This is an announcement for the paper "Duality of metric entropy" by S. Artstein, V. Milman, and S. J. Szarek. Abstract: For two convex bodies K and T in $R^n$, the covering number of K by T, denoted N(K,T), is defined as the minimal number of translates of T needed to cover K. Let us denote by $K^o$ the polar body of K and by D the euclidean unit ball in $R^n$. We prove that the two functions of t, N(K,tD) and N(D, tK^o), are equivalent in the appropriate sense, uniformly over symmetric convex bodies K in $R^n$ and over positive integers n. In particular, this verifies the duality conjecture for entropy numbers of linear operators, posed by Pietsch in 1972, in the central case when either the domain or the range of the operator is a Hilbert space.

This is an announcement for the paper "The volume of separable states is super-doubly-exponentially small" by Stanislaw Szarek. Abstract: In this note we give sharp estimates on the volume of the set of separable states on N qubits. In particular, the magnitude of the "effective radius" of that set in the sense of volume is determined up to a factor which is a (small) power of N, and thus precisely on the scale of powers of its dimension. Additionally, one of the appendices contains sharp estimates (by known methods) for the expected values of norms of the GUE random matrices. We employ standard tools of classical convexity, high-dimensional probability and geometry of Banach spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "About countably-normed spaces" by Jeremy J. Becnel. Abstract: Here we present an overview of countably normed spaces. In particular, we discuss the main topologies---weak, strong, inductive, and Mackey---placed on the dual of a countably normed spaces and discuss the sigma fields generated by these topologies. In particlar, we show that the strong, inductive, and Mackey topologies are equivalent under reasonable conditions. Also we show that all four topologies induce the same Borel field under certain conditions. The purpose in mind is to provide the background material for many of the results used in White Noise Analysis.

This is an announcement for the paper "Incomparable, non isomorphic and minimal Banach spaces" by Christian Rosendal. Abstract: A Banach space contains either a minimal subspace or a continuum of incomparable subspaces. General structure results for analytic equivalence relations are applied in the context of Banach spaces to show that if $E_0$ does not reduce to isomorphism of the subspaces of a space, in particular, if the subspaces of the space admit a classification up to isomorphism by real numbers, then any subspace with an unconditional basis is isomorphic to its square and hyperplanes and has an isomorphically homogeneous subsequence.
