IV International Course on Mathematical Analysis in Andalusia
by Francisco Javier Garcia Pacheco 14 Mar '09

14 Mar '09

Dear Colleagues, The IV International Course on Mathematical Analysis in Andalusia will be held in the University of Cadiz, Spain (EU), from the 8th to the 12th of September 2009. This edition will be dedicated to celebrate the life and work of Dr. Antonio Aizpuru Tomas, full professor at the Math Department of the University of Cadiz, who suddenly passed away on May 1st, 2008. He was mainly responsible for the development of the studies of mathematics in Cadiz and for the research activities on functional analysis in this university. He was also a beloved person and appreciated friend. We kindly invite you to participate in this scientific event which we hope will be of your interest. Please visit the conference website http://cidama.uca.es for additional information. Best regards, Francisco J Garcia-Pacheco Visiting Assistant Professor Department of Mathematics Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843-3368 USA +1 979 845 2029 www.math.tamu.edu/~fgarcia on behalf of The Organizing Committee, http://cidama.uca.es, info.cidama(a)uca.es

This is an announcement for the paper "Positive definite functions and multidimensional versions of random variables" by Alexander Koldobsky. Abstract: We say that a random vector $X=(X_1,...,X_n)$ in $R^n$ is an $n$-dimensional version of a random variable $Y$ if for any $a\in R^n$ the random variables $\sum a_iX_i$ and $\gamma(a) Y$ are identically distributed, where $\gamma:R^n\to [0,\infty)$ is called the standard of $X.$ An old problem is to characterize those functions $\gamma$ that can appear as the standard of an $n$-dimensional version. In this paper, we prove the conjecture of Lisitsky that every standard must be the norm of a space that embeds in $L_0.$ This result is almost optimal, as the norm of any finite dimensional subspace of $L_p$ with $p\in (0,2]$ is the standard of an $n$-dimensional version ($p$-stable random vector) by the classical result of P.L\`evy. An equivalent formulation is that if a function of the form $f(\|\cdot\|_K)$ is positive definite on $R^n,$ where $K$ is an origin symmetric star body in $R^n$ and $f:R\to R$ is an even continuous function, then either the space $(R^n,\|\cdot\|_K)$ embeds in $L_0$ or $f$ is a constant function. Combined with known facts about embedding in $L_0,$ this result leads to several generalizations of the solution of Schoenberg's problem on positive definite functions.

This is an announcement for the paper "Weakly countably determined spaces of high complexity" by Antonio Aviles. Abstract: We prove that there exist weakly countably determined spaces of complexity higher than coanalytic. On the other hand, we also show that coanalytic sets can be characterized by the existence of a cofinal adequate family of closed sets. Therefore the Banach spaces constructed by means of these families have at most coanalytic complexity. Archive classification: math.FA Mathematics Subject Classification: 46B26 Citation: Stud.

This is an announcement for the paper "Cotype and absolutely summing linear operators" by Geraldo Botelho, Daniel Pellegrino and Pilar Rueda. Abstract: Cotype is used in this paper to prove new results concerning the existence of non-absolutely summing linear operators between Banach spaces. We derive consequences that extend/generalize/ complement some classic results. We also point out that some of our results are sharp.

This is an announcement for the paper "Automorphisms in spaces of continuous functions on Valdivia compacta" by Antonio Aviles and Yolanda Moreno. Abstract: We show that there are no automorphic Banach spaces of the form C(K) with K continuous image of Valdivia compact except the spaces c0(I). Nevertheless, when K is an Eberlein compact of finite height such that C(K) is not isomorphic to c0(I), all isomorphism between subspaces of C(K) of size less than aleph_omega extend to automorphisms of C(K).

This is an announcement for the paper "Expansion properties of metric spaces not admitting a coarse embedding into a Hilbert space" by M.I. Ostrovskii. Abstract: The main purpose of the paper is to find some expansion properties of locally finite metric spaces which do not embed coarsely into a Hilbert space. The obtained result is used to show that infinite locally finite graphs excluding a minor embed coarsely into a Hilbert space. In an appendix a direct proof of the latter result is given.
