This is an announcement for the paper "On the maximization of a class of functionals on convex regions, and the characterization of the farthest convex set" by Evans Harrell and Antoine Henrot. Abstract: We consider a family of functionals $J$ to be maximized over the planar convex sets $K$ for which the perimeter and Steiner point have been fixed. Assuming that $J$ is the integral of a quadratic expression in the support function $h$, we show that the maximizer is always either a triangle or a line segment (which can be considered as a collapsed triangle). Among the concrete consequences of the main theorem is the fact that, given any convex body $K_1$ of finite perimeter, the set in the class we consider that is farthest away in the sense of the $L^2$ distance is always a line segment. We also prove the same property for the Hausdorff distance.

This is an announcement for the paper "Constructions of sequential spaces" by Jarno Talponen. Abstract: We introduce and study certain type of variable exponent \ell^p spaces. These spaces will typically not be rearrangement-invariant but instead they enjoy a good local control of some geometric properties. We obtain some interesting examples of Banach spaces with a 1-unconditional basis.

This is an announcement for the paper "The infinite dimensional restricted invertibility theorem" by Peter G. Casazza and Goetz E. Pfander. Abstract: The 1987 Bourgain-Tzafriri Restricted Invertibility Theorem is one of the most celebrated theorems in analysis. At the time of their work, the authors raised the question of a possible infinite dimensional version of the theorem. In this paper, we will give a quite general definition of restricted invertibility for operators on infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces based on the notion of "density" from frame theory. We then prove that localized Bessel systems have large subsets which are Riesz basic sequences. As a consequence, we prove the strongest possible form of the infinite dimensional restricted invertibility theorem for $\ell_1$-localized operators and for Gabor frames with generating function in the Feichtinger Algebra. For our calculations, we introduce a new notion of "density" which has serious advantages over the standard form because it is independent of index maps - and hence has much broader application. We then show that in the setting of the restricted invertibility theorem, this new density becomes equivalent to the standard density.

This is an announcement for the paper "$L_p$ compression, traveling salesmen, and stable walks" by Assaf Naor and Yuval Peres. Abstract: We show that if $H$ is a group of polynomial growth whose growth rate is at least quadratic then the $L_p$ compression of the wreath product $\Z\bwr H$ equals $\max{\frac{1}{p},{1/2}}$. We also show that the $L_p$ compression of $\Z\bwr \Z$ equals $\max{\frac{p}{2p-1},\frac23}$ and the $L_p$ compression of $(\Z\bwr\Z)_0$ (the zero section of $\Z\bwr \Z$, equipped with the metric induced from $\Z\bwr \Z$) equals $\max{\frac{p+1}{2p},\frac34}$. The fact that the Hilbert compression exponent of $\Z\bwr\Z$ equals $\frac23$ while the Hilbert compression exponent of $(\Z\bwr\Z)_0$ equals $\frac34$ is used to show that there exists a Lipschitz function $f:(\Z\bwr\Z)_0\to L_2$ which cannot be extended to a Lipschitz function defined on all of $\Z\bwr \Z$.
