This is an announcement for the paper "Lushness, numerical index 1 and
the Daugavet property in rearrangement invariant spaces" by Vladimir
Kadets, Miguel Martin, Javier Meri, and Dirk Werner.
Abstract: We show that for spaces with 1-unconditional bases lushness, the
alternative Daugavet property and numerical index~1 are equivalent. In
the class of rearrangement invariant (r.i.)\ sequence spaces the
only examples of spaces with these properties are $c_0$, $\ell_1$ and
$\ell_\infty$. The only lush r.i.\ separable function space on $[0,1]$
is $L_1[0,1]$; the same space is the only r.i.\ separable function space
on $[0,1]$ with the Daugavet property over the reals.

This is an announcement for the paper "Auerbach bases and minimal volume
sufficient enlargements" by Mikhail I. Ostrovskii.
Abstract: Let $B_Y$ denote the unit ball of a normed linear space $Y$. A
symmetric, bounded, closed, convex set $A$ in a finite dimensional normed
linear space $X$ is called a {\it sufficient enlargement} for $X$ if,
for an arbitrary isometric embedding of $X$ into a Banach space $Y$,
there exists a linear projection $P:Y\to X$ such that $P(B_Y)\subset
A$. Each finite dimensional normed space has a minimal-volume sufficient
enlargement which is a parallelepiped, some spaces have ``exotic''
minimal-volume sufficient enlargements. The main result of the paper is
a characterization of spaces having ``exotic'' minimal-volume sufficient
enlargements in terms of Auerbach bases.

This is an announcement for the paper "Embeddability of locally finite
metric spaces into Banach spaces is finitely determined" by Mikhail
I. Ostrovskii.
Abstract: The main purpose of the paper is to prove the following results:
Let $A$ be a locally finite metric space whose finite subsets admit uniformly
bilipschitz embeddings into a Banach space $X$. Then $A$ admits a
bilipschitz embedding into $X$.
Let $A$ be a locally finite metric space whose finite subsets admit uniformly
coarse embeddings into a Banach space $X$. Then $A$ admits a coarse
embedding into $X$.
These results generalize previously known results of the same type due to
Brown-Guentner (2005), Baudier (2007), Baudier-Lancien (2008), and the
author (2006, 2009).
One of the main steps in the proof is: each locally finite subset of an
ultraproduct $X^\mathcal{U}$ admits a bilipschitz embedding into $X$. We
explain how this result can be used to prove analogues of the main
results for other classes of embeddings.

This is an announcement for the paper "Geometry of log-concave
ensembles of random matrices and approximate reconstruction" by
Radoslaw Adamczak, Rafal Latala, Alexander E. Litvak, Alain Pajor,
and Nicole Tomczak-Jaegermann.
Abstract: We study the Restricted Isometry Property of a random matrix
$\Gamma$ with independent isotropic log-concave rows. To this end, we
introduce a parameter $\Gamma_{k,m}$ that controls uniformly the operator
norm of sub-matrices with $k$ rows and $m$ columns. This parameter is
estimated by means of new tail estimates of order statistics and deviation
inequalities for norms of projections of an isotropic log-concave vector.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the structure of non dentable
subsets of C({\omega}^{\omega}^k)" by Pericles D Pavlakos and Minos
Petrakis.
Abstract: It is shown that there is no K closed convex bounded
non-dentable subset of C({\omega}^{\omega} ^k) such that on the subsets
of K the PCP and the RNP are equivalent properties. Then applying
Schachermayer-Rosenthal theorem, we conclude that every non-dentable K
contains non-dentable subset L so that on L the weak topology coincides
with the norm one. It follows from known results that the RNP and the
KMP are equivalent properties on the subsets of C({\omega}^{\omega} ^k).

This is an announcement for the paper "A disintegration theorem" by
Marek Kosiek and Krzysztof Rudol.
Abstract: A new approach to disintegration of measures is presented,
allowing one to drop the usually taken separability assumption. The main
tool is a result on fibers in the spectrum of algebra of essentially
bounded functions established recently by the first-named author.

This is an announcement for the paper "Measurability in C(2^k) and Kunen
cardinals" by Antonio Aviles, Grzegorz Plebanek, and Jose Rodriguez.
Abstract: A cardinal k is called a Kunen cardinal if the sigma-algebra
on k x k generated by all products AxB, coincides with the power set
of k x k. For any cardinal k, let C(2^k) be the Banach space of all
continuous real-valued functions on the Cantor cube 2^k. We prove that k
is a Kunen cardinal if and only if the Baire sigma-algebra on C(2^k) for
the pointwise convergence topology coincides with the Borel sigma-algebra
on C(2^k) for the norm topology. Some other links between Kunen cardinals
and measurability in Banach spaces are also given.

This is an announcement for the paper "Approximate Gaussian isoperimetry
for k sets" by Gideon Schechtman.
Abstract: Given $2\le k\le n$, the minimal $(n-1)$-dimensional Gaussian
measure of the union of the boundaries of $k$ disjoint sets of equal
Gaussian measure in $\R^n$ whose union is $\R^n$ is of order $\sqrt{\log
k}$. A similar results holds also for partitions of the sphere $S^{n-1}$
into $k$ sets of equal Haar measure.

This is an announcement for the paper "Stabilizing isomorphisms from
$\ell_p(\ell_2)$ into $L_p[0,1]$" by Ran Levy and Gideon Schechtman.
Abstract: Let $1<p\not=2<\infty$, $\epsilon>0$ and let
$T:\ell_p(\ell_2)\overset{into}{\rightarrow}L_p[0,1]$ be an
isomorphism. Then there is a subspace $Y\subset \ell_p(\ell_2)$
$(1+\epsilon)$-isomorphic to $\ell_p(\ell_2)$ such that: $T_{|Y}$ is an
$(1+\epsilon)$-isomorphism and $T\left(Y\right)$ is $K_p$-complemented
in $L_p[0,1]$, with $K_p$ depending only on $p$. Moreover, $K_p\le
(1+\epsilon)\gamma_p$ if $p>2$ and $K_p\le (1+\epsilon)\gamma_{p/(p-1)}$
if $1<p<2$, where $\gamma_r$ is the $L_r$ norm of a standard Gaussian
variable.
