abstract:
  We prove that for a bounded linear operator $T$ on a Hilbert space
$\mathbb{H},$ $T \bot_B A \Leftrightarrow \langle Tx, Ax \rangle = 0 $
for some $x \in S_{\mathbb{H}}, \|Tx\| = \|T\| $ iff the norm attaining
set $M_T = \{ x \in S_{\mathbb{H}} : \|Tx\| = \|T\|\} $ is a unit sphere
of some finite dimensional subspace $H_0$ of $\mathbb{H}$ i.e., $M_T =
S_{H_0} $ and $\|T\|_{{H_0}^{\bot}} < \|T\|.$ We also prove that if $T$
is a bounded linear operator on a Banach space $\mathbb{X}$ with the norm
attaining set $M_T = D \cup(-D)$ ( $D$ is a non-empty compact connected
subset of $S_{\mathbb{X}}$) and $\sup_{y \in C} \|Ty\| < \|T\|$ for
all closed subsets $C$ of $S_{\mathbb{X}}$ with $d(M_T,C) > 0,$ then $T
\bot_B A \Leftrightarrow Tx \bot_B Ax $ for some $x \in M_T.$ Using these
results we characterize smoothness of compact operators on normed linear
spaces and smoothness of bounded linear operators on Hilbert as well
as Banach spaces. This is for the first time that a characterization
of smoothness of bounded linear operators on a normed linear space
has been obtained. We prove that $T \in B(\mathbb{X}, \mathbb{Y})$
(where $\mathbb{X}$ is a real Banach space and $\mathbb{Y}$ is a real
normed linear space) is smooth iff $T$ attains its norm at unique
(upto muliplication by scalar) vector $ x \in S_{\mathbb{X}},$ $Tx$
is a smooth point of $\mathbb{Y} $ and $\sup_{y \in C} \|Ty\| < \|T\|$
for all closed subsets $C$ of $S_{\mathbb{X}}$ with $d(\pm x,C) > 0.$

This is an announcement for the paper "Equipped graded graphs, projective
limits of simplices, and their boundaries" by A.Vershik.


Abstract:
   In this paper, we develop a theory of equipped graded graphs (or
Bratteli diagrams) and an alternative theory of projective limits of
finite-dimensional simplices. An equipment is an additional structure on
the graph, namely, a system of ``cotransition'' probabilities on the set
of its paths. The main problem is to describe all probability measures
on the path space of a graph with given cotransition probabilities;
it goes back to the problem, posed by E.~B.~Dynkin in the 1960s, of
describing exit and entrance boundaries for Markov chains. The most
important example is the problem of describing all central measures, to
which one can reduce the problems of describing states on AF-algebras
or characters on locally finite groups. We suggest an unification of
the whole theory, an interpretation of the notions of Martin, Choquet,
and Dynkin boundaries in terms of equipped graded graphs and in terms
of the theory of projective limits of simplices. In the last section,
we study the new notion of ``standardness'' of projective limits of
simplices and of equipped Bratteli diagrams, as well as the notion of
``lacunarization.''

Abstract:
   The proof that the James space is not locally unconditional appears

This is an announcement for the paper "Norm-attaining functionals and
proximinal subspaces" by Martin Rmoutil.


Abstract:
   G. Godefroy asked whether, on any Banach space, the set of
norm-attaining functionals contains a 2-dimensional linear subspace. We
prove that a recent construction due to C.J. Read provides an example of
a space which does not have this property. This is done through a study
of the relation between the following two sentences where X is a Banach
space and Y is a closed subspace of finite codimension in X: (A) Y is
proximinal in X. (B) The annihilator of Y consists of norm-attaining
functionals. We prove that these are equivalent if X is the Read's
space. Moreover, we prove that any non-reflexive Banach space X with
any given closed subspace Y of finite codimension at least 2 admits an
equivalent norm such that (B) is true and (A) is false.

This is an announcement for the paper "Uncountable equilateral sets in
Banach spaces of the form $C(K)$" by Piotr Koszmider.


Abstract:
   The paper is concerned with the problem whether a nonseparable
Banach space must contain an uncountable set of vectors such that the
distances between every two distinct vectors of the set are the same. Such
sets are called equilateral. We show that Martin's axiom and the negation
of the continuum hypothesis imply that every nonseparable Banach space
of the form $C(K)$ has an uncountable equilateral set. We also show
that one cannot obtain such a result without an additional set-theoretic
assumption since we construct an example of nonseparable Banach space of
the form $C(K)$ which has no uncountable equilateral set (or equivalently
no uncountable $(1+\varepsilon)$-separated set in the unit sphere for
any $\varepsilon>0$) making another consistent combinatorial assumption.
   The compact $K$ is a version of the split interval obtained from
a sequence of functions which behave in an anti-Ramsey manner. It remains
open if there is an absolute example of a nonseparable Banach space
of the form different than $C(K)$ which has no uncountable equilateral
set. It follows from the results of S. Mercourakis, G. Vassiliadis that
our example has an equivalent renorming in which it has an uncountable
equilateral set. It remains open if there are consistent examples which
have no uncountable equilateral sets in any equivalent renorming. It
follows from the results of S. Todorcevic that it is consistent that
every nonseparable Banach space has an equivalent renorming in in which
it has an uncountable equilateral set.

This is an announcement for the paper "Equivalence after extension
for compact operators on Banach spaces" by Sanne ter Horst, Miek
Messerschmidt, and Andre C.M. Ran.


Abstract:
  In recent years the coincidence of the operator relations equivalence
after extension and Schur coupling was settled for the Hilbert space
case, by showing that equivalence after extension implies equivalence
after one-sided extension.  In this paper we investigate consequences of
equivalence after extension for compact Banach space operators. We show
that generating the same operator ideal is necessary but not sufficient
for two compact operators to be equivalent after extension. In analogy
with the necessary and sufficient conditions on the singular values for
compact Hilbert space operators that are equivalent after extension, we
prove the necessity of similar relationships between the $s$-numbers of
two compact Banach space operators that are equivalent after extension,
for arbitrary $s$-functions.
  We investigate equivalence after extension for operators on
$\ell^{p}$-spaces. We show that two operators that act on different
$\ell^{p}$-spaces cannot be equivalent after one-sided extension. Such
operators can still be equivalent after extension, for instance all
invertible operators are equivalent after extension, however, if one
of the two operators is compact, then they cannot be equivalent after
extension. This contrasts the Hilbert space case where equivalence
after one-sided extension and equivalence after extension are, in fact,
identical relations.
  Finally, for general Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$, we investigate
consequences of an operator on $X$ being equivalent after extension to
a compact operator on $Y$. We show that, in this case, a closed finite
codimensional subspace of $Y$ must embed into $X$, and that certain
general Banach space properties must transfer from $X$ to $Y$. We also
show that no operator on $X$ can be equivalent after extension to an
operator on $Y$, if $X$ and $Y$ are essentially incomparable Banach
spaces.

Abstract:
  Let $X$ be a Banach space. We study the circumstances under which there
exists an uncountable set $\mathcal A\subset X$ of unit vectors such
that $\|x-y\|>1$ for distinct $x,y\in \mathcal A$. We prove that
such a set exists if $X$ is quasi-reflexive and non-separable; if $X$
is additionally super-reflexive then one can have $\|x-y\|\geqslant
1+\varepsilon$ for some $\varepsilon>0$ that depends only on $X$. If
$K$ is a compact, Hausdorff space, then $X=C(K)$ contains such a set of
cardinality equal to the density of $X$; this solves a problem left open
by S. K. Mercourakis and G. Vassiliadis.

property for nonexpansive mappings in $\ell_1$ space. This result allows
us to obtain a characterization of all separable Lindenstrauss spaces $X$
inducing the failure of $w^*$-fixed point property in $X^*$.

Abstract:
  A distortion lower bound of $\Omega(\log(h)^{1/p})$ is proven for
embedding the complete countably branching hyperbolic tree of height $h$
into a Banach space admitting an equivalent norm satisfying property
$(\beta)$ of Rolewicz with modulus of power type $p\in(1,\infty)$
(in short property ($\beta_p$)).  Also it is shown that a distortion
lower bound of $\Omega(\ell^{1/p})$ is incurred when embedding the
parasol graph with $\ell$ levels into a Banach space with an equivalent
norm with property ($\beta_p$). The tightness of the lower bound for
trees is shown adjusting a construction of Matou\v{s}ek to the case of
infinite trees. It is also explained how our work unifies and extends
a series of results about the stability under nonlinear quotients of
the asymptotic structure of infinite-dimensional Banach spaces. Finally
two other applications regarding metric characterizations of asymptotic
properties of Banach spaces, and the finite determinacy of bi-Lipschitz
embeddability problems are discussed.

This is an announcement for the paper "The Ascoli property for function
spaces and the weak topology of Banach    and Fr\'echet spaces" by
S. Gabriyelyan, J. Kakol, and G. Plebanek.


