This is an announcement for the paper "On a question by Corson about
point-finite coverings" by Andrea Marchese and Clemente Zanco.
Abstract: We answer in the affirmative the following question raised
by H. H. Corson in 1961: "Is it possible to cover every Banach space
X by bounded convex sets with nonempty interior in such a way that no
point of X belongs to infinitely many of them?" Actually we show the way
to produce in every Banach space X a bounded convex tiling of order 2,
i.e. a covering of X by bounded convex closed sets with nonempty interior
(tiles) such that the interiors are pairwise disjoint and no point of
X belongs to more than two tiles.

This is an announcement for the paper "The universal Glivenko-Cantelli
property" by Ramon van Handel.
Abstract: Let F be a separable uniformly bounded family of measurable
functions on a standard measurable space, and let N_{[]}(F,\epsilon,\mu)
be the smallest number of \epsilon-brackets in L^1(\mu) needed to cover
F. The following are equivalent:
1. F is a universal Glivenko-Cantelli class.
2. N_{[]}(F,\epsilon,\mu)<\infty for every \epsilon>0 and every
probability
measure \mu.
3. F is totally bounded in L^1(\mu) for every probability measure
\mu. 4. F does not contain a Boolean \sigma-independent sequence.
In particular, universal Glivenko-Cantelli classes are uniformity
classes for
general sequences of almost surely convergent random measures.

This is an announcement for the paper "Rate of decay of s-numbers"
by Timur Oikhberg.
Abstract: For an operator $T \in B(X,Y)$, we denote by $a_m(T)$,
$c_m(T)$, $d_m(T)$, and $t_m(T)$ its approximation, Gelfand, Kolmogorov,
and absolute numbers. We show that, for any infinite dimensional Banach
spaces $X$ and $Y$, and any sequence $\alpha_m \searrow 0$, there exists
$T \in B(X,Y)$ for which the inequality $$ 3 \alpha_{\lceil m/6 \rceil}
\geq a_m(T) \geq \max\{c_m(t), d_m(T)\} \geq \min\{c_m(t), d_m(T)\}
\geq t_m(T) \geq \alpha_m/9 $$ holds for every $m \in \N$. Similar
results are obtained for other $s$-scales.

This is an announcement for the paper "A thin-thick decomposition for
Hardy martingales" by Paul F. X. Mueller.
Abstract: We prove thin-thick decompositions, for the class
of Hardy martingales and thereby strengthen its square function
characterization. We apply the underlying method to several classical
martingale inequalities, for which we give new proofs .

This is an announcement for the paper "Subspace structure of some operator
and Banach spaces" by Timur Oikhberg and Christian Rosendal.
Abstract: We construct a family of separable Hilbertian operator spaces,
such that the relation of complete isomorphism between the subspaces of
each member of this family is complete $\ks$. We also investigate some
interesting properties of completely unconditional bases of the spaces
from this family. In the Banach space setting, we construct a space for
which the relation of isometry of subspaces is equivalent to equality
of real numbers.

This is an announcement for the paper "A note on Mahler's conjecture"
by Shlomo Reisner, Carsten Schutt and Elisabeth M. Werner.
Abstract: Let $K$ be a convex body in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with Santal\'o
point at $0$. We show that if $K$ has a point on the boundary with
positive generalized Gau{\ss} curvature, then the volume product $|K|
|K^\circ|$ is not minimal. This means that a body with minimal volume
product has Gau{\ss} curvature equal to $0$ almost everywhere and thus
suggests strongly that a minimal body is a polytope.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the existence of J-class
operators" by Amir Nasseri.
Abstract: In this note we answer in the negative the question raised by
G.Costakis and A.Manoussos, whether there exists a J-class operator on
every non-separable Banach space. In par- ticular we show that there
exists a non-separable Banach space constructed by A.Arvanitakis,
S.Argyros and A.Tolias such that the J-set of every operator on this
space has empty interior for each non-zero vector. On the other hand,
on non-separable spaces which are reflexive there always exist a J-class
operator.

Dear Colleagues,
The Department of Mathematics of the University of Missouri, Columbia, MO, is in the process of establishing a website in honor of Nigel Kalton, who passed away recently.
The website will consist of several parts. We hope to be able to post downloadable pdf files of his works, supply a list of his students and co-authors, indicate his editorial activity, establish a photo gallery, and comment on some of his other significant activities, such as playing chess. We also plan to have a section in which students, collaborators, and friends will be able to recall fond reminiscences and express their appreciation of Nigel.
Apart from alerting you to this activity, the purpose of this message is to solicit contributions you may be able to make to this Kalton Memorial Website, such as, photos, stories, reminiscences, etc.
Please send all material to
