This is an announcement for the paper "Isomorphic properties of
intersection bodies" by A. Koldobsky, G. Paouris and M. Zymonopoulou.
Abstract: We study isomorphic properties of two generalizations of
intersection bodies, the class of k-intersection bodies and the class
of generalized k-intersection bodies. We also show that the Banach-Mazur
distance of the k-intersection body of a convex body, when it exists and
it is convex, with the Euclidean ball, is bounded by a constant depending
only on k, generalizing a well-known result of Hensley and Borell. We
conclude by giving some volumetric estimates for k-intersection bodies.

This is an announcement for the paper "Bounded and unbounded
polynomials and multilinear forms: Characterizing continuity" by Jose
L. Gamez-Merino, Gustavo A. Munoz-Fernandez, Daniel Pellegrino and Juan
B. Seoane-Sepulveda.
Abstract: In this paper we prove a characterization of continuity for
polynomials on a normed space. Namely, we prove that a polynomial is
continuous if and only if it maps compact sets into compact sets. We also
provide a partial answer to the question as to whether a polynomial is
continuous if and only if it transforms connected sets into connected
sets. These results motivate the natural question as to how many
non-continuous polynomials there are on an infinite dimensional normed
space. A problem on the \emph{lineability} of the sets of non-continuous
polynomials and multilinear mappings on infinite dimensional normed
spaces is answered.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the axiomatization of convex
subsets of Banach spaces" by Valerio Capraro, Tobias Fritz.
Abstract: We prove that any convex-like structure in the sense of
Nate Brown is affinely and isometrically isomorphic to a closed convex
subset of a Banach space. This answers an open question of Brown. As an
intermediate step, we identify Brown's algebraic axioms as equivalent
to certain well-known axioms of abstract convexity.

This is an announcement for the paper "Renyi Divergence and $L_p$-affine
surface area for convex bodies" by Elisabeth M. Werner.
Abstract: We show that the fundamental objects of the
$L_p$-Brunn-Minkowski theory, namely the $L_p$-affine surface areas
for a convex body, are closely related to information theory: they are
exponentials of R\'enyi divergences of the cone measures of a convex
body and its polar.
We give geometric interpretations for all R\'enyi divergences
$D_\alpha$, not just for the previously treated special case of relative
entropy which is the case $\alpha =1$. Now, no symmetry assumptions are
needed and, if at all, only very weak regularity assumptions are required.
Previously, the relative entropies appeared only after performing second
order expansions of certain expressions. Now already first order
expansions makes them appear. Thus, in the new approach we detect
``faster" details about the boundary of a convex body.

This is an announcement for the paper "Perturbations of isometries
between Banach spaces" by Rafal Gorak.
Abstract: We prove a very general theorem concerning the estimation
of the expression \mbox{$\|T(\frac{a+b}{2}) - \frac{Ta+Tb}{2}\|$}
for different kinds of maps $T$ satisfying some general perurbated
isometry condition. It can be seen as a quantitative generalization of the
classical Mazur-Ulam theorem. The estimates improve the existing ones for
bi-Lipschitz maps. As a consequence we also obtain a very simple proof of
the result of Gevirtz which answers the Hyers-Ulam problem and we prove
a non-linear generalization of the Banach-Stone theorem which improves
the results of Jarosz and more recent results of Dutrieux and Kalton.

This is an announcement for the paper "Condensation rank of injective
Banach spaces" by Majid Gazor.
Abstract: The condensation rank associates any topological space with
a unique ordinal number. In this paper we prove that the condensation
rank of any infinite dimensional injective Banach space is equal to or
greater than the first uncountable ordinal number.

This is an announcement for the paper "Banach spaces without minimal
subspaces - examples" by Valentin Ferenczi and Christian Rosendal.
Abstract: We analyse several examples of separable Banach spaces, some of
them new, and relate them to several dichotomies obtained in the previous
paper spaces without minimal subspaces of the dichotomies they fall. This
paper may be seen as a more empirical continuation of is on the study
of examples for the new classes of Banach spaces considered in that work.
