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.

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. Moreover, the space
$\mc{L}_{\diag}(\eqs_d)$ of diagonal operators with respect to the
basis \seq{e}{n} contains an isomorphic copy of $\ell_{\infty}(\N)$.

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.
