This is an announcement for the paper "On maps which preserve equality of distance in F-spaces" by Dongni Tan. Abstract: In order to generalize the results of Mazur-Ulam and Vogt, we shall prove that any map T which preserves equality of distance with T(0)=0 between two F-spaces without surjective condition is linear. Then , as a special case linear isometries are characterized through a simple property of their range.

This is an announcement for the paper "Note on distortion and Bourgain $\ell_1$ index" by Anna Maria Pelczar. Abstract: The relation between different notions measuring proximity to $\ell_1$ and distortability of a Banach space is studied. The main result states that a Banach space, whose all subspaces have Bourgain $\ell_1$ index greater than $\omega^\alpha$, $\alpha<\omega_1$, contains either an arbitrary distortable subspace or an $\ell_1^\alpha$-asymptotic subspace.

This is an announcement for the paper "Some classes of rational functions and related Banach spaces" by R. M. Dudley, Sergiy Sidenko, Zuoqin Wang, and Fangyun Yang. Abstract: For positive integers d, r, and M, we consider the class of rational functions on real d-dimensional space whose denominators are products of at most r functions of the form 1+Q(x) where each Q is a quadratic form with eigenvalues bounded above by M and below by 1/M. Each numerator is a monic monomial of the same degree as the corresponding denominator. Then we form the Banach space of countable linear combinations of such rational functions with absolutely summable coefficients, normed by the infimum of sums of absolute values of the coefficients. We show that for rational functions whose denominators are rth powers of a specific 1+Q, or differences of two such rational functions with the same numerator, the norm is achieved by and only by the obvious combination of one or two functions respectively. We also find bounds for coefficients in partial-fraction decompositions of some specific rational functions, which in some cases are quite sharp.

This is an announcement for the paper "Conical square functions in UMD Banach spaces" by Tuomas Hytonen, Jan van Neerven, and Pierre Portal. Abstract: We study conical square function estimates for Banach-valued functions, and introduce a vector-valued analogue of the Coifman-Meyer-Stein tent spaces. Following recent work of Auscher-McIntosh-Russ, the tent spaces in turn are used to construct a scale of vector-valued Hardy spaces associated with a given bisectorial operator $A$ with certain off-diagonal bounds, such that $A$ always has a bounded $H^{\infty}$-functional calculus on these spaces. This provides a new way of proving functional calculus of $A$ on the Bochner spaces $L^p(\R^n;X)$ by checking appropriate conical square function estimates, and also a conical analogue of Bourgain's extension of the Littlewood-Paley theory to the UMD-valued context. Even when $X=\C$, our approach gives refined $p$-dependent versions of known results.

This is an announcement for the paper "The extremal volume ellipsoids of convex bodies, their symmetry properties, and their determination in some special cases" by Osman Gueler and Filiz Guertuna. Abstract: A convex body K has associated with it a unique circumscribed ellipsoid CE(K) with minimum volume, and a unique inscribed ellipsoid IE(K) with maximum volume. We first give a unified, modern exposition of the basic theory of these extremal ellipsoids using the semi-infinite programming approach pioneered by Fritz John in his seminal 1948 paper. We then investigate the automorphism groups of convex bodies and their extremal ellipsoids. We show that if the automorphism group of a convex body K is large enough, then it is possible to determine the extremal ellipsoids CE(K) and IE(K) exactly, using either semi-infinite programming or nonlinear programming. As examples, we compute the extremal ellipsoids when the convex body K is the part of a given ellipsoid between two parallel hyperplanes, and when K is a truncated second order cone or an ellipsoidal cylinder.

This is an announcement for the paper "Sharp constants related to the triangle inequality in Lorentz spaces" by Sorina Barza, Viktor Kolyada, and Javier Soria. Abstract: We study the Lorentz spaces $L^{p,s}(R,\mu)$ in the range $1<p<s\le \infty$, for which the standard functional $$ ||f||_{p,s}=\left(\int_0^\infty (t^{1/p}f^*(t))^s\frac{dt}{t}\right)^{1/s} $$ is only a quasi-norm. We find the optimal constant in the triangle inequality for this quasi-norm, which leads us to consider the following decomposition norm: $$ ||f||_{(p,s)}=\inf\bigg\{\sum_{k}||f_k||_{p,s}\bigg\}, $$ where the infimum is taken over all finite representations $f=\sum_{k}f_k. $ We also prove that the decomposition norm and the dual norm $$ ||f||_{p,s}'= \sup\left\{ \int_R fg\,d\mu: ||g||_{p',s'}=1\right\} $$ agree for all values $p,s>1$.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the linear independence of spikes and sines" by Joel A. Tropp. Abstract: The purpose of this work is to survey what is known about the linear independence of spikes and sines. The paper provides new results for the case where the locations of the spikes and the frequencies of the sines are chosen at random. This problem is equivalent to studying the spectral norm of a random submatrix drawn from the discrete Fourier transform matrix. The proof involves methods from geometric functional analysis.

This is an announcement for the paper "Counterexamples for the convexity of certain matricial inequalities" by Marius Junge and Quanhua Xu. Abstract: In \cite{CL} Carlen and Lieb considered Minkowski type inequalities in the context of operators on a Hilbert space. More precisely, they considered the homogenous expression \[ f_{pq}(x_1,...,x_n) \lel \big(tr\big((\sum_{k=1}^n x_k^q)^{p/q}\big)\big)^{1/p} \pl \] defined for positive matrices. The concavity for $q=1$ and $p<1$ yields strong subadditivity for quantum entropy. We discuss the convexity of $f_{pq}$ and show that, contrary to the commutative case, there exists a $q_0>1$ such that $f_{1q}$ is not convex for all $1<q<q_0$. This is achieved by constructing a family of interesting channels on $2\times 2$ matrices.
