25 Jan '06

Dear Friends, The Department of Mathematical Sciences of Kent State University is planning a Conference to Celebrate the Life and Work of Vladimir Gurariy. The meeting will take place on Friday-Saturday, March 10-11, 2006. There will be several components to this meeting which will only be able to touch on the contributions, in so many different areas, that Vladimir made. In particular, speakers at the meeting will include Per Enflo (Kent), Wolfgang Lusky (Paderborn), Mikhail Ostrovskii (New York), Peter Sarnak (Princeton), and Juan Seoane (Kent). We anticipate several other speakers, and we also invite participants to offer talks at this meeting. In addition, there will be a concert on Friday evening featuring performances of piano and vocal music composed by Vladimir. It will be a great help to the organizers if people could let us know of their intended participation. With thanks and best wishes, Richard Aron (aron(a)math.kent.edu) Joe Diestel (j_diestel(a)hotmail.com) Per Enflo (enflo(a)math.kent.edu) Victor Lomonosov (lomonoso(a)math.kent.edu) Andrew Tonge (tonge(a)math.kent.edu) and Artem Zvavitch (zvavitch(a)math.kent.edu)

This is an announcement for the paper "Games in Banach spaces: Questions and several answers" by Jakub Duda and Boaz Tsaban. Abstract: Aronszajn-null sets are a notion of negligible sets for infinite dimensional Banach spaces generalizing Lebesgue measure zero sets on the real line and the Euclidean space. We present a game-theoretic approach to Aronszajn null sets, and discuss the ensuing open problems.

This is an announcement for the paper "More mixed Tsirelson spaces that are not isomorphic to their modified versions" by Denny H. Leung and Wee-Kee Tang. Abstract: The class of mixed Tsirelson spaces is an important source of examples in the recent development of the structure theory of Banach spaces. The related class of modifed mixed Tsirelson spaces has also been well studied. In the present paper, we investigate the problem of comparing isomorphically the mixed Tsirelson space T[(S_n,\theta_{n})_{n=1}^{\infty}] and its modified version T_{M}[(S_{n},\theta_{n})_{n=1}^{\infty}]. It is shown that these spaces are not isomorphic for a large class of parameters (\theta_{n}).

Abstract of a paper by S. Artstein-Avidan, O. Friedland, V. Milman, and S. Sodin

This is an announcement for the paper "Polynomial bounds for large Bernoulli sections of $\ell_1^N$" by S. Artstein-Avidan, O. Friedland, V. Milman, and S. Sodin. Abstract: We prove a quantitative version of the bound on the smallest singular value of a Bernoulli covariance matrix (due to Bai and Yin). Then we use this bound, together with several recent developments, to show that the distance from a random (1-delta) n - dimensional section of l_1^n, realised as an image of a sign matrix, to an Euclidean ball is polynomial in 1/delta (and independent of n), with high probability.

This is an announcement for the paper "A universal Lipschitz extension property of Gromov hyperbolic spaces" by A. Brudnyi and Yu. Brudnyi. Abstract: A metric space has the universal Lipschitz extension property if for each subspace S embedded quasi-isometrically into an arbitrary metric space M there exists a continuous linear extension of Banach-valued Lipschitz functions on S to those on all of M. We show that the finite direct sum of Gromov hyperbolic spaces of bounded geometry is universal in the sense of this definition.

Abstract of a paper by Roman Vershynin

This is an announcement for the paper "Random sets of isomorphism of linear operators on Hilbert space" by Roman Vershynin. Abstract: This note deals with a problem of the probabilistic Ramsey theory. Given a linear operator T on a Hilbert space with an orthogonal basis, we define the isomorphic structure Sigma(T) as the family of all finite subsets of the basis such that T restricted to their span is a nice isomorphism. We give an optimal bound on the size of Sigma(T). This improves and extends in several ways the principle of restricted invertibility due to Bourgain and Tzafriri. With an appropriate notion of randomness, we obtain a randomized principle of restricted invertibility.
