This is an announcement for the paper "Constructing non-compact operators
into $c_0$" by Iryna Banakh and Taras Banakh.
Abstract: We prove that for each dense non-compact linear operator
$S:X\to Y$ between Banach spaces there is a linear operator $T:Y\to c_0$
such that the operator $TS:X\to c_0$ is not compact. This generalizes
the Josefson-Nissenzweig Theorem.

This is an announcement for the paper "Noncompactness and noncompleteness
in isometries of Lipschitz spaces" by Jesus Araujo and Luis Dubarbie.
Abstract: We solve the following two questions concerning
surjective linear isometries between spaces of Lipschitz functions
$\mathrm{Lip}(X,E)$ and $\mathrm{Lip}(Y,F)$, for strictly convex normed
spaces $E$ and $F$ and metric spaces $X$ and $Y$:
\begin{enumerate} \item Characterize those base spaces $X$ and $Y$
for which all isometries are
weighted composition maps.
\item Give a condition independent of base spaces under which all
isometries
are weighted composition maps.
\end{enumerate} In particular, we prove that requirements of
completeness on $X$ and $Y$ are
not necessary when $E$ and $F$ are not complete, which is in sharp
contrast with results known in the scalar context. We also give the
special form of this kind of isometries.

This is an announcement for the paper "Fractional generalizations of
Young and Brunn-Minkowski inequalities" by Sergey Bobkov, Mokshay Madiman,
and Liyao Wang.
Abstract: A generalization of Young's inequality for convolution
with sharp constant is conjectured for scenarios where more than two
functions are being convolved, and it is proven for certain parameter
ranges. The conjecture would provide a unified proof of recent entropy
power inequalities of Barron and Madiman, as well as of a (conjectured)
generalization of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality. It is shown that
the generalized Brunn-Minkowski conjecture is true for convex sets;
an application of this to the law of large numbers for random sets
is described.

Abstract: Let $X$ and $Y$ be separable Banach spaces and $T:X\to Y$
be a bounded linear operator. We characterize the non-separability of
$T^*(Y^*)$ by means of fixing properties of the operator $T$.

This is an announcement for the paper "On strictly singular operators
between separable Banach spaces" by Kevin Beanland and Pandelis Dodos.
Abstract: Let $X$ and $Y$ be separable Banach spaces and denote
by $\sss\sss(X,Y)$ the subset of $\llll(X,Y)$ consisting of all
strictly singular operators. We study various ordinal ranks on the set
$\sss\sss(X,Y)$. Our main results are summarized as follows. Firstly,
we define a new rank $\rs$ on $\sss\sss(X,Y)$. We show that $\rs$ is
a co-analytic rank and that dominates the rank $\varrho$ introduced by
Androulakis, Dodos, Sirotkin and Troitsky [Israel J. Math., 169 (2009),
221-250]. Secondly, for every $1\leq p<+\infty$ we construct a Banach
space $Y_p$ with an unconditional basis such that $\sss\sss(\ell_p,
Y_p)$ is a co-analytic non-Borel subset of $\llll(\ell_p,Y_p)$ yet every
strictly singular operator $T:\ell_p\to Y_p$ satisfies $\varrho(T)\leq
2$. This answers a question of Argyros.

is a quotient of $Y$.

This is an announcement for the paper "The rate of convergence in the
method of alternating projections" by Catalin Badea, Sophie Grivaux and
Vladimir Muller.
Abstract: A generalization of the cosine of the Friedrichs angle between
two subspaces to a parameter associated to several closed subspaces of
a Hilbert space is given. This parameter is used to analyze the rate of
convergence in the von Neumann-Halperin method of cyclic alternating
projections. General dichotomy theorems are proved, in the Hilbert or
Banach space situation, providing conditions under which the alternative
QUC/ASC (quick uniform convergence versus arbitrarily slow convergence)
holds. Several meanings for ASC are proposed.

This is an announcement for the paper "Geometric, spectral and asymptotic
properties of averaged products of projections in Banach spaces"
by Catalin Badea and Yuri I. Lyubich.
Abstract: According to the von Neumann-Halperin and Lapidus theorems,
in a Hilbert space the iterates of products or, respectively, of convex
combinations of orthoprojections are strongly convergent. We extend
these results to the iterates of convex combinations of products of some
projections in a complex Banach space. The latter is assumed uniformly
convex or uniformly smooth for the orthoprojections, or reflexive for
more special projections, in particular, for the hermitian ones. In all
cases the proof of convergence is based on a known criterion in terms
of the boundary spectrum.
