This is an announcement for the paper "Randomized series and geometry
of Banach spaces" by Han Ju Lee.
Abstract: We study some properties of the randomized series and
their applications to the geometric structure of Banach spaces. For
$n\ge 2$ and $1<p<\infty$, it is shown that $\ell_\infty^n$ is
representable in a Banach space $X$ if and only if it is representable
in the Lebesgue-Bochner $L_p(X)$. New criteria for various convexity
properties in Banach spaces are also studied. It is proved that a
Banach lattice $E$ is uniformly monotone if and only if its
$p$-convexification $E^{(p)}$ is uniformly convex and that a K\"othe
function space $E$ is upper locally uniformly monotone if and only
if its $p$-convexification $E^{(p)}$ is midpoint locally uniformly
convex.

This is an announcement for the paper "Characterizations of the
Radon-Nikodym Property in terms of inverse limits" by Jeff Cheeger
and Bruce Kleiner.
Abstract: We show that a separable Banach space has the Radon-Nikodym
Property if and only if it is isomorphic to the limit of an inverse
system, V_1<--- V_2<---...<--- V_k<---..., where the V_i's are
finite dimensional Banach spaces, and the bonding maps V_{k-1}<---
V_k are quotient maps. We also show that the inverse system can be
chosen to be a good finite dimensional approximation (GFDA), a
notion introduced our earlier paper "On the differentiability of
Lipschtz maps from metric measure spaces into Banach spaces". As a
corollary, it follows that the differentiation and bi-Lipschitz
non-embedding theorems in that paper, which were proved for maps
into GFDA targets, are optimal in the sense that they hold for
targets with the Radon-Nikodym Property.

This is an announcement for the paper "Countable groups of isometries
on Banach spaces" by Valentin Ferenczi and Eloi Medina Galego.
Abstract: A group $G$ is representable in a Banach space $X$ if $G$
is isomorphic to the group of isometries on $X$ in some equivalent
norm. We prove that a countable group $G$ is representable in a
separable real Banach space $X$ in several general cases, including
when $G=\{-1,1\} \times H$, $H$ finite and $\dim X \geq |H|$, or
when $G$ contains a normal subgroup with two elements and $X$ is
of the form $c_0(Y)$ or $\ell_p(Y)$, $1 \leq p <+\infty$. This is
a consequence of a result inspired by methods of S. Bellenot and
stating that under rather general conditions on a separable real
Banach space $X$ and a countable bounded group $G$ of isomorphisms
on $X$ containing $-Id$, there exists an equivalent norm on $X$ for
which $G$ is equal to the group of isometries on $X$.
We also extend methods of K. Jarosz to prove that any complex
Banach space of dimension at least $2$ may be renormed to admit
only trivial real isometries, and that any real Banach space which
is a cartesian square may be renormed to admit only trivial and
conjugation real isometries. It follows that every real space of
dimension at least $4$ and with a complex structure up to isomorphism
may be renormed to admit exactly two complex structures up to
isometry, and that every real cartesian square may be renormed to
admit a unique complex structure up to isometry.

This is an announcement for the paper "The wreath product of Z with
Z has Hilbert compression exponent 2/3" by Tim Austin, Assaf Naor,
and Yuval Peres.
Abstract: We consider the wreath product $\Z\bwr \Z $, and prove
that any Lipschitz function $f:\Z\bwr \Z \to L_2$ satisfies
$$\liminf_{d_{\Z\bwr\Z}(x,y)\to
\infty}\frac{\|f(x)-f(y)\|_2}{d_{\Z\bwr\Z}(x,y)^{2/3}}<\infty. $$
On the other hand, as as shown by Tessera in~\cite{Tess06}, there
exists a Lipschitz function $g:\Z\bwr \Z \to L_2$ and a real $c>0$
such that $\|f(x)-f(y)\|_2 \ge c\,d_{\Z\bwr\Z}(x,y)^{2/3}$ for all
$x,y \in \Z\bwr\Z$. Thus the Hilbert compression exponent of $\Z\bwr
\Z$ is exactly $\frac23$, answering a question posed by Arzhantseva,
Guba and Sapir~\cite{AGS06} and by Tessara~\cite{Tess06}. Our proof
is based on an application of K. Ball's notion of Markov type.

