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).

Dear colleague,
this is the last announcement of the Satellite conference of the world
congress ICM2006:
Banach space theory: classical topics and new directions
http://www.banachspaces.com
The conference aim is to contemplate the topic of Banach spaces from an
open and broader point of view; so, in addition to classical Banach space
theory, related topics of active research have been included. There will
be a special session on Polynomials on Banach spaces organized by R. Aron,
D. García and M. Maestre. The main lines of the conference can thus be
described as:
·Structure and geometry of infinite dimensional Banach and quasi-Banach
spaces
·Infinite dimensional topology
·Asymptotic geometric analysis
·Categorical and homological methods
·Applications of descriptive set theory
·Polynomials on Banach spaces

Banach space theory:
classical topics & new directions
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.
