This is an announcement for the paper "Preduals of semigroup algebras" by Matthew Daws, Hung Le Pham, and Stuart White. Abstract: For a locally compact group $G$, the measure convolution algebra $M(G)$ carries a natural coproduct. In previous work, we showed that the canonical predual $C_0(G)$ of $M(G)$ is the unique predual which makes both the product and the coproduct on $M(G)$ weak$^*$-continuous. Given a discrete semigroup $S$, the convolution algebra $\ell^1(S)$ also carries a coproduct. In this paper we examine preduals for $\ell^1(S)$ making both the product and the coproduct weak$^*$-continuous. Under certain conditions on $S$, we show that $\ell^1(S)$ has a unique such predual. Such $S$ include the free semigroup on finitely many generators. In general, however, this need not be the case even for quite simple semigroups and we construct uncountably many such preduals on $\ell^1(S)$ when $S$ is either $\mathbb Z_+\times\mathbb Z$ or $(\mathbb N,\cdot)$.

This is an announcement for the paper "A unified Pietsch domination theorem" by Geraldo Botelho, Daniel Pellegrino and Pilar Rueda. Abstract: In this paper we prove an abstract version of Pietsch's domination theorem which unify a number of known Pietsch-type domination theorems for classes of mappings that generalize the ideal of absolutely p-summing linear operators. A final result shows that Pietsch-type dominations are totally free from algebraic conditions, such as linearity, multilinearity, etc. Archive classification: math.FA Remarks: 10 pages The source file(s), abstract-PDT-20nov.tex: 32852 bytes, is(are) stored in gzipped form as 0811.3518.gz with size 9kb.

This is an announcement for the paper "The Banach space-valued BMO, Carleson's condition, and paraproducts" by Tuomas Hytonen and Lutz Weis. Abstract: We define a scale of L^q Carleson norms, all of which characterize the membership of a function in BMO. The phenomenon is analogous to the John-Nirenberg inequality, but on the level of Carleson measures. The classical Carleson condition corresponds to the L^2 case in our theory. The result is applied to give a new proof for the L^p-boundedness of paraproducts with a BMO symbol. A novel feature of the argument is that all p are covered at once in a completely interpolation-free manner. This is achieved by using the L^1 Carleson norm, and indicates the usefulness of this notion. Our approach is chosen so that all these results extend in a natural way to the case of X-valued functions, where X is a Banach space with the UMD property.

This is an announcement for the paper "Decompositions, approximate structure, transference, and the Hahn-Banach theorem" by W. T. Gowers. Abstract: This paper is partly a survey of certain kinds of results and proofs in additive combinatorics, and partly a discussion of how useful the finite-dimensional Hahn-Banach theorem can be. The most interesting single result is probably a simpler proof of a key step in the proof of the Green-Tao theorem, but several other applications of the method are given. A similarly simplified proof of the Green-Tao transference principle was obtained independently (and expressed in a rather different language) by Reingold, Trevisan, Tulsiani and Vadhan.

This is an announcement for the paper "Sufficient enlargements of minimal volume for finite dimensional normed linear spaces" by M.I. Ostrovskii. Abstract: Let $B_Y$ denote the unit ball of a normed linear space $Y$. A symmetric, bounded, closed, convex set $A$ in a finite dimensional normed linear space $X$ is called a {\it sufficient enlargement} for $X$ if, for an arbitrary isometric embedding of $X$ into a Banach space $Y$, there exists a linear projection $P:Y\to X$ such that $P(B_Y)\subset A$. The main results of the paper: {\bf (1)} Each minimal-volume sufficient enlargement is linearly equivalent to a zonotope spanned by multiples of columns of a totally unimodular matrix. {\bf (2)} If a finite dimensional normed linear space has a minimal-volume sufficient enlargement which is not a parallelepiped, then it contains a two-dimensional subspace whose unit ball is linearly equivalent to a regular hexagon.

This is an announcement for the paper "Spaces of operator-valued functions measurable with respect to the strong operator topology" by Oscar Blasco and Jan van Neerven. Abstract: Let $X$ and $Y$ be Banach spaces and $(\Omega,\Sigma,\mu)$ a finite measure space. In this note we introduce the space $L^p[\mu;L(X,Y)]$ consisting of all (equivalence classes of) functions $\Phi:\Omega \mapsto L(X,Y)$ such that $\omega \mapsto \Phi(\omega)x$ is strongly $\mu$-measurable for all $x\in X$ and $\omega \mapsto \Phi(\omega)f(\omega)$ belongs to $L^1(\mu;Y)$ for all $f\in L^{p'}(\mu;X)$, $1/p+1/p'=1$. We show that functions in $L^p[\mu;\L(X,Y)]$ define operator-valued measures with bounded $p$-variation and use these spaces to obtain an isometric characterization of the space of all $L(X,Y)$-valued multipliers acting boundedly from $L^p(\mu;X)$ into $L^q(\mu;Y)$, $1\le q< p<\infty$.

This is an announcement for the paper "A note on the Busemann-Petty problem for bodies of certain invariance" by Marisa Zymonopoulou. Abstract: The Busemann-Petty problem asks whether origin symmetric convex bodies in $\R^n$ with smaller hyperplane sections necessarily have smaller volume. The answer is affirmative if $n\leq 3$ and negative if $n\geq 4.$ We consider a class of convex bodies that have a certain invariance property with respect to their ordered k-tuples of coordinates in $\R^{kn}$ and prove the corresponding problem.

This is an announcement for the paper "General Hormander and Mikhlin conditions for multipliers of Besov spaces" by Rishad Shahmurov. Abstract: Here a new condition for the geometry of Banach spaces is introduced and the operator--valued Fourier multiplier theorems in weighted Besov spaces are obtained. Particularly, connections between the geometry of Banach spaces and Hormander-Mikhlin conditions are established. As an application of main results the regularity properties of degenerate elliptic differential operator equations are investigated.

This is an announcement for the paper "Convexity and smoothness of Banach spaces with numerical index one" by Vladimir Kadets, Miguel Martin, Javier Meri, and Rafael Paya . Abstract: We show that a Banach space with numerical index one cannot enjoy good convexity or smoothness properties unless it is one-dimensional. For instance, it has no WLUR points in its unit ball, its norm is not Frechet smooth and its dual norm is neither smooth nor strictly convex. Actually, these results also hold if the space has the (strictly weaker) alternative Daugavet property. We construct a (non-complete) strictly convex predual of an infinite-dimensional $L_1$ space (which satisfies a property called lushness which implies numerical index~$1$). On the other hand, we show that a lush real Banach space is neither strictly convex nor smooth, unless it is one-dimensional. In particular, if a subspace $X$ of the real space $C[0,1]$ is smooth or strictly convex, then $C[0,1]/X$ contains a copy of $C[0,1]$. Finally, we prove that the dual of any lush infinite-dimensional real space contains a copy of $\ell_1$.