This is an announcement for the paper "An extension of a
Bourgain--Lindenstrauss--Milman inequality" by Omer Friedland and
Sasha Sodin.
Abstract: Let || . || be a norm on R^n. Averaging || (\eps_1 x_1,
\cdots, \eps_n x_n) || over all the 2^n choices of \eps = (\eps_1,
\cdots, \eps_n) in \{ -1, +1 \}^n, we obtain an expression ||| .
||| which is an unconditional norm on R^n.
Bourgain, Lindenstrauss and Milman showed that, for a certain (large)
constant \eta > 1, one may average over (\eta n) (random) choices
of \eps and obtain a norm that is isomorphic to ||| . |||. We show
that this is the case for any \eta > 1.

Abstract: Let $A=(a_{j,k})_{j,k \ge 1}$ be a non-negative matrix.
In this paper, we characterize those $A$ for which $\|A\|_{E, F}$
are determined by their actions on decreasing sequences, where $E$
and $F$ are suitable normed Riesz spaces of sequences.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the fixed point property
in direct sums of Banach spaces with strictly monotone norms" by
Stanislaw Prus and Andrzej Wisnicki.
Abstract: It is shown that if a Banach space X has the super fixed
point property for nonexpansive mappings or admits a 1-unconditional
basis and Y satisfies property asymptotic (P) (which is weaker than
the condition WCS(Y)>1), then the direct sum of X and Y endowed
with a strictly monotone norm enjoys the weak fixed point property.

This is an announcement for the paper "A new infinite game in Banach
spaces with applications" by Edward Odell, Thomas Schlumprecht and
Andras Zsak.
Abstract: We consider the following two-player game played on a
separable, infinite-dimensional Banach space X. Player S chooses a
positive integer k_1 and a finite-codimensional subspace X_1 of X.
Then player P chooses x_1 in the unit sphere of X_1. Moves alternate
thusly, forever. We study this game in the following setting. Certain
normalized, 1-unconditional sequences (u_i) and (v_i) are fixed so
that S has a winning strategy to force P to select x_i's so that
if the moves are (k_1,X_1,x_1,k_2,X_2,x_2,...), then (x_i) is
dominated by (u_{k_i}) and/or (x_i) dominates (v_{k_i}). In particular,
we show that for suitable (u_i) and (v_i) if X is reflexive and S
can win both of the games above, then X embeds into a reflexive
space Z with an FDD which also satisfies analogous block upper (u_i)
and lower (v_i) estimates. Certain universal space consequences
ensue.

This is an announcement for the paper "Quotients of continuous
convex functions on nonreflexive Banach spaces" by P. Holicky, O.
Kalenda, L. Vesely, and L. Zajicek.
Abstract: On each nonreflexive Banach space X there exists a positive
continuous convex function f such that 1/f is not a d.c. function
(i.e., a difference of two continuous convex functions). This result
together with known ones implies that X is reflexive if and only
if each everywhere defined quotient of two continuous convex functions
is a d.c. function. Our construction gives also a stronger version
of Klee's result concerning renormings of nonreflexive spaces and
non-norm-attaining functionals.

This is an announcement for the paper "Trees and Markov convexity"
by James R. Lee, Assaf Naor, and Yuval Peres.
Abstract: We show that an infinite weighted tree admits a bi-Lipschitz
embedding into Hilbert space if and only if it does not contain
arbitrarily large complete binary trees with uniformly bounded
distortion. We also introduce a new metric invariant called Markov
convexity, and show how it can be used to compute the Euclidean
distortion of any metric tree up to universal factors.
