This is an announcement for the paper "Spaces of small metric cotype"
by Ellen Veomett and Kevin Wildrick.
Abstract: Naor and Mendel's metric cotype extends the notion of the
Rademacher cotype of a Banach space to all metric spaces. Every Banach
space has metric cotype at least 2. We show that any metric space that
is bi-Lipschitz equivalent to an ultrametric space has infinimal metric
cotype 1. We discuss the invariance of metric cotype inequalities under
snowflaking mappings and Gromov-Hausdorff limits, and use these facts
to establish a partial converse of the main result.

This is an announcement for the paper "Khinchin inequality and Banach-Saks
type properties in rearrangement-invariant spaces" by F. Sukochev
and D. Zanin.
Abstract: \begin{abstract} {\it We study the class of all
rearrangement-invariant (=r.i.)
function spaces $E$ on $[0,1]$ such that there exists $0<q<1$ for
which $
\Vert \sum_{_{k=1}}^n\xi_k\Vert _{E}\leq Cn^{q}$, where $\{\xi_k\}_{k\ge
1}\subset E$ is an arbitrary sequence of independent identically
distributed symmetric random variables on $[0,1]$ and $C>0$ does not
depend on $n$. We completely characterize all Lorentz spaces having this
property and complement classical results of Rodin and Semenov for Orlicz
spaces $exp(L_p)$, $p\ge 1$. We further apply our results to the study
of Banach-Saks index sets in r.i. spaces. \end{abstract}

This is an announcement for the paper "The geometry of L^p-spaces over
atomless measure spaces and the Daugavet property" by Enrique A. Sanchez
Perez and Dirk Werner.
Abstract: We show that $L^p$-spaces over atomless measure spaces can be
characterized in terms of a $p$-concavity type geometric property that
is related with the Daugavet property.

This is an announcement for the paper "A bicommutant theorem for dual
Banach algebras" by Matthew Daws.
Abstract: A dual Banach algebra is a Banach algebra which is a dual space,
with the multiplication being separately weak$^*$-continuous. We show that
given a unital dual Banach algebra $\mc A$, we can find a reflexive Banach
space $E$, and an isometric, weak$^*$-weak$^*$-continuous homomorphism
$\pi:\mc A\to\mc B(E)$ such that $\pi(\mc A)$ equals its own bicommutant.