Abstract:
   Following [3] we say that a Tychonoff space $X$ is an Ascoli space
if every compact subset $\mathcal{K}$ of $C_k(X)$ is evenly continuous;
this notion is closely related to the classical Ascoli theorem. Every
$k_\mathbb{R}$-space, hence any $k$-space, is Ascoli.
   Let $X$ be a metrizable space. We prove that the space $C_{k}(X)$
is Ascoli iff $C_{k}(X)$ is a $k_\mathbb{R}$-space iff $X$ is locally
compact. Moreover, $C_{k}(X)$ endowed with the weak topology is Ascoli
iff $X$ is countable and discrete.
   Using some basic concepts from probability theory and measure-theoretic
properties of $\ell_1$, we show that the following assertions are
equivalent for a Banach space $E$: (i) $E$ does not contain isomorphic
copy of $\ell_1$, (ii) every real-valued sequentially continuous map
on the unit ball $B_{w}$ with the weak topology is continuous, (iii)
$B_{w}$ is a $k_\mathbb{R}$-space, (iv) $B_{w}$ is an Ascoli space.
   We prove also that a Fr\'{e}chet lcs $F$ does not contain isomorphic
copy of $\ell_1$ iff each closed and convex bounded subset of $F$
is Ascoli in the weak topology. However we show that a Banach space
$E$ in the weak topology is Ascoli iff $E$ is finite-dimensional. We
supplement the last result by showing that a Fr\'{e}chet lcs $F$ which
is a quojection is Ascoli in the weak topology iff either $F$ is finite
dimensional or $F$ is isomorphic to the product $\mathbb{K}^{\mathbb{N}}$,
where $\mathbb{K}\in\{\mathbb{R},\mathbb{C}\}$.

of proportional size, (2) must satisfy the Rademacher-Sidon property,
and (3) must have its 5-fold tensor satisfy the Sidon property. On the
other hand, we construct a uniformly bounded orthonormal system that
satisfies the $\psi_2$ condition but which is not Sidon. These problems
are variants of Kaczmarz's Scottish book problem (problem 130) which, in
its original formulation, was answered negatively by Rudin. A corollary
of our argument is a new, elementary proof of Pisier's theorem that a
set of characters satisfying the $\psi_2$ condition is Sidon.

monotone Schauder basis, then there exists a separable reflexive Banach

This is an announcement for the paper "Szlenk indices of convex hulls"
by Gilles Lancien, Antonin Prochazka, and Matias Raja.


Abstract:
  We study the general measures of non compactness defined on subsets of a
dual Banach space, their associated derivations and their
$\omega$-iterates. We introduce the notion of convexifiable measure
of non compactness and investigate the properties of its associated
fragment and slice derivations. We apply our results to the Kuratowski
measure of non compactness and to the study of the Szlenk index of a
Banach space. As a consequence, we obtain, for any countable ordinal
$\alpha$, a characterization of the Banach spaces with Szlenk index
bounded by $\omega^{\alpha+1}$ in terms of the existence an equivalent
renorming. This extends a result by Knaust, Odell and Schlumprecht on
Banach spaces with Szlenk index equal to $\omega$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Differentiability of Distance
Function and The Proximinal Condition implying Convexity" by Triloki Nath.


Abstract:
   A necessary and sufficient condition for the differentiability of the
distance function generated by an almost proximinal closed set has
been given for normed linear spaces with locally uniformly convex and
differentiable norm.  We prove that the proximinal condition of Giles
[6] is true for almost sun. In such spaces if the proximinal condition
is satisfied and the distance function is uniformly differentiable on
a dense set then it turn in the differentiability on all off the set
(generating the distance function). The proximinal condition ensures
about the convexity of almost sun in some spaces under a differentiability
condition of the distance function. A necessary and sufficient condition
is derived for the convexity of Chebyshev sets in Banach spaces with
rotund dual.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the relationship between order
bounded operators, topologically bounded operators and topologically
continuous operators" by Liang Hong.


Abstract:
  The relationship between order bounded operators and order continuous
operators has been investigated by several authors. The purpose of
this paper is to study the relationship between order bounded operators,
topologically bounded operators and topologically continuous operators. We
give conditions for (i) the space of topologically continuous operators
to be an ideal of the space of order bounded operators; this result
generalizes the Nakano-Roberts Theorem; (ii) the space of topologically
continuous operators to be a band of the space of order bounded operators;
(iii) the space of order bounded operators to coincide with the space of
topologically bounded operators; (iv) the space of order bounded operators
to coincide with the space of topologically continuous operators. In
addition, a set of counterexamples are given for illustration purpose;
these counterexamples are interesting in their own rights and contribute
to the literature.

Abstract:
  We survey recent results about composition operators induced by analytic
self-maps of the unit disk in the complex plane on various Banach
spaces of analytic functions taking values in infinite-dimensional
Banach spaces. We mostly concentrate on the research line into
qualitative properties such as weak compactness, initiated by Liu,
Saksman and Tylli (1998), and continued in several other papers. We
discuss composition operators on strong, respectively weak, spaces of
vector-valued analytic functions, as well as between weak and strong
spaces. As concrete examples, we review more carefully and present some
new observations in the cases of vector-valued Hardy and BMOA spaces,
though the study of composition operators has been extended to a wide
range of spaces of vector-valued analytic functions, including spaces
defined on other domains.  Several open problems are stated.

This is an announcement for the paper "An isometrically universal Banach
space induced by a non-universal Boolean algebra" by Christina Brech
and Piotr Koszmider.


Abstract:
  Given a Boolean algebra $A$, we construct another Boolean algebra $B$
with no uncountable well-ordered chains such that the Banach space of
real valued continuous functions $C(K_A)$ embeds isometrically into
$C(K_B)$, where $K_A$ and $K_B$ are the Stone spaces of $A$ and $B$
respectively. As a consequence we obtain the following: If there exists
an isometrically universal Banach space for the class of Banach spaces
of a given uncountable density $\kappa$, then there is another such space
which is induced by a Boolean algebra which is not universal for Boolean
algebras of cardinality $\kappa$. Such a phenomenon cannot happen on the
level of separable Banach spaces and countable Boolean algebras. This
is related to the open question if the existence of an isometrically
universal Banach space and of a universal Boolean algebra are equivalent
on the nonseparable level (both are true on the separable level).

the Koml\'os property (which can be considered an abstract version of
the weak law of large numbers). The results rely on two previous papers
from which we infer the fact that, like in the classical case of $L^1$,
a subspace of a JBW$^*$-triple predual contains $\ell_1$ as soon as it
contains uniform copies of $\ell_1^n$.

Abstract:
  The volume of the unit ball of the Lebesgue sequence space $\ell_p^m$

cases are nowadays popular in machine learning under the name of group
lasso. We consider the real as well as the complex case. The result is
given by a closed formula involving the gamma function, only slightly
more complicated than the one of Dirichlet.  We close by an overview of
open problems.

properties of $\mathcal A$-compact operators to $\mathcal A$-compact
polynomials. In order to study $\mathcal A$-compact holomorphic functions,
we appeal to the $\mathcal A$-compact radius of convergence which
allows us to characterize the functions in this class. Under certain
hypothesis on the ideal $\mathcal A$, we give examples showing that our
characterization is sharp.

This is an announcement for the paper "Probability inequalities and tail
estimates on metric semigroups" by Apoorva Khare and Bala Rajaratnam.


Abstract:
   The goal of this work is to study probability inequalities leading
to tail estimates in a general metric semigroup $\mathscr{G}$ with a
translation-invariant metric $d_{\mathscr{G}}$. We begin by proving
inequalities including those by Ottaviani-Skorohod, L\'evy, Mogul'skii,
and Khinchin-Kahane in arbitrary semigroups $\mathscr{G}$. We then
show a variant of Hoffmann-J{\o}rgensen's inequality, which unifies
and significantly strengthens several versions in the Banach space
literature, including those by Johnson and Schechtman [Ann. Prob. 17],
Klass and Nowicki [Ann. Prob. 28], and Hitczenko and Montgomery-Smith
[Ann. Prob. 29]. Moreover, our version of the inequality holds more
generally, in the minimal mathematical framework of a metric semigroup
$\mathscr{G}$. This inequality has important consequences (as in the
Banach space literature) in obtaining tail estimates and approximate
bounds for sums of independent semigroup-valued random variables, their
moments, and decreasing rearrangements. In particular, we obtain the
"correct" universal constants in several cases, including in all normed
linear spaces as well as in all compact, discrete, or abelian Lie groups.

newly introduced functional affine invariants, and establish related

Abstract:
  This article closes the cycle of characterizations of greedy-like
bases in the isometric case initiated in [F. Albiac and P. Wojtaszczyk,
Characterization of $1$-greedy bases, J. Approx. Theory 138 (2006)]
with the characterization of $1$-greedy bases and continued in
[F. Albiac and J. L. Ansorena, Characterization of $1$-quasi-greedy
bases, arXiv:1504.04368v1 [math.FA] (2015)] with the characterization
of $1$-quasi-greedy bases. Here we settle the problem of providing a
characterization of $1$-almost greedy bases in (real or complex) Banach
spaces. We show that a (semi-normalized) basis in a Banach space is
almost-greedy with almost greedy constant equal to $1$ if and only if
it is quasi-greedy with suppression quasi-greedy constant equal to $1$

This is an announcement for the paper "Improved $L_p-$mixed volume
inequality for convex bodies" by Van Hoang Nguyen.


Abstract:
   A sharp quantitative version of the $L_p-$mixed volume inequality is
established. This is achieved by exploiting an improved
Jensen inequality. This inequality is a generalization of
Pinsker-Csisz\'ar-Kullback inequality for the Tsallis entropy. Finally,
a sharp quantitative version of the $L_p-$Brunn-Minkowski inequality is
also proved as a corollary.

This is an announcement for the paper "On Lipschitz extension from finite
subsets" by Assaf Naor and Yuval Rabani.


