This is an announcement for the paper "Complex interpolation of compact operators mapping into the couple (FL^{\infty},FL_{1}^{\infty})" by Michael Cwikel and Svante Janson. Abstract: If (A_0,A_1) and (B_0,B_1) are Banach couples and a linear operator T from A_0 + A_1 to B_0 + B_1 maps A_0 compactly into B_0 and maps A_1 boundedly into B_1, does T necessarily also map [A_0,A_1]_s compactly into [B_0,B_1]_s for s in (0,1)? After 42 years this question is still not answered, not even in the case where T is also compact from A_1 to B_1. But affirmative answers are known for many special choices of (A_0,A_1) and (B_0,B_1). Furthermore it is known that it would suffice to resolve this question in the special case where (B_0,B_1) is the special couple (l^\infty(FL^\infty), l^\infty(FL^\infty_1)). Here FL^\infty is the space of all sequences which are Fourier coefficients of bounded functions, FL^\infty_1 is the weighted space of all sequences (a_n) such that (e^n a_n) is in FL^\infty, and thus B_0 and B_1 are the spaces of bounded sequences of elements in these spaces (i.e., they are spaces of doubly indexed sequences). We provide an affirmative answer to this question in the related but simpler case where (B_0,B_1) is the special couple (FL^\infty,FL^\infty_1).

This is an announcement for the paper "Coefficient quantization in Banach spaces" by S. J. Dilworth, E. Odell, Th. Schlumprecht, and Andras Zsak. Abstract: Let (e_i) be a dictionary for a separable Banach space X. We consider the problem of approximation by linear combinations of dictionary elements with quantized coefficients drawn usually from a `finite alphabet'. We investigate several approximation properties of this type and connect them to the Banach space geometry of X. The existence of a total minimal system with one of these properties, namely the coefficient quantization property, is shown to be equivalent to X containing c_0.

This is an announcement for the paper "Shadow systems and volume of polar convex bodies" by Mathieu Meyer and Shlomo Reisner. Abstract: We prove that the reciprocal of the volume of the polar bodies, about the Santal\'o point, of a {\em shadow system\/} of convex bodies $K_t$, is a convex function of $t$. Thus extending to the non-symmetric case a result of Campi and Gronchi. The case that the reciprocal of the volume is an affine function of $t$ is also investigated and is characterized under certain conditions. We apply these results to prove exact reverse Santal\'o inequality for polytopes in $\rd{d}$ that have at most $d+3$ vertices.

This is an announcement for the paper "Generalized Jacobian for functions with infinite dimensional range and domain" by Zsolt P\'ales and Vera Zeidan. Abstract: In this paper, locally Lipschitz functions acting between infinite dimensional normed spaces are considered. When the range is a dual space and satisfies the Radon--Nikod\'ym property, Clarke's generalized Jacobian will be extended to this setting. Characterization and fundamental properties of the extended generalized Jacobian are established including the nonemptiness, the $\beta$-compactness, the $\beta$-upper semicontinuity, and a mean-value theorem. A connection with known notions is provided and chain rules are proved using key results developed. This included the vectorization and restriction theorem, and the extension theorem. Therefore, the generalized Jacobian introduced in this paper is proved to enjoy all the properties required of a derivative like-set.

This is an announcement for the paper "Sharp estimates of martingale transforms in higher dimensions and applications to the Ahlfors-Beurling operator" by Oliver Dragicevic, Stefanie Petermichl, and Alexander Volberg. Abstract: The main aspiration of this note is to construct several different Haar-type systems in euclidean spaces of higher dimensions and prove sharp Lp bounds for the corresponding martingale transforms. In dimension one this was a result of Burkholder. The motivation for working in this direction is the search for Lp estimates of the Ahlfors-Beurling operator.

This is an announcement for the paper "Decomposable quadratic forms in Banach spaces" by S.V. Konyagin and L. Vesely. Abstract: A continuous quadratic form on a real Banach space $X$ is called {\em decomposable} if it is the difference of two nonnegative (i.e., positively semidefinite) continuous quadratic forms. We prove that if $X$ belongs to a certain class of superreflexive Banach spaces, including all $L_p(\mu)$ spaces with $2\le p<\infty$, then each continuous quadratic form on $X$ is decomposable. On the other hand, on each infinite-dimensional $L_1(\mu)$ space there exists a continuous quadratic form $q$ that is not delta-convex (i.e., $q$ is not representable as difference of two continuous convex functions); in particular, $q$ is not decomposable. Related results concerning delta-convexity are proved and some open problems are stated.
