This is an announcement for the paper "Extremely non-complex C(K) spaces" by Piotr Koszmider, Miguel Martin, and Javier Meri . Abstract: We show that there exist infinite-dimensional extremely non-complex Banach spaces, i.e.\ spaces $X$ such that the norm equality $\|Id + T^2\|=1 + \|T^2\|$ holds for every bounded linear operator $T:X\longrightarrow X$. This answers in the positive Question 4.11 of [Kadets, Martin, Meri, Norm equalities for operators, \emph{Indiana U.\ Math.\ J.} \textbf{56} (2007), 2385--2411]. More concretely, we show that this is the case of some $C(K)$ spaces with few operators constructed in [Koszmider, Banach spaces of continuous functions with few operators, \emph{Math.\ Ann.} \textbf{330} (2004), 151--183] and [Plebanek, A construction of a Banach space $C(K)$ with few operators, \emph{Topology Appl.} \textbf{143} (2004), 217--239]. We also construct compact spaces $K_1$ and $K_2$ such that $C(K_1)$ and $C(K_2)$ are extremely non-complex, $C(K_1)$ contains a complemented copy of $C(2^\omega)$ and $C(K_2)$ contains a (1-complemented) isometric copy of $\ell_\infty$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Sure wins, separating probabilities and the representation of linear functionals" by Gianluca Cassese. Abstract: We discuss conditions under which a convex cone $\K\subset \R^{\Omega}$ admits a probability $m$ such that $\sup_{k\in \K} m(k)\leq0$. Based on these, we also characterize linear functionals that admit the representation as finitely additive expectations. A version of Riesz decomposition based on this property is obtained as well as a characterisation of positive functionals on the space of integrable functions Archive classification: math.FA math.PR Mathematics Subject Classification: 28A25, 28C05 The source file(s), JMAAR1.tex: 32542 bytes, is(are) stored in gzipped form as 0709.3411.gz with size 11kb.

This is an announcement for the paper "Remarks on the non-commutative Khintchine inequalities for $0<p<2$" by Gilles Pisier. Abstract: We show that the validity of the non-commutative Khintchine inequality for some $q$ with $1<q<2$ implies its validity (with another constant) for all $1\le p<q$. We prove this for the inequality involving the Rademacher functions, but also for more general ``lacunary'' sequences, or even non-commutative analogues of the Rademacher functions. For instance, we may apply it to the ``$Z(2)$-sequences'' previously considered by Harcharras. The result appears to be new in that case. It implies that the space $\ell^n_1$ contains (as an operator space) a large subspace uniformly isomorphic (as an operator space) to $R_k+C_k$ with $k\sim n^{\frac12}$. This naturally raises several interesting questions concerning the best possible such $k$. Unfortunately we cannot settle the validity of the non-commutative Khintchine inequality for $0<p<1$ but we can prove several would be corollaries. For instance, given an infinite scalar matrix $[x_{ij}]$, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for $[\pm x_{ij}]$ to be in the Schatten class $S_p$ for almost all (independent) choices of signs $\pm 1$. We also characterize the bounded Schur multipliers from $S_2$ to $S_p$. The latter two characterizations extend to $0<p<1$ results already known for $1\le p\le2$. In addition, we observe that the hypercontractive inequalities, proved by Carlen and Lieb for the Fermionic case, remain valid for operator space valued functions, and hence the Kahane inequalities are valid in this setting.

This is an announcement for the paper "Infinite asymptotic games" by Christian Rosendal. Abstract: We study infinite asymptotic games in Banach spaces with an F.D.D. and prove that analytic games are determined by characterising precisely the conditions for the players to have winning strategies. These results are applied to characterise spaces embeddable into $\ell_p$ sums of finite dimensional spaces, extending results of Odell and Schlumprecht, and to study various notions of homogeneity of bases and Banach spaces. These results are related to questions of rapidity of subsequence extraction from normalised weakly null sequences.

This is an announcement for the paper "Estimates for covering numbers in Schauder's theorem about adjoints of compact operators" by Michael Cwikel and Eliahu Levy. Abstract: Let T:X --> Y be a bounded linear map between Banach spaces X and Y. Let S:Y' --> X' be its adjoint. Let B(X) and B(Y') be the closed unit balls of X and Y' respectively. We obtain apparently new estimates for the covering numbers of the set S(B(Y')). These are expressed in terms of the covering numbers of T(B(X)), or, more generally, in terms of the covering numbers of a "significant" subset of T(B(X)). The latter more general estimates are best possible. These estimates follow from our new quantitative version of an abstract compactness result which generalizes classical theorems of Arzela-Ascoli and of Schauder. Analogous estimates also hold for the covering numbers of T(B(X)), in terms of the covering numbers of S(B(Y')) or in terms of a suitable "significant" subset of S(B(Y')).

This is an announcement for the paper "Approximation by Lipschitz, C^{p} smooth functions on weakly compactly generated Banach spaces" by R. Fry. Abstract: It is shown that on weakly compactly generated Banach spaces which admit a Lipschitz, C^{p} smooth bump function, one can uniformly approximate uniformly continuous, bounded, real-valued functions by Lipschitz, C^{p} smooth functions. This provides a `Lipschitz version' of the classical approximation results of Godefroy, Troyanski, Whitfield and Zizler.