Abstract:
   We prove that for every $n\in \mathbb{N}$ there exists a metric space
$(X,d_X)$, an $n$-point subset $S\subseteq X$, a Banach space
$(Z,\|\cdot\|_Z)$ and a $1$-Lipschitz function $f:S\to Z$ such that
the Lipschitz constant of every function $F:X\to Z$ that extends $f$
is at least a constant multiple of $\sqrt{\log n}$. This improves
a bound of Johnson and Lindenstrauss. We also obtain the following
quantitative counterpart to a classical extension theorem of Minty. For
every $\alpha\in (1/2,1]$ and $n\in \mathbb{N}$ there exists a
metric space $(X,d_X)$, an $n$-point subset $S\subseteq X$ and a
function $f:S\to \ell_2$ that is $\alpha$-H\"older with constant
$1$, yet the $\alpha$-H\"older constant of any $F:X\to \ell_2$
that extends $f$ satisfies $$ \|F\|_{\mathrm{Lip}(\alpha)}\gtrsim
(\log n)^{\frac{2\alpha-1}{4\alpha}}+\left(\frac{\log n}{\log\log
n}\right)^{\alpha^2-\frac12}. $$ We formulate a conjecture whose positive
solution would strengthen Ball's nonlinear Maurey extension theorem,
serving as a far-reaching nonlinear version of a theorem of K\"onig,
Retherford and Tomczak-Jaegermann. We explain how this conjecture would
imply as special cases answers to longstanding open questions of Johnson
and Lindenstrauss and Kalton.

Abstract:
  We present an equivalent midpoint locally uniformly rotund (MLUR)
renorming $X$ of $C[0,1]$ on which every weakly compact projection $P$
satisfies the equation $\|I-P\| = 1+\|P\|$ ($I$ is the identity operator
on $X$). As a consequence we obtain an MLUR space $X$ with the properties
D2P, that every non-empty relatively weakly open subset of its unit ball
$B_X$ has diameter 2, and the LD2P+, that for every slice of $B_X$ and
every norm 1 element $x$ inside the slice there is another element $y$
inside the slice of distance as close to 2 from $x$ as desired. An example
of an MLUR space with the D2P, the LD2P+, and with convex combinations
of slices of arbitrary small diameter is also given.

invariants in taking products of spaces. Various related cardinal
equalities and inequalities are given. As an application we take a
look at Banach spaces with the property (CSP) which can be formulated
by stating that each weak-star dense linear subspace of the dual is
weak-star separable.

of linear and multilinear summing operators" by E. Dahia, D. Achour,
P. Rueda and E. A. Sanchez Perez.


Abstract:
   It is well known that not every summability property for non linear
operators leads to a factorization theorem. In this paper we undertake a
detailed study of factorization schemes for summing linear and nonlinear
operators. Our aim is to integrate under the same theory a wide family
of classes of mappings for which a Pietsch type factorization theorem
holds. We analyze the class of linear operators that are defined by a
summability inequality involving a homogeneous map. Our construction
includes the cases of absolutely $p$-summing linear operators,
$(p,\sigma)$-absolutely continuous linear operators, factorable
strongly $p$-summing multilinear operators, $(p_1,\ldots,p_n)$-dominated
multilinear operators and dominated $(p_1,\ldots, p_n;\sigma)$-continuous
multilinear operators.

This is an announcement for the paper "Rademacher functions in Morrey
spaces" by Sergei V. Astashkin and Lech Maligranda.


Abstract:
  The Rademacher functions are investigated in the Morrey spaces M(p,w) on
[0,1] for 1 \le p <\infty and weight w being a quasi-concave
function. They span l_2 space in M(p,w) if and only if the weight w is
smaller than the function log_2^{-1/2}(2/t) on (0,1). Moreover, if 1 <
p < \infty the Rademacher sunspace R_p is complemented in M(p,w) if and
only if it is isomorphic to l_2.  However, the Rademacher subspace is
not complemented in M(1,w) for any quasi-concave weight w. In the last
part of the paper geometric structure of Rademacher subspaces in Morrey
spaces M(p,w) is described. It turns out that for any infinite-dimensional
subspace X of R_p the following alternative holds: either X is isomorphic
to l_2 or X contains a subspace which is isomorphic to c_0 and is
complemented in R_p.

Abstract:
  By a classical result of Kadec and Pe\l czynski (1962), every normalized
weakly null sequence in $L^p$, $p>2$ contains a subsequence equivalent
to the unit vector basis of $\ell^2$ or to the unit vector basis of
$\ell^p$. In this paper we investigate the case $1\le p<2$ and show
that a necessary and sufficient condition for the first alternative in
the Kadec-Pe\l czynski theorem is that the limit random measure $\mu$
of the sequence satisfies $\int_{\mathbb{R}} x^2 d\mu (x)\in L^{p/2}$.

embedding result for real and complex interpolation spaces under type
and cotype conditions.

This is an announcement for the paper "Rethinking Polyhedrality for
Lindenstrauss Spaces" by Emanuele Casini, Enrico Miglierina, and Lukasz
Piasecki.


Abstract:
  A recent example by the authors (see arXiv:1503.09088 [math.FA]) shows
that an old result of Zippin about the existence of an isometric copy of
$c$ in a separable Lindenstrauss space is incorrect. The same example
proves that some characterizations of polyhedral Lindenstrauss spaces,
based on the result of Zippin, are false. The main result of the present
paper provides a new characterization of polyhedrality for the preduals
of $\ell_{1}$ and gives a correct proof for one of the older. Indeed,
we prove that for a space $X$ such that $X^{*}=\ell_{1}$ the following
properties are equivalent:
  (1) $X$ is a polyhedral space; (2) $X$ does not contain an isometric
  copy of $c$; (3) $\sup\left\{ x^{*}(x)\,:\,
x^{*}\in\mathrm{ext}\left(B_{X^{*}}\right)\setminus D(x)\right\}
<1$ for each $x\in S_{X}$, where $D(x)=\left\{ x^{*}\in
S_{X^{*}}:x^{*}(x)=1\right\}$.
  By known theory, from our result follows that a generic Lindenstrauss
space is polyhedral if and only if it does not contain an isometric copy
of $c$.  Moreover, a correct version of the result of Zippin is derived
as a corollary of the main result.

This is an announcement for the paper "Strong extensions for $q$-summing
operators acting in $p$-convex function spaces for $1 \le p \le q$"
by O. Delgado and E. A. Sanchez Perez.


Abstract:
  Let $1\le p\le q<\infty$ and let $X$ be a $p$-convex Banach function
space over a $\sigma$-finite measure $\mu$. We combine the structure
of the spaces $L^p(\mu)$ and $L^q(\xi)$ for constructing the new space
$S_{X_p}^{\,q}(\xi)$, where $\xi$ is a probability Radon measure on a
certain compact set associated to $X$. We show some of its properties,
and the relevant fact that every $q$-summing operator $T$ defined on $X$
can be continuously (strongly) extended to $S_{X_p}^{\,q}(\xi)$. This
result turns out to be a mixture of the Pietsch and Maurey-Rosenthal
factorization theorems, which provide (strong) factorizations for
$q$-summing operators through $L^q$-spaces when $1 \le q \le p$. Thus, our
result completes the picture, showing what happens in the complementary
case $1\le p\le q$, opening the door to the study of the multilinear
versions of $q$-summing operators also in these cases.

This is an announcement for the paper "Bezout Inequality for Mixed
volumes" by Ivan Soprunov and Artem Zvavitch.


Abstract:
   In this paper we consider the following analog of Bezout inequality
for mixed volumes: $$V(P_1,\dots,P_r,\Delta^{n-r})V_n(\Delta)^{r-1}\leq
\prod_{i=1}^r V(P_i,\Delta^{n-1})\ \text{ for }2\leq r\leq n.$$ We show
that the above inequality is true when $\Delta$ is an $n$-dimensional
simplex and $P_1, \dots, P_r$ are convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We
conjecture that if the above inequality is true for all convex bodies
$P_1, \dots, P_r$, then $\Delta$ must be an $n$-dimensional simplex. We
prove that if the above inequality is true for all convex bodies
$P_1, \dots, P_r$, then $\Delta$ must be indecomposable (i.e. cannot
be written as the Minkowski sum of two convex bodies which are not
homothetic to $\Delta$), which confirms the conjecture when $\Delta$
is a simple polytope and in the 2-dimensional case. Finally, we connect
the inequality to an inequality on the volume of orthogonal projections
of convex bodies as well as prove an isomorphic version of the inequality.

This is an announcement for the paper "Nonlinear Operator Ideals Between
Metric Spaces and Banach Spaces, Part I" by Manaf Adnan Saleh Saleh.


Abstract:
  In this paper we present part I of nonlinear operator ideals theory
between metric spaces and Banach spaces. Building upon the definition
of operator ideal between arbitrary Banach spaces of A. Pietsch we pose
three types of nonlinear versions of operator ideals. We introduce several
examples of nonlinear ideals and the relationships between them. For every
space ideal $\mathsf{A}$ can be generated by a special nonlinear ideal
which consists of those Lipschitz operators admitting a factorization
through a Banach space $\mathbf{M}\in\mathsf{A}$. We investigate products
and quotients of nonlinear ideals. We devote to constructions three types
of new nonlinear ideals from given ones. A ``new'' is a rule defining
nonlinear ideals $\mathfrak{A}^{L}_{new}$, $\textswab{A}^{L}_{new}$, and
$\textfrak{A}^{L}_{new}$ for every $\mathfrak{A}$, $\textswab{A}^{L}$,
and $\textfrak{A}^{L}$ respectively, are called a Lipschitz procedure.
Considering the class of all stable objects for a given Lipschitz
procedure we obtain nonlinear ideals having special properties. We
present the concept of a (strongly) $p-$Banach nonlinear ideal ($0<p<1$)
and prove that the nonlinear ideals of Lipschitz nuclear operators,
Lipschitz Hilbert operators, products and quotient are strongly $r-$Banach
nonlinear ideals ($0<r<1$).

