This is an announcement for the paper "A version of Lomonosov's theorem for collections of positive operators" by Alexey I. Popov and Vladimir G. Troitsky. Abstract: It is known that for every Banach space X and every proper WOT-closed subalgebra A of L(X), if A contains a compact operator then it is not transitive. That is, there exist non-zero x in X and f in X* such that f(Tx)=0 for all T in A. In the case of algebras of adjoint operators on a dual Banach space, V.Lomonosov extended this as follows: without having a compact operator in the algebra, |f(Tx)| is less than or equal to the essential norm of the pre-adjoint operator T_* for all T in A. In this paper, we prove a similar extension (in case of adjoint operators) of a result of R.Drnovsek. Namely, we prove that if C is a collection of positive adjoint operators on a Banach lattice X satisfying certain conditions, then there exist non-zero positive x in X and f in X* such that f(Tx) is less than or equal to the essential norm of T_* for all T in C.

This is an announcement for the paper "The Littlewood--Paley--Rubio de Francia property of a Banach space for the case of equal intervals" by T. P. Hyt\"onen, J. L. Torrea, and D. V. Yakubovich. Abstract: Let $X$ be a Banach space. It is proved that an analogue of the Rubio de Francia square function estimate for partial sums of the Fourier series of $X$-valued functions holds true for all disjoint collections of subintervals of the set of integers of equal length and for all exponents $p$ greater or equal than 2 if and only if the space $X$ is a UMD space of type 2. The same criterion is obtained for the case of subintervals of the real line and Fourier integrals instead of Fourier series.

This is an announcement for the paper "Boundaries for Banach spaces determine weak compactness" by Hermann Pfitzner. Abstract: A boundary for a Banach space is a subset of the dual unit sphere with the property that each element of the Banach space attains its norm on an element of that boundary. Trivially, the pointwise convergence with respect to such a boundary is coarser than the weak topology on the Banach space. Godefroy's Boundary Problem asks whether nevertheless both topologies have the same bounded compact sets. This paper contains the answer in the positive.

This is an announcement for the paper "Optimal lower bounds on the maximal p-negative type of finite metric spaces" by Anthony Weston. Abstract: This article derives lower bounds on the supremal (strict) p-negative type of finite metric spaces using purely elementary techniques. The bounds depend only on the cardinality and the (scaled) diameter of the underlying finite metric space. Examples show that these lower bounds can easily be best possible under clearly delineated circumstances. We further point out that the entire theory holds (more generally) for finite semi-metric spaces without modification and wherein the lower bounds are always optimal.

This is an announcement for the paper "Saturated extensions, the attractors method and Hereditarily James Tree Space" by Spiros A. Argyros, Alexander D. Arvanitakis, and Andreas G. Tolias. Abstract: In the present work we provide a variety of examples of HI Banach spaces containing no reflexive subspace and we study the structure of their duals as well as the spaces of their linear bounded operators. Our approach is based on saturated extensions of ground sets and the method of attractors.

Abstract: We construct a Hereditarily Indecomposable Banach space $\eqs_d$ with a Schauder basis \seq{e}{n} on which there exist strictly singular non-compact diagonal operators.

This is an announcement for the paper "An exact Ramsey principle for block sequences" by Christian Rosendal. Abstract: We prove an exact, i.e., formulated without $\Delta$-expansions, Ramsey principle for infinite block sequences in vector spaces over countable fields, where the two sides of the dichotomic principle are represented by respectively winning strategies in Gowers' block sequence game and winning strategies in the infinite asymptotic game. This allows us to recover Gowers' dichotomy theorem for block sequences in normed vector spaces by a simple application of the basic determinacy theorem for infinite asymptotic games.

This is an announcement for the paper "The Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma almost characterizes Hilbert space, but not quite" by William B. Johnson and Assaf Naor. Abstract: Let $X$ be a normed space that satisfies the Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma (J-L lemma, in short) in the sense that for any integer $n$ and any $x_1,\ldots,x_n\in X$ there exists a linear mapping $L:X\to F$, where $F\subseteq X$ is a linear subspace of dimension $O(\log n)$, such that $\|x_i-x_j\|\le\|L(x_i)-L(x_j)\|\le O(1)\cdot\|x_i-x_j\|$ for all $i,j\in \{1,\ldots, n\}$. We show that this implies that $X$ is almost Euclidean in the following sense: Every $n$-dimensional subspace of $X$ embeds into Hilbert space with distortion $2^{2^{O(\log^*n)}}$. On the other hand, we show that there exists a normed space $Y$ which satisfies the J-L lemma, but for every $n$ there exists an $n$-dimensional subspace $E_n\subseteq Y$ whose Euclidean distortion is at least $2^{\Omega(\alpha(n))}$, where $\alpha$ is the inverse Ackermann function.

This is an announcement for the paper "The complex Busemann-Petty problem for arbitrary measures" by Marisa Zymonopoulou. Abstract: The complex Busemann-Petty problem asks whether origin symmetric convex bodies in C^n with smaller central hyperplane sections necessarily have smaller volume. The answer is affirmative if n\leq 3 and negative if n\geq 4. In this article we show that the answer remains the same if the volume is replaced by an "almost" arbitrary measure. This result is the complex analogue of Zvavitch's generalization to arbitrary measures of the original real Busemann-Petty problem.

This is an announcement for the paper "The modified complex Busemann-Petty problem on sections of convex bodies" by Marisa Zymonopoulou. Abstract: Since the answer to the complex Busemann-Petty problem is negative in most dimensions, it is natural to ask what conditions on the (n-1)-dimensional volumes of the central sections of complex convex bodies with complex hyperplanes allow to compare the n-dimensional volumes. In this article we give necessary conditions on the section function in order to obtain an affirmative answer in all dimensions.
