This is an announcement for the paper "The geometry of p-convex
intersection bodies" by Jaegil Kim, Vladyslav Yaskin and Artem Zvavitch.
Abstract: Busemann's theorem states that the intersection body of an
origin-symmetric convex body is also convex. In this paper we provide
a version of Busemann's theorem for p-convex bodies. We show that
the intersection body of a p-convex body is q-convex for certain
q. Furthermore, we discuss the sharpness of the previous result by
constructing an appropriate example. This example is also used to show
that IK, the intersection body of K, can be much farther away from the
Euclidean ball than K. Finally, we extend these theorems to some general
measure spaces with log-concave and $s$-concave measures

This is an announcement for the paper "Sets of unit vectors with small
pairwise sums" by Konrad J. Swanepoel.
Abstract: We study the sizes of delta-additive sets of unit vectors
in a d-dimensional normed space: the sum of any two vectors has norm
at most delta. One-additive sets originate in finding upper bounds of
vertex degrees of Steiner Minimum Trees in finite dimensional smooth
normed spaces (Z. F\"uredi, J. C. Lagarias, F. Morgan, 1991). We show
that the maximum size of a delta-additive set over all normed spaces
of dimension d grows exponentially in d for fixed delta>2/3, stays
bounded for delta<2/3, and grows linearly at the threshold delta=2/3.
Furthermore, the maximum size of a 2/3-additive set in d-dimensional
normed space has the sharp upper bound of d, with the single exception
of spaces isometric to three-dimensional l^1 space, where there exists
a 2/3-additive set of four unit vectors.

This is an announcement for the paper "A characterization of inner
product spaces related to the p-angular distance" by F. Dadipour and
M. S. Moslehian.
Abstract: In this paper we present a new characterization of inner product
spaces related to the p-angular distance. We also generalize some results
due to Dunkl, Williams, Kirk, Smiley and Al-Rashed by using the notion
of p-angular distance.

concludes by lunch time on Sunday. All talks will be in Blocker 169. The
Blocker Building is on Ireland St. just south of University Dr. on the
Texas A&M campus:

Florent Baudier, On various geometric properties of metric spaces
Ionut Chifan, Von Neumann algebras with unique group measure space Cartan
subalgebras
Ken Davidson, Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation and factorization of
functionals

Michael Anshelevich (chair), Jinho Baik, and Roland Speicher are
organizing
a Concentration Week on "Orthogonal Polynomials in Probability Theory" for
the week of July 6-10. The theme of this Concentration Week is orthogonal
polynomial techniques in probability theory, especially in the study of
random matrices, free probability, and multiple stochastic integrals. Baik
and Speicher will give mini-courses designed to introduce non specialists
to these topics. The home page for this Concentration Week is at
http://www.math.tamu.edu/~manshel/OPPT/main.html
Ilijas Farah and David Kerr (chair) are organizing a Concentration Week
on "Set Theory and Functional Analysis" for the week of July 26-30. The
broad theme will be recent applications of set theory in functional
analysis, with emphasis on combinatorial phenomena and classifiability
problems in operator algebras, dynamics, and Banach space theory. The
program will include lecture series by Christian Rosendal, David Sherman,
and Todor Tsankov. The home page for this Concentration Week is at
http://www.math.tamu.edu/~kerr/concweek10/index.html
We expect to be able to cover housing for most participants from support
the
National Science Foundation has provided for the Workshop. Preference will
be
given to participants who do not have other sources of support, such as
sponsored
research grants. When you ask Cara to book your room, please tell her if
you are requesting support. Minorities, women, graduate students, and
young
researchers are especially encouraged to apply.
The Workshop is supported in part by grants from the National Science
Foundation (NSF). Minorities, women, graduate students, and young
researchers are especially encouraged to attend.