This is an announcement for the paper "Ideal structure of the algebra
of bounded operators acting on a Banach space" by Tomasz Kania and Niels
Jakob Laustsen.


Abstract:
   We construct a Banach space $Z$ such that the lattice of closed
two-sided ideals of the Banach algebra $\mathscr{B}(Z)$
of bounded operators on $Z$ is as follows: $$ \{0\}\subset
\mathscr{K}(Z)\subset\mathscr{E}(Z)
   \raisebox{-.5ex}%
   {\ensuremath{\overset{\begin{turn}{30}$\subset$\end{turn}}%
   {\begin{turn}{-30}$\subset$\end{turn}}}}\!\!%
   \begin{array}{c}\mathscr{M}_1\\[1mm]\mathscr{M}_2\end{array}\!\!\!%
   \raisebox{-1.25ex}%
   {\ensuremath{\overset{\raisebox{1.25ex}{\ensuremath{\begin{turn}{-30}$\subset$\end{turn}}}}%
   {\raisebox{-.25ex}{\ensuremath{\begin{turn}{30}$\subset$\end{turn}}}}}}\,\mathscr{B}(Z).
$$
   We then determine which kinds of approximate identities
(bounded/left/right), if any, each of the four non-trivial closed
ideals of $\mathscr{B}(Z)$ contain, and we show that the maximal ideal
$\mathscr{M}_1$ is generated as a left ideal by two operators, but
not by a single operator, thus answering a question left open in our
collaboration with Dales, Kochanek and Koszmider (\emph{Studia Math.}
2013). In contrast, the other maximal ideal $\mathscr{M}_2$ is not
finitely generated as a left ideal.
   The Banach space $Z$ is the direct sum of Argyros and Haydon's
Banach space $X_{\text{AH}}$ which has very few operators and a certain
subspace $Y$ of $X_{\text{AH}}$. The key property of~$Y$ is that every
bounded operator from $Y$ into $X_{\text{AH}}$ is the sum of a scalar
multiple of the inclusion mapping and a compact operator.

Abstract:
   In this article we study plank type problems for polynomials on

positive real numbers $a_1, \ldots, a_n,$ such that for continuous
polynomials $P_1,\ldots,P_n:X\rightarrow \mathbb C$ of degrees
$k_1,\ldots,k_n$, there exists a norm one element $\textbf{z}\in X$ for
which $|P_i(\textbf{z})| \ge a_i^{k_i}$ for $i=1,\ldots,n.$ In order to
do this, we prove some new inequalities for the norm of the product of
polynomials, which are of an independent interest.

This is an announcement for the paper "Persistence of Banach lattices
under nonlinear order isomorphisms" by Denny H. Leung and Wee-Kee Tang.


Abstract:
  Ordered vector spaces E and F are said to be order isomorphic if
there is a (not necessarily linear) bijection between them that preserves
order. We investigate some situations under which an order isomorphism
between two Banach lattices implies the persistence of some linear
lattice structure. For instance, it is shown that if a Banach lattice E
is order isomorphic to C(K) for some compact Hausdorff space K, then E is
(linearly) isomorphic to C(K) as a Banach lattice. Similar results hold
for Banach lattices order isomorphic to c_0, and for Banach lattices
that contain a closed sublattice order isomorphic to c_0.

This is an announcement for the paper "The Dvoretsky-Rogers Theorem
for vector valued integrals on function spaces" by P. Rueda and
E.A. Sanchez-Perez.


Abstract:
   We show a Dvoretsky-Rogers type Theorem for the adapted version of the
$q$-summing operators to the topology of the convergence of the vector
valued integrals on Banach function spaces. In the pursuit of this
objective we prove that the mere summability of the identity map does
not guaranty that the space has to be finite dimensional, contrarily to
the classical case. Some local compactness assumptions on the unit balls
are required. Our results open the door to new convergence theorems
and tools regarding summability of series of integrable functions and
approximation in function spaces, since we may find infinite dimensional
spaces in which convergence of the integrals ---our vector valued version
of convergence in the weak topology--- is equivalent to the convergence
with respect to the norm. Examples and applications are also given.

This is an announcement for the paper "Closed ideals in $\mathcal{L}(X)$

Abstract:
   Suppose $X$ is a real or complexified Banach space containing a
complemented copy of $\ell_p$, $p\in(1,2)$, and a copy (not necessarily
complemented) of either $\ell_q$, $q\in(p,\infty)$, or $c_0$. Then
$\mathcal{L}(X)$ and $\mathcal{L}(X^*)$ each admit continuum many closed
ideals. If in addition $q\geq p'$, $\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{p'}=1$, then the
closed ideals of $\mathcal{L}(X)$ and $\mathcal{L}(X^*)$ each fail to be
linearly ordered. We obtain additional results in the special cases of
$\mathcal{L}(\ell_1\oplus\ell_q)$ and $\mathcal{L}(\ell_p\oplus c_0)$,
$1<p<2<q<\infty$.

show that some of these classes form operator ideals. We characterize the
ordinals which occur as the index of an operator and establish exactly
when the defined classes are closed. We study associated indices for
non-preservation of $\ell_p^\xi$ and $c_0^\xi$ spreading models and
indices characterizing weak compactness of operators between separable
Banach spaces. We also show that some of these classes are operator
ideals and discuss closedness and distinctness of these classes.

Abstract:
  In this paper embeddings between weighted Copson function spaces
${\operatorname{Cop}}_{p_1,q_1}(u_1,v_1)$ and weighted Ces\`{a}ro
function spaces ${\operatorname{Ces}}_{p_2,q_2}(u_2,v_2)$ are
characterized. In particular, two-sided estimates of the optimal
constant $c$ in the inequality \begin{equation*} \bigg( \int_0^{\infty}
\bigg( \int_0^t f(\tau)^{p_2}v_2(\tau)\,d\tau\bigg)^{\frac{q_2}{p_2}}
u_2(t)\,dt\bigg)^{\frac{1}{q_2}} \le c \bigg( \int_0^{\infty} \bigg(
\int_t^{\infty} f(\tau)^{p_1} v_1(\tau)\,d\tau\bigg)^{\frac{q_1}{p_1}}
u_1(t)\,dt\bigg)^{\frac{1}{q_1}}, \end{equation*} where
$p_1,\,p_2,\,q_1,\,q_2 \in (0,\infty)$, $p_2 \le q_2$ and
$u_1,\,u_2,\,v_1,\,v_2$ are weights on $(0,\infty)$, are obtained. The
most innovative part consists of the fact that possibly different
parameters $p_1$ and $p_2$ and possibly different inner weights $v_1$
and $v_2$ are allowed. The proof is based on the combination duality
techniques with estimates of optimal constants of the embeddings between
weighted Ces\`{a}ro and Copson spaces and weighted Lebesgue spaces,
which reduce the problem to the solutions of the iterated Hardy-type
inequalities.

construction of Argyros and Motakis (preprint, 2015) provides the first
negative answer. The parallel question for the weak Calkin algebra also
has a negative answer; we demonstrate this using a Banach space of Read
(J. London Math. Soc. 1989).

This is an announcement for the paper "One side James' Compactness
Theorem" by Bernardo Cascales, Jose Orihuela and Antonio Perez.


Abstract:
  We present some extensions of classical results that involve elements of
the dual of Banach spaces, such as Bishop-Phelp's theorem and James'
compactness theorem, but restricting to sets of functionals determined
by geometrical properties. The main result, which answers a question
posed by F. Delbaen, is the following: Let $E$ be a Banach space such
that $(B_{E^\ast}, \omega^\ast)$ is convex block compact. Let $A$ and
$B$ be bounded, closed and convex sets with distance $d(A,B) > 0$. If
every $x^\ast \in E^\ast$ with \[ \sup(x^\ast,B) < \inf(x^\ast,A) \]
attains its infimum on $A$ and its supremum on $B$, then $A$ and $B$
are both weakly compact.
  We obtain new characterizations of weakly compact sets and reflexive
spaces, as well as a result concerning a variational problem in dual
Banach spaces.

Abstract:
  The closed span of Rademacher functions is investigated in the weighted
spaces X(w), where X is a symmetric space on [0,1] and w is a positive
measurable function on [0,1]. By using the notion and properties
of the Rademacher multiplicator space of a symmetric space, we give
a description of the weights w for which the Rademacher orthogonal
projection is bounded in X(w).

Abstract:
  Given a Banach space X and a subspace Y, the pair (X,Y) is said to have
the approximation property (AP) provided there is a net of finite rank
bounded linear operators on X all of which leave the subspace Y invariant
such that the net converges uniformly on compact subsets of X to the
identity operator.  The main result is an easy to apply dual formulation
of this property.  Applications are given to three space properties;
in particular, if X has the approximation property and its subspace Y
is script L-infinity, then X/Y has the approximation property.

