This is an announcement for the paper "Remarks on Gurarii spaces" by
Joanna Garbulinska and Wiesaw Kubis.
Abstract: We present selected known results and some of their
improvements, involving Gurarii spaces. A Banach space is Gurarii
if it has certain natural extension property for almost isometric
embeddings of finite-dimensional spaces. Deleting the word ``almost",
we get the notion of a strong Gurarii space. There exists a unique
(up to isometry) separable Gurarii space, however strong Gurarii spaces
cannot be separable. The structure of the class of non-separable Gurarii
spaces seems to be not very well understood. We discuss some of their
properties and state some open questions. In particular, we characterize
non-separable Gurarii spaces in terms of skeletons of separable subspaces,
we construct a non-separable Gurarii space with a projectional resolution
of the identity and we show that no strong Gurarii space can be weakly
Lindel\"of determined.

This is an announcement for the paper "Existence of isoperimetric regions
in $\R^n$ with density" by Frank Morgan and Aldo Pratelli.
Abstract: We prove the existence of isoperimetric regions in $\R^n$ with
density under various hypotheses on the growth of the density. Along
the way we prove results on the boundedness of isoperimetric regions.

This is an announcement for the paper "Positional graphs and conditional
structure of weakly null sequences" by J. Lopez-Abad and S. Todorcevic.
Abstract: We prove that, unless assuming additional set theoretical
axioms, there are no reflexive space without unconditional sequences
of density the continuum. We give for every integer $n$ there are
normalized weakly-null sequences of length $\om_n$ without unconditional
subsequences. This together with a result of \cite{Do-Lo-To} shows that
$\om_\omega$ is the minimal cardinal $\kappa$ that could possibly have
the property that every weakly null $\kappa$-sequence has an infinite
unconditional basic subsequence . We also prove that for every cardinal
number $\ka$ which is smaller than the first $\om$-Erd\"os cardinal there
is a normalized weakly-null sequence without subsymmetric subsequences.
Finally, we prove that mixed Tsirelson spaces of uncountable densities
must always contain isomorphic copies of either $c_0$ or $\ell_p$,
with $p\ge 1$.

This is an announcement for the paper "On spaces admitting no $\ell_p$
or $c_0$ spreading model" by Spiros A. Argyros and Kevin Beanland.
Abstract: It is shown that for each separable Banach space $X$ not
admitting $\ell_1$ as a spreading model there is a space $Y$ having $X$
as a quotient and not admitting any $\ell_p$ for $1 \leq p < \infty$
or $c_0$ as a spreading model.
We also include the solution to a question of W.B. Johnson and
H.P. Rosenthal on the existence of a separable space not admitting as
a quotient any space with separable dual.
