This is an announcement for the paper "Rate of convergence of random polarizations" by Almut Burchard. Abstract: After n random polarizations of Borel set on a sphere, its expected symmetric difference from a polar cap is bounded by C/n, where the constant depends on the dimension [arXiv:1104.4103]. We show here that this power law is best possible, and that the constant grows at least linearly with the dimension.

This is an announcement for the paper "Absorbing angles, Steiner minimal trees, and antipodality" by Horst Martini, Konrad J. Swanepoel, and P. Oloff de Wet. Abstract: We give a new proof that a star $\{op_i:i=1,\dots,k\}$ in a normed plane is a Steiner minimal tree of its vertices $\{o,p_1,\dots,p_k\}$ if and only if all angles formed by the edges at $o$ are absorbing [Swanepoel, Networks \textbf{36} (2000), 104--113]. The proof is more conceptual and simpler than the original one. We also find a new sufficient condition for higher-dimensional normed spaces to share this characterization. In particular, a star $\{op_i: i=1,\dots,k\}$ in any CL-space is a Steiner minimal tree of its vertices $\{o,p_1,\dots,p_k\}$ if and only if all angles are absorbing, which in turn holds if and only if all distances between the normalizations $\frac{1}{\|p_i\|}p_i$ equal $2$. CL-spaces include the mixed $\ell_1$ and $\ell_\infty$ sum of finitely many copies of $R^1$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Inner regularization of log-concave measures and small-ball estimates" by Boaz Klartag and Emanuel Milman. Authors: Bo'az Klartag and Emanuel Milman Abstract: In the study of concentration properties of isotropic log-concave measures, it is often useful to first ensure that the measure has super-Gaussian marginals. To this end, a standard preprocessing step is to convolve with a Gaussian measure, but this has the disadvantage of destroying small-ball information. We propose an alternative preprocessing step for making the measure seem super-Gaussian, at least up to reasonably high moments, which does not suffer from this caveat: namely, convolving the measure with a random orthogonal image of itself. As an application of this ``inner-thickening", we recover Paouris' small-ball estimates.

This is an announcement for the paper "Sharp isoperimetric inequalities and model spaces for curvature-dimension-diameter condition" by Emanuel Milman. Abstract: We obtain new sharp isoperimetric inequalities on a Riemannian manifold equipped with a probability measure, whose generalized Ricci curvature is bounded from below (possibly negatively), and generalized dimension and diameter of the convex support are bounded from above (possibly infinitely). Our inequalities are \emph{sharp} for sets of any given measure and with respect to all parameters (curvature, dimension and diameter). Moreover, for each choice of parameters, we identify the \emph{model spaces} which are extremal for the isoperimetric problem. In particular, we recover the Gromov--L\'evy and Bakry--Ledoux isoperimetric inequalities, which state that whenever the curvature is strictly \emph{positively} bounded from below, these model spaces are the $n$-sphere and Gauss space, corresponding to generalized dimension being $n$ and $\infty$, respectively. In all other cases, which seem new even for the classical Riemannian-volume measure, it turns out that there is no \emph{single} model space to compare to, and that a simultaneous comparison to a natural \emph{one parameter family} of model spaces is required, nevertheless yielding a sharp result.

This is an announcement for the paper "Geometry of integral polynomials, $M$-ideals and unique norm preserving extensions" by Veronica Dimant, Daniel Galicer and Ricardo Garcia. Abstract: We use the Aron-Berner extension to prove that the set of extreme points of the unit ball of the space of integral polynomials over a real Banach space $X$ is $\{\pm \phi^k: \phi \in X^*, \| \phi\|=1\}$. With this description we show that, for real Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$, if $X$ is a non trivial $M$-ideal in $Y$, then $\widehat\bigotimes^{k,s}_{\varepsilon_{k,s}} X$ (the $k$-th symmetric tensor product of $X$ endowed with the injective symmetric tensor norm) is \emph{never} an $M$-ideal in $\widehat\bigotimes^{k,s}_{\varepsilon_{k,s}} Y$. This result marks up a difference with the behavior of non-symmetric tensors since, when $X$ is an $M$-ideal in $Y$, it is known that $\widehat\bigotimes^k_{\varepsilon_k} X$ (the $k$-th tensor product of $X$ endowed with the injective tensor norm) is an $M$-ideal in $\widehat\bigotimes^k_{\varepsilon_k} Y$. Nevertheless, if $X$ is Asplund, we prove that every integral $k$-homogeneous polynomial in $X$ has a unique extension to $Y$ that preserves the integral norm. We explicitly describe this extension. We also give necessary and sufficient conditions (related with the continuity of the Aron-Berner extension morphism) for a fixed $k$-homogeneous polynomial $P$ belonging to a maximal polynomial ideal $\Q(^kX)$ to have a unique norm preserving extension to $\Q(^kX^{**})$. To this end, we study the relationship between the bidual of the symmetric tensor product of a Banach space and the symmetric tensor product of its bidual and show (in the presence of the BAP) that both spaces have `the same local structure'. Other applications to the metric and isomorphic theory of symmetric tensor products and polynomial ideals are also given.

This is an announcement for the paper "Noncommutative integral inequalities for convex functions of maximal functions and applications" by Turdebek N. Bekjan and Zeqian Chen. Abstract: In this paper, we establish a Marcinkiewicz type interpolation theorem for convex functions of maximal functions in the noncommutative setting. As applications, we prove the noncommutative analogue of the Doob inequality for convex functions of maximal functions on martingales, the analogue of the classical Dunford-Schwartz maximal ergodic inequality for convex functions of positive contractions, and that of Stein's maximal inequality for convex functions of symmetric positive contractions. As a consequence, we obtain the moment Burkholder-Davis-Gundy inequality for noncommutative martingales.

This is an announcement for the paper "Low-distortion embeddings of graphs with large girth" by Mikhail I. Ostrovskii. Abstract: The main purpose of the paper is to construct a sequence of graphs of constant degree with indefinitely growing girths admitting embeddings into $\ell_1$ with uniformly bounded distortions. This result answers the problem posed by N.~Linial, A.~Magen, and A.~Naor (2002).

This is an announcement for the paper "Approximation properties of locally convex spaces and the problem of uniqueness of the trace of a linear operator" by Grigory L. Litvinov. Abstract: In the present article, it is proved that every nuclear operator in a locally convex space E has a well-defined trace if E possesses the approximation property. However, even if a space possesses the approximation property this still does not guarantee a positive solution of A. Grothendieck's uniqueness problem for this space. Below, we present an example of a quasi-complete space with the approximation property in which it is not possible to define the trace for all Fredholm operators (in the sense of A. Grothendieck). We prove that the uniqueness problem has a positive solution if E possesses the "bounded approximation property." Preliminary information and results are presented in Section 2. A number of approximation-type properties of locally convex spaces and relations between these properties are considered in Section 3. The principal results of the present study, along with certain corollaries from these results (for example, the existence of a matrix trace), may be found in Section 4.