Abstract:
  These notes are dedicated to the study of the complexity of several

continuous property, and the LUST property. We also show that the weak
Banach-Saks property, the Schur property, the Dunford-Pettis property,
the analytic Radon-Nikodym property, the set of Banach spaces whose set of
unconditionally converging operators is complemented in its bounded oper-
ators, the set of Banach spaces whose set of weakly compact operators is
complemented in its bounded operators, and the set of Banach spaces whose
set of Banach-Saks opera- tors is complemented in its bounded operators,
are all non Borel in SB. At last, we give several applications of those
results to non-universality results.

Abstract:

contains a minimal subspace or a continuously tight subspace. In these

the complexity of containing a subspace in any of those classes.

This is an announcement for the paper "Functional calculus for
$C_{0}$-groups using (co)type" by Jan Rozendaal.


Abstract:
   We study the functional calculus properties of generators of
$C_{0}$-groups under type and cotype assumptions on the underlying Banach
space. In particular, we show the following.
   Let $-\mathrm{i}A$ generate a $C_{0}$-group on a Banach space $X$
with type $p\in[1,2]$ and cotype $q\in[2,\infty)$. Then
$A$ has a bounded $\mathcal{H}^{\infty}$-calculus from
$\mathrm{D}_{A}(\tfrac{1}{p}-\tfrac{1}{q},1)$ to $X$, i.e.\
$f(A):\mathrm{D}_{A}(\tfrac{1}{p}-\tfrac{1}{q},1)\to X$ is bounded
for each bounded holomorphic function $f$ on a sufficiently
large strip. %Hence $A$ has a bounded calculus for the class of
bounded holomorphic functions which decay polynomially of order
$\alpha>\frac{1}{p}-\frac{1}{q}$ at infinity. Under additional geometric
assumptions, satisfied by $\mathrm{L}^{p}$-spaces, we cover the case
$\alpha=\frac{1}{p}-\frac{1}{q}$.
   As a corollary of our main theorem, for sectorial operators we
quantify the gap between bounded imaginary powers and a bounded
$\mathcal{H}^{\infty}$-calculus in terms of the type and cotype of
the underlying Banach space. For cosine functions we obtain similar
results as for $C_{0}$-groups. We extend our results to $R$-bounded
operator-valued calculi, and we give an application to the theory of
rational approximation of $C_{0}$-groups.

Abstract:
  Let SB be the standard coding for separable Banach spaces as subspaces
of $C(\Delta)$. In these notes, we show that if $\mathbb{B} \subset
\text{SB}$ is a Borel subset of spaces with separable dual, then
the assignment $X \mapsto X^*$ can be realized by a Borel function
$\mathbb{B}\to \text{SB}$.  Moreover, this assignment can be done in
such a way that the functional evaluation is still well defined (Theorem
$1$). Also, we prove a Borel parametrized version of Zippin's theorem,
i.e., we prove that there exists $Z \in \text{SB}$ and a Borel function
that assigns for each $X \in \mathbb{B}$ an isomorphic copy of $X$
inside of $Z$ (Theorem $5$).

Abstract:
  The main goal of the paper is to provide a quantitative lower bound
greater than $1$ for the relative projection constant $\lambda(Y, X)$,
where $X$ is a subspace of $\ell_{2p}^m$ space and $Y \subset X$ is an
arbitrary hyperplane.  As a consequence, we establish that for every
integer $n \geq 4$ there exists an $n$-dimensional normed space $X$
such that for an every hyperplane $Y$ and every projection $P:X \to
Y$ the inequality $||P|| > 1 + \left (2 \left ( n + 3 \right )^{2}
\right )^{-100(n+3)^2}$ holds. This gives a non-trivial lower bound in
a variation of problem proposed by Bosznay and Garay in $1986$.

Abstract:
  The purpose of this manuscript is to introduce a simplified approach
derived from the framework of conditional sets, which is a novel
approach to study dynamic and conditional settings, as those that
arise in mathematical finance.  Under this approach, and with the aim
of providing an analytic basis for the study of dynamic and conditional
risk measures, we carry out a study of the conditional weak topologies
and conditional weak compactness, extending some well-known results to
this framework and culminating with the proof of conditional versions of
Eberlein-\v{S}mulian and Amir-Lindenstrauss Theorems.  In pursuing this
aim we study the algebraic structure of conditional spaces conditionally
finitely generated and state conditional versions of Baire Category
Theorem and Uniform Boundedness Principle.

Abstract:
   We prove that the Lorentz sequence space $\ell_{\frac{2m}{m+1},1}$
is, in a~precise sense, optimal among all symmetric Banach sequence
spaces satisfying a Bohnenblust-Hille type inequality for $m$-linear
forms or $m$-homogeneous polynomials on $\mathbb{C}^n$. Motivated by this
result we develop methods for dealing with subtle Bohnenblust-Hille type
inequalities in the setting of Lorentz spaces. Based on an interpolation
approach and the Blei-Fournier inequalities involving mixed type spaces,
we prove multilinear and polynomial Bohnenblust-Hille type inequalities in
Lorentz spaces with subpolynomial and subexponential constants. Improving
a remarkable result of Balasubramanian-Calado-Queff\'{e}lec, we show an
application to the theory of Dirichlet series.

of polynomials on the $n$-dimensional torus" by Andreas Defant and

Abstract:
   We prove Nikol'skii type inequalities which for polynomials on the
$n$-dimensional torus $\mathbb{T}^n$ relate the $L^p$-with the $L^q$-norm
(with respect to the normalized Lebesgue measure and $0 <p <q <
\infty$). Among other things we show that $C=\sqrt{q/p}$ is the best
constant such that $\|P\|_{L^q}\leq C^{\text{deg}(P)} \|P\|_{L^p}$ for
all homogeneous polynomials $P$ on $\mathbb{T}^n$. We also prove an exact
inequality between the $L^p$-norm of a polynomial $P$ on $\mathbb{T}^n$
and its Mahler measure $M(P)$, which is the geometric mean of $|P|$
with respect to the normalized Lebesgue measure on $\mathbb{T}^n$. Using
extrapolation we transfer this estimate into a Khintchine-Kahane type
inequality, which, for polynomials on $\mathbb{T}^n$, relates a certain
exponential Orlicz norm and Mahler's measure. Applications are given,
including some interpolation estimates.

This is an announcement for the paper "Chaining, Interpolation, and
Convexity" by Ramon van Handel.


Abstract:
  We show that classical chaining bounds on the suprema of random
processes in terms of entropy numbers can be systematically improved
when the underlying set is convex: the entropy numbers need not be
computed for the entire set, but only for certain "thin" subsets. This
phenomenon arises from the observation that real interpolation can be used
as a natural chaining mechanism. Unlike the general form of Talagrand's
generic chaining method, which is sharp but often difficult to use, the
resulting bounds involve only entropy numbers but are nonetheless sharp
in many situations in which classical entropy bounds are suboptimal. Such
bounds are readily amenable to explicit computations in specific examples,
and we discover some old and new geometric principles for the control
of chaining functionals as special cases.

$C^{\infty}$ smooth norms and polyhedral norms. In particular, we show
that this holds for any equivalent norm on $c_0(\Gamma)$, where $\Gamma$
is an arbitrary set. We also give a necessary condition for the existence
of a polyhedral norm on a weakly compactly generated Banach space,
which extends a well-known result of Fonf.

This is an announcement for the paper "An elementary approach to the
problem of column selection in a rectangular matrix" by Stephane Chretien
and Sebastien Darses.


Abstract:
  The problem of extracting a well conditioned submatrix from any
rectangular matrix (with normalized columns) has been
studied for some time in functional and harmonic analysis; see
\cite{BourgainTzafriri:IJM87,Tropp:StudiaMath08,Vershynin:IJM01} for
methods using random column selection. More constructive approaches
have been proposed recently; see the recent contributions of
\cite{SpielmanSrivastava:IJM12,Youssef:IMRN14}. The column selection
problem we consider in this paper is concerned with extracting a well
conditioned submatrix, i.e. a matrix whose singular values all lie
in $[1-\epsilon,1+\epsilon]$. We provide individual lower and upper
bounds for each singular value of the extracted matrix at the price of
conceding only one log factor in the number of columns, when compared
to the Restricted Invertibility Theorem of Bourgain and Tzafriri. Our
method is fully constructive and the proof is short and elementary.

Abstract:
  In this paper we study two types of collections of operators on a Banach

us to construct an uncountable chain of closed ideals in each of the
operator algebras $\mathcal{L}(\ell_1\oplus\ell_q)$, $1<q<\infty$, and
$\mathcal{L}(\ell_1\oplus c_0)$. This finishes answering a longstanding
question of Pietsch.

Abstract:
  Let $A$ be a matrix whose columns $X_1,\dots, X_N$ are independent
random vectors in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Assume that the tails of the
1-dimensional marginals decay as $\mathbb{P}(|\langle X_i, a\rangle|\geq
t)\leq t^{-p}$ uniformly in $a\in S^{n-1}$ and $i\leq N$. Then for $p>4$
we prove that with high probability $A/{\sqrt{n}}$ has the Restricted
Isometry Property (RIP) provided that Euclidean norms $|X_i|$ are
concentrated around $\sqrt{n}$. We also show that the covariance matrix
is well approximated by the empirical covariance matrix and establish
corresponding quantitative estimates on the rate of convergence in terms
of the ratio $n/N$. Moreover, we obtain sharp bounds for both problems
when the decay is of the type $ \exp({-t^{\alpha}})$ with $\alpha \in
(0,2]$, extending the known case $\alpha\in[1, 2]$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Banach space-valued extensions
of linear operators on $L^{\infty}$" by Nick Lindemulder.


Abstract:
  Let $E$ and $G$ be two Banach function spaces, let $T \in
\mathcal{L}(E,Y)$, and let ${\langle X,Y \rangle}$ be a Banach
dual pair. In this paper we give conditions for which there
exists a (necessarily unique) bounded linear operator $T_{Y} \in
\mathcal{L}(E(Y),G(Y))$ with the property that \[ {\langle x,T_{Y}e
\rangle} = T{\langle x,e \rangle} \quad\quad \forall e \in E(Y), x \in
X. \]
  Our first main result states that, in case ${\langle X,Y \rangle} =
{\langle Y^{*}, Y \rangle}$ with $Y$ a reflexive Banach space, for the
existence of $T_{Y}$ it sufficient that $T$ is dominated by a positive
operator.
  Our second main result concerns the case that $T$ is an adjoint operator
on $L^{\infty}(A)$: we suppose that $E = L^{\infty}(A)$
for a semi-finite measure space $(A,\mathscr{A},\mu)$, that
${\langle F, G \rangle}$ is a K\"othe dual pair, and that $T$ is
$\sigma(L^{\infty}(A),L^{1}(A))$-to-$\sigma(G,F)$ continuous. Then $T_{Y}$
exists provided that $T$ is dominated by a positive operator, in which
case $T_{Y}$ is $\sigma(L^{\infty}(A;Y),L^{1}(A;X))$-to-$\sigma(G(Y),F
\tilde{\otimes} X)$ continuous; here $F \tilde{\otimes} X$ denotes
the closure of $F \otimes X$ in $F(X)$. We also consider situations in
which the existence is automatic and we furthermore show that in certain
situations it is necessary that $T$ is regular. As an application of
this result we consider conditional expectation on Banach space-valued
$L^{\infty}$-spaces.

Abstract:
   Given a Banach space $X$ with an unconditional basis, we consider the
following question: does the identity on $X$ factor through every
bounded operator on $X$ with large diagonal relative to the unconditional
basis? We show that on Gowers' space with its unconditional basis there
exists an operator for which the answer to the question is negative. By
contrast, for any operator on the mixed-norm Hardy spaces $H^p(H^q)$,
where $1 \leq p,q < \infty$, with the bi-parameter Haar system, this
problem always has a positive solution. The one-parameter $H^p$ spaces
were treated first by Andrew in 1979.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the problem of compact totally
disconnected reflection of nonmetrizability" by Piotr Koszmider.


Abstract:
  We construct a ZFC example of a nonmetrizable compact space $K$
such that every totally disconnected closed subspace $L\subseteq K$
is metrizable. In fact, the construction can be arranged so that every
nonmetrizable compact subspace may be of fixed big dimension. Then we
focus on the problem if a nonmetrizable compact space $K$ must have a
closed subspace with a nonmetrizable totally disconnected continuous
image. This question has several links with the the structure of the
Banach space $C(K)$, for example, by Holszty\'nski's theorem, if $K$ is a
counterexample, then $C(K)$ contains no isometric copy of a nonseparable
Banach space $C(L)$ for $L$ totally disconnected. We show that in the
literature there are diverse consistent counterexamples, most eliminated
by Martin's axiom and the negation of the continuum hypothesis, but some
consistent with it. We analyze the above problem for a particular class of
spaces. OCA+MA however, implies the nonexistence of any counterexample in
this class but the existence of some other absolute example remains open.

problem of the existence and uniqueness of a subspace $Y$ that complements

$X_{\pi}$ are considered. We prove that every non-amenable discrete group
$G$ has a representation with non-complemented $X_{\pi}$ and find some
conditions that provide an $G$-invariant complement. A special attention
is given to representations on $C(K)$ that arise from an action of $G$
on a metric compact $K$.

Abstract:
  We provide a number of new quantitative versions of Helly's theorem. For
example, we show that for every family $\{P_i:i\in I\}$ of closed
half-spaces $$P_i=\{ x\in {\mathbb R}^n:\langle x,w_i\rangle \leq 1\}$$
in ${\mathbb R}^n$ such that $P=\bigcap_{i\in I}P_i$ has positive volume,
there exist $s\leq \alpha n$ and $i_1,\ldots , i_s\in I$ such that
$$|P_{i_1}\cap\cdots\cap P_{i_s}|\leq (Cn)^n\,|P|,$$ where $\alpha , C>0$
are absolute constants.  These results complement and improve previous
work of B\'{a}r\'{a}ny-Katchalski-Pach and Nasz\'{o}di. Our method
combines the work of Srivastava on approximate John's decompositions
with few vectors, a new estimate on the corresponding constant in the
Brascamp-Lieb inequality and an appropriate variant of Ball's proof of
the reverse isoperimetric inequality.

Abstract:
   A Banach space $X$ has Pe\l czy\' nski's property (V) if for every
Banach space $Y$ every unconditionally converging operator $T\colon
X\to Y$ is weakly compact. In 1962, Aleksander Pe\l czy\' nski showed
that $C(K)$ spaces for a compact Hausdorff space $K$ enjoy the property
(V), and some generalizations of this theorem have been proved since
then. We introduce several possibilities of quantifying the property
(V). We prove some characterizations of the introduced quantitative
versions of this property, which allow us to prove a quantitative version
of Pelczynski's result about $C(K)$ spaces and generalize it. Finally, we
study the relationship of several properties of operators including weak
compactness and unconditional convergence, and using the results obtained
we establish a relation between quantitative versions of the property (V)
and quantitative versions of other well known properties of Banach spaces.

applications to Ces\`aro means in Banach lattices" by Niushan Gao,

Abstract:
   A net $(x_\alpha)$ in a vector lattice $X$ is said to uo-converge to
$x$ if $|x_\alpha-x|\wedge u\xrightarrow{\rm o}0$ for every $u\ge 0$. In
the first part of this paper, we study some functional-analytic aspects
of uo-convergence. We prove that uo-convergence is stable under passing
to and from regular sublattices. This fact leads to numerous applications
presented throughout the paper. In particular, it allows us to improve
several results in [26,27]. In the second part, we use uo-convergence to
study convergence of Ces\`aro means in Banach lattices. In particular,
we establish an intrinsic version of Koml\'os' Theorem, which extends
the main results of [35,16,31] in a uniform way. We also develop a new
and unified approach to Banach-Saks properties and Banach-Saks operators
based on uo-convergence. This approach yields, in particular, short
direct proofs of several results in [21,24,25].

then certain analogous properties also hold for $\text{Ces}_p(X)$. We
also prove a result on the Opial/uniform Opial property of Ces\`aro
spaces of vector-valued sequences.

This is an announcement for the paper "Strict singularity of a
Volterra-type integral operator on $H^p$" by Santeri Miihkinen.


Abstract:
  We prove that a Volterra-type integral operator $T_gf(z) = \int_0^z
f(\zeta)g'(\zeta)d\zeta, \, z \in \mathbb D,$ defined on Hardy spaces
$H^p, \, 1 \le p < \infty,$ fixes an isomorphic copy of $\ell^p,$ if the
operator $T_g$ is not compact. In particular, this shows that the strict
singularity of the operator $T_g$ coincides with the compactness of the
operator $T_g$ on spaces $H^p.$ As a consequence, we obtain a new proof
for the equivalence of the compactness and the weak compactness of the
operator $T_g$ on $H^1$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Snowflake universality of
Wasserstein spaces" by Alexandr Andoni, Assaf Naor, and Ofer Neiman.


Abstract:
  For $p\in (1,\infty)$ let $\mathscr{P}_p(\mathbb{R}^3)$ denote the
metric space of all $p$-integrable Borel probability measures
on $\mathbb{R}^3$, equipped with the Wasserstein $p$ metric
$\mathsf{W}_p$. We prove that for every $\varepsilon>0$, every $\theta\in
(0,1/p]$ and every finite metric space $(X,d_X)$, the metric space
$(X,d_{X}^{\theta})$ embeds into $\mathscr{P}_p(\mathbb{R}^3)$ with
distortion at most $1+\varepsilon$. We show that this is sharp when
$p\in (1,2]$ in the sense that the exponent $1/p$ cannot be replaced
by any larger number. In fact, for arbitrarily large $n\in \mathbb{N}$
there exists an $n$-point metric space $(X_n,d_n)$ such that for every
$\alpha\in (1/p,1]$ any embedding of the metric space $(X_n,d_n^\alpha)$
into $\mathscr{P}_p(\mathbb{R}^3)$ incurs distortion that is at least a
constant multiple of $(\log n)^{\alpha-1/p}$. These statements establish
that there exists an Alexandrov space of nonnegative curvature,
namely $\mathscr{P}_{\! 2}(\mathbb{R}^3)$, with respect to which
there does not exist a sequence of bounded degree expander graphs. It
also follows that $\mathscr{P}_{\! 2}(\mathbb{R}^3)$ does not admit a
uniform, coarse, or quasisymmetric embedding into any Banach space of
nontrivial type. Links to several longstanding open questions in metric
geometry are discussed, including the characterization of subsets of
Alexandrov spaces, existence of expanders, the universality problem
for $\mathscr{P}_{\! 2}(\mathbb{R}^k)$, and the metric cotype dichotomy
problem.

Operators on Lattice-Normed Spaces" by Xiao Chun Fang and Marat Pliev.


Abstract:
  The aim of this article is to extend results of M.~Popov and second
named author about orthogonally additive narrow operators on vector
lattices. The main object of our investigations are an orthogonally
additive narrow operators between lattice-normed spaces. We prove that
every $C$-compact laterally-to-norm continuous orthogonally additive
operator from a Banach-Kantorovich space $V$ to a Banach lattice $Y$
is narrow. We also show that every dominated Uryson operator from
Banach-Kantorovich space over an atomless Dedekind complete vector lattice
$E$ to a sequence Banach lattice $\ell_p(\Gamma)$ or $c_0(\Gamma)$ is
narrow. Finally, we prove that if an orthogonally additive dominated
operator $T$ from lattice-normed space $(V,E)$ to Banach-Kantorovich
space $(W,F)$ is order narrow then the order narrow is its exact dominant
$\ls T\rs$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Quantitative affine approximation
for UMD targets" by Tuomas Hytonen, Sean Li, and Assaf Naor.


Abstract:
  It is shown here that if $(Y,\|\cdot\|_Y)$ is a Banach space in which
martingale differences are unconditional (a UMD Banach space) then there
exists $c=c(Y)\in (0,\infty)$ with the following property. For every
$n\in \mathbb{N}$ and $\varepsilon\in (0,1/2]$, if $(X,\|\cdot\|_X)$
is an $n$-dimensional normed space with unit ball $B_X$ and $f:B_X\to
Y$ is a $1$-Lipschitz function then there exists an affine mapping
$\Lambda:X\to Y$ and a sub-ball $B^*=y+\rho B_X\subseteq B_X$ of radius
$\rho\ge \exp(-(1/\varepsilon)^{cn})$ such that $\|f(x)-\Lambda(x)\|_Y\le
\varepsilon \rho$ for all $x\in B^*$. This estimate on the macroscopic
scale of affine approximability of vector-valued Lipschitz functions is
an asymptotic improvement (as $n\to \infty$) over the best previously
known bound even when $X$ is $\mathbb{R}^n$ equipped with the Euclidean
norm and $Y$ is a Hilbert space.

This is an announcement for the paper "Dvoretzky's theorem and the
complexity of entanglement detection" by Guillaume Aubrun and Stanislaw
Szarek.


Abstract:
  The well-known Horodecki criterion asserts that a state $\rho$ on
$\mathbb{C}^d \otimes \mathbb{C}^d$ is entangled if and only if there
exists a positive map $\Phi : \mathsf{M}_d \to \mathsf{M}_d$ such
that the operator $(\Phi \otimes \mathsf{I})(\rho)$ is not positive
semi-definite. We show that that the number of such maps needed to
detect all the robustly entangled states (i.e., states $\rho$ which
remain entangled even in the presence of substantial randomizing noise)
exceeds $\exp(c d^3 / \log d)$. The proof is based on a study of the
approximability of the set of states (resp. of separable states) by
polytopes with few vertices or with few faces, and ultimately relies on
the Dvoretzky--Milman theorem about the dimension of almost spherical
sections of convex bodies. The result can be interpreted as a geometrical
manifestation of the complexity of entanglement detection.

This is an announcement for the paper "Haar meager sets revisited"
by Martin Dolezal, Martin Rmoutil, Benjamin Vejnar, and Vaclav Vlasak.


Abstract:
  In the present article we investigate Darji's notion of Haar meager sets
from several directions. We consider alternative definitions and show
that some of them are equivalent to the original one, while others
fail to produce interesting notions. We define Haar meager sets in
nonabelian Polish groups and show that many results, including the
facts that Haar meager sets are meager and form a $\sigma$-ideal,
are valid in the more general setting as well.  The article provides
various examples distinguishing Haar meager sets from Haar null sets,
including decomposition theorems for some subclasses of Polish groups. As
a corollary we obtain, for example, that $\mathbb Z^\omega$, $\mathbb
R^\omega$ or any Banach space can be decomposed into a Haar meager set and
a Haar null set. We also establish the stability of non-Haar meagerness
under Cartesian product.

sets. We prove similar results for Minkowski sums of the sets.

an embedding into $X$ with distortion $\le D\cdot C$, where $D$ is
an absolute constant. The goal of this paper is to show that $D>1$,
implying that, in general, there is a ``deterioration of distortion''
in the aforementioned situations.

Abstract:
  In this paper we focus on the relation between Riemann integrability and

property if every Riemann integrable function from $[0,1]$ into $X$
is weakly continuous almost everywhere. We prove that the weak Lebesgue
property is stable under $\ell_1$-sums and obtain new examples of Banach
spaces with and without this property. Furthermore, we characterize
Dunford-Pettis operators in terms of Riemann integrability and provide
a quantitative result about the size of the set of $\tau$-continuous
non Riemann integrable functions, with $\tau$ a locally convex topology
weaker than the norm topology.

and we will find the log-concave function maximizing the integral ratio. A
reverse functional a?ne isoperimetric inequality will be given, written in
terms of this integral ratio. This can be viewed as a stability version
of the functional affine isoperimetric inequality.

matrix as the integral of the numerical values of $A$ over the Euclidean
sphere to the unit spheres of finite-dimensional normed spaces that have
a 1-symmetric basis. Our result is new even in the case of $\ell_p$-norms
in $\mathbb{R}^N$ for $p\neq 2$.

This is an announcement for the paper "1-Grothendieck $C(K)$ spaces"
by Jindrich Lechner.


Abstract:
  A Banach space is said to be Grothendieck if weak and weak$^*$
convergent sequences in the dual space coincide. This notion has been
quantificated by H.  Bendov\'{a}. She has proved that $\ell_\infty$ has
the quantitative Grothendieck property, namely, it is 1-Grothendieck. Our
aim is to show that Banach spaces from a certain wider class are
1-Grothendieck, precisely, $C(K)$ is 1-Grothendieck provided $K$ is
a totally disconnected compact space such that its algebra of clopen
subsets has the so called Subsequential completeness property.

This is an announcement for the paper "Optimal domain of $q$-concave
operators and vector measure representation of $q$-concave Banach
lattices" by O. Delgado and E.A. Sanchez Perez.


Abstract:
  Given a Banach space valued $q$-concave linear operator $T$ defined on a
$\sigma$-order continuous quasi-Banach function space, we provide a
description of the optimal domain of $T$ preserving $q$-concavity, that
is, the largest $\sigma$-order continuous quasi-Banach function space
to which $T$ can be extended as a $q$-concave operator. We show in this
way the existence of maximal extensions for $q$-concave operators. As
an application, we show a representation theorem for $q$-concave Banach
lattices through spaces of integrable functions with respect to a vector
measure. This result culminates a series of representation theorems for
Banach lattices using vector measures that have been obtained in the
last twenty years.

Abstract:
  We prove that if a convex body has absolutely continuous surface area
measure, whose density is sufficiently close to the constant, then
the sequence $\{\Pi^mK\}$ of convex bodies converges to the ball with
respect to the Banach-Mazur distance, as $m\rightarrow\infty$. Here,
$\Pi$ denotes the projection body operator. Our result allows us to show
that the ellipsoid is a local solution to the conjectured inequality of
Petty and to improve a related inequality of Lutwak.

Abstract:
  The Restricted Invertibility problem is the problem of selecting the

smallest singular value of the extracted submatrix above a certain
threshold. In this paper, we address this problem in the simpler case
where $X$ is a random matrix but with the additional constraint that the
selected columns be almost orthogonal to a given vector $v$. Our main
result is a lower bound on the number of columns we can extract from a
normalized i.i.d. Gaussian matrix for the worst $v$.

Abstract:
  We investigate complex structures on twisted Hilbert spaces, with
special attention paid to the Kalton-Peck $Z_2$ space and to the
hyperplane problem. We consider (nontrivial) twisted Hilbert spaces
generated by centralizers obtained from an interpolation scale of K\"othe
function spaces. We show there are always complex structures on the
Hilbert space that cannot be extended to the twisted Hilbert space. If,
however, the scale is formed by rearrangement invariant K\"othe function
spaces then there are complex structures on it that can be extended to a
complex structure of the twisted Hilbert space.  Regarding the hyperplane
problem we show that no complex structure on $\ell_2$ can be extended
to a complex structure on an hyperplane of $Z_2$ containing it.

Abstract:
  We extend the concept of weaving Hilbert space frames to the Banach
space setting. Similar to frames in a Hilbert space, we show that for
any two approximate Schauder frames for a Banach space, every weaving
is an approximate Schauder frame if and only if there is a uniform
constant $C\geq 1$ such that every weaving is a $C$-approximate Schauder
frame. We also study weaving Schauder bases, where it is necessary
to introduce two notions of weaving.  On one hand, we can ask if two
Schauder bases are woven when considered as Schauder frames with their
biorthogonal functionals, and alternatively, we can ask if each weaving
of two Schauder bases remains a Schauder basis. We will prove that these
two notions coincide when all weavings are unconditional, but otherwise
they can be different. Lastly, we prove two perturbation theorems for
approximate Schauder frames.

Abstract:
   Let us define, for a compact set $A \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, the Minkowski
averages of $A$: $$ A(k) =3D \left\{\frac{a_1+\cdots +a_k}{k}
: a_1, \ldo= ts, a_k\in A\right\}=3D\frac{1}{k}\Big(\underset{k\
{\rm times}}{\underbrace{= A + \cdots + A}}\Big). $$ We study the
monotonicity of the convergence of $A(= k)$ towards the convex hull
of $A$, when considering the Hausdorff distance, the volume deficit
and a non-convexity index of Schneider as measures of convergence. For
the volume deficit, we show that monotonicity fails in general, thus
disproving a conjecture of Bobkov, Madiman and Wang. For Schneider's
non-convexity index, we prove that a strong form of monotonic= ity
holds, and for the Hausdorff distance, we establish that the sequence
is eventually nonincreasing.

This is an announcement for the paper "Abstract Ces\`aro spaces: Integral
representations" by Guillermo P. Curbera and Werner J. Ricker.


Abstract:
  The Ces\`aro function spaces $Ces_p=[C,L^p]$, $1\le p\le\infty$, have
received renewed attention in recent years. Many properties of $[C,L^p]$
are known. Less is known about $[C,X]$ when the Ces\`aro operator
takes its values in a rearrangement invariant (r.i.) space $X$ other
than $L^p$. In this paper we study the spaces $[C,X]$ via the methods
of vector measures and vector integration. These techniques allow us
to identify the absolutely continuous part of $[C,X]$ and the Fatou
completion of $[C,X]$; to show that $[C,X]$ is never reflexive and
never r.i.; to identify when $[C,X]$ is weakly sequentially complete,
when it is isomorphic to an AL-space, and when it has the Dunford-Pettis
property. The same techniques are used to analyze the operator $C:[C,X]\to
X$; it is never compact but, it can be completely continuous.

and Tandori spaces" by Sergey V. Astashkin, Karol Lesnik, and Lech

Abstract:
   We investigate the isomorphic structure of the Ces\`aro spaces and their
duals, the Tandori spaces. The main result states that the
Ces\`aro function space $Ces_{\infty}$ and its sequence counterpart
$ces_{\infty}$ are isomorphic, which answers to the question posted in
\cite{AM09}. This is rather surprising since $Ces_{\infty}$ has no
natural lattice predual similarly as the known Talagrand's example
\cite{Ta81}. We prove that neither $ces_{\infty}$ is isomorphic
to $l_{\infty}$ nor $Ces_{\infty}$ is isomorphic to the Tandori space
$\widetilde{L_1}$ with the norm $\|f\|_{\widetilde{L_1}}
=\|\widetilde{f}\|_{L_1},$ where $\widetilde{f}(t): \esssup_{s \geq t}
|f(s)|.$ Our investigation involves also an examination of the Schur
and Dunford-Pettis properties of Ces\`aro and Tandori spaces. In
particular, using Bourgain's results we show that a wide class of
Ces{\`a}ro-Marcinkiewicz and Ces{\`a}ro-Lorentz spaces have the latter
property.

Abstract:
  We prove that for any two quasi-Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$ and any
$\alpha>0$ there exists a constant $c_\alpha>0$ such that $$ \sup_{1\le
k\le n}k^{\alpha}e_k(T)\le c_\alpha \sup_{1\le k\le n} k^\alpha c_k(T)
$$ holds for all linear and bounded operators $T:X\to Y$. Here $e_k(T)$
is the $k$-th entropy number of $T$ and $c_k(T)$ is the $k$-th Gelfand
number of $T$. For Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$ this inequality is widely
used and well-known as Carl's inequality. For general quasi-Banach spaces
it is a new result, which closes a gap in the argument of Donoho in his
seminal paper on compressed sensing.

  \[\mathcal{M}_f:\ell^{\infty} \rightarrow H^p(\delta^2), \quad
(\varphi_{I\times J}) \mapsto \sum \varphi_{I\times J}f_{I \times
J}h_{I \times J}. \] Our method yields a constructive proof of Pisier's
decomposition of $f \in H^p(\delta^2)$
  \[|f|=|x|^{1-\theta}|y|^{\theta}\quad\quad \text{ and }\quad\quad
\|x\|_{X_0}^{1-\theta}\|y\|^{\theta}_{H^2(\delta^2)}\leq
C\|f\|_{H^p(\delta^2)}, \] where $X_0$ is Pisier's extrapolation lattice
associated to $H^p(\delta^2)$ and $H^2(\delta^2)$. Our construction
of the Pietsch measure for the multiplication operator $\mathcal{M}_f$
involves the Haar coefficients of $f$ and its atomic decomposition. We
treated the one-parameter $H^p$-spaces in [P.F.X M\"uller, J.Penteker,
$p$-summing multiplication operators, dyadic Hardy spaces and atomic
decomposition, Houston Journal Math.,41(2):639-668,2015.].

This is an announcement for the paper "Asymptotic Smoothness, Convex
Envelopes and Polynomial Norms" by Jesus A. Jaramillo, Raquel Gonzalo
and Diego Yanez.
Abstract:
  We introduce a suitable notion of asymptotic smoothness on infinite
dimensional Banach spaces, and we prove that, under some structural
restrictions on the space, the convex envelope of an asymptotically smooth
function is asymptotically smooth. Furthermore, we study convexity and
smoothness properties of polynomial norms, and we obtain that a polynomial
norm of degree N has modulus of convexity of power type N.

This is an announcement for the paper "Distortion of embeddings of
binary trees into diamond graphs" by Siu Lam Leung, Sarah Nelson, Sofiya
Ostrovska, and Mikhail Ostrovskii.

Abstract:
   Diamond graphs and binary trees are important examples in the theory of
metri
c embeddings and also in the theory of metric characterizations
of Banach spaces. Some results for these families of graphs are
parallel to each other, for example superreflexivity of Banach spaces
can be characterized both in terms of binary trees (Bourgain, 1986)
and diamond graphs (Johnson-Schechtman, 2009). In this connection,
it is natural to ask whether one of these families admits uniformly
bilipschitz embeddings into the other. This question was answered in
the negative by Ostrovskii (2014), who left it open to determine the order
of growth of the distortions. The main purpose of this paper is to get a
sharp-up-to-a-logarithmic-factor estimate for the distortions of embeddings
of binary trees into diamond graphs.

This is an announcement for the paper "Nonexistence of embeddings with
uniformly bounded distortions of Laakso graphs into diamond graphs"
by Sofiya Ostrovska and Mikhail I. Ostrovskii.


Abstract:
   Diamond graphs and Laakso graphs are important examples in the theory
of metric embeddings. Many results for these families of graphs are
similar to each other. In this connection, it is natural to ask whether
one of these families admits uniformly bilipschitz embeddings into the
other. The well-known fact that Laakso graphs are uniformly doubling
but diamond graphs are not, immediately implies that diamond graphs do
not admit uniformly bilipschitz embeddings into Laakso graphs. The main
goal of this paper is to prove that Laakso graphs do not admit uniformly
bilipschitz embeddings into diamond graphs.

and Dimitris-Marios Liakopoulos

This is an announcement for the paper "Estimates for measures of lower
dimensional sections of convex bodies" by Giorgos Chasapis, Apostolos
Giannopoulos and Dimitris-Marios Liakopoulos.

Abstract:
  We present an alternative approach to some results of Koldobsky on
measures of sections of symmetric convex bodies, which allows us to extend
them to the not necessarily symmetric setting. We prove that if $K$ is
a convex body in ${\mathbb R}^n$ with $0\in {\rm int}(K)$ and if $\mu $
is a measure on ${\mathbb R}^n$ with a locally integrable non-negative
density $g$ on ${\mathbb R}^n$, then \begin{equation*}\mu (K)\leq
\left (c\sqrt{n-k}\right )^k\max_{F\in G_{n,n-k}}\mu (K\cap F)\cdot
|K|^{\frac{k}{n}}\end{equation*} for every $1\leq k\leq n-1$. Also,
if $\mu $ is even and log-concave, and if $K$ is a symmetric convex
body in ${\mathbb R}^n$ and $D$ is a compact subset of ${\mathbb R}^n$
such that $\mu (K\cap F)\leq \mu (D\cap F)$ for all $F\in G_{n,n-k}$,
then \begin{equation*}\mu (K)\leq \left (ckL_{n-k}\right )^{k}\mu
(D),\end{equation*} where $L_s$ is the maximal isotropic constant of
a convex body in ${\mathbb R}^s$. Our method employs a generalized
Blaschke-Petkantschin formula and estimates for the dual affine
quermassintegrals.

lattices" by Antonio Aviles, Antonio J. Guirao, Sebastian Lajara, Jose
Rodriguez, and Pedro Tradacete.


Abstract:
  We study the different ways in which a weakly compact set can generate a
Banach lattice. Among other things, it is shown that in an order
continuous Banach lattice $X$, the existence of a weakly compact set
$K \subset X$ such that $X$ coincides with the band generated by $K$,
implies that $X$ is WCG.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Karim Khanaki

This is an announcement for the paper "Correspondences between model
theory and banach space theory" by Karim Khanaki.


Abstract:
  In \cite{K3} we pointed out the correspondence between a result
of Shelah in model theory, i.e. a theory is unstable if and only if
it has IP or SOP, and the well known compactness theorem of Eberlein
and \v{S}mulian in functional analysis. In this paper, we relate a
{\em natural} Banach space $V$ to a formula $\phi(x,y)$, and show that
$\phi$ is stable (resp NIP, NSOP) if and only if $V$ is reflexive (resp
Rosenthal, weakly sequentially complete) Banach space. Also, we present
a proof of the Eberlein-\v{S}mulian theorem by a model theoretic approach
using Ramsey theorems which is illustrative to show some correspondences
between model theory and Banach space theory.
