Abstract of a paper by Cleon S. Barroso

This is an announcement for the paper "On the minimal space problem and a new result on existence of basic sequences in quasi-Banach spaces" by Cleon S. Barroso. Abstract: We prove that if $X$ is a quasi-normed space which possesses an infinite countable dimensional subspace with a separating dual, then it admits a strictly weaker Hausdorff vector topology. Such a topology is constructed explicitly. As an immediate consequence, we obtain an improvement of a well-known result of Kalton-Shapiro and Drewnowski by showing that a quasi-Banach space contains a basic sequence if and only if it contains an infinite countable dimensional subspace whose dual is separating. We also use this result to highlight a new feature of the minimal quasi-Banach space constructed by Kalton. Namely, which all of its $\aleph_0$-dimensional subspaces fail to have a separating family of continuous linear functionals.

This is an announcement for the paper "Discretization and affine approximation in high dimensions" by Sean Li and Assaf Naor. Abstract: Lower estimates are obtained for the macroscopic scale of affine approximability of vector-valued Lipschitz functions on finite dimensional normed spaces, completing the work of Bates, Johnson, Lindenstrass, Preiss and Schechtman. This yields a new approach to Bourgain's discretization theorem for superreflexive targets.

This is an announcement for the paper "Upper and lower estimates for Schauder frames and atomic decompositions" by Kevin Beanland, Daniel Freeman, and Rui Liu. Abstract: We prove that a Schauder frame for any separable Banach space is shrinking if and only if it has an associated space with a shrinking basis, and that a Schauder frame for any separable Banach space is shrinking and boundedly complete if and only if it has a reflexive associated space. To obtain these results, we prove that the upper and lower estimate theorems for finite dimensional decompositions of Banach spaces can be extended and modified to Schauder frames. We show as well that if a separable infinite dimensional Banach space has a Schauder frame, then it also has a Schauder frame which is not shrinking.

Abstract of a paper by Afonso S. Bandeira, Matthew Fickus, Dustin G. Mixon and Percy Wong

This is an announcement for the paper "The road to deterministic matrices with the restricted isometry property" by Afonso S. Bandeira, Matthew Fickus, Dustin G. Mixon and Percy Wong. Abstract: The restricted isometry property (RIP) is a well-known matrix condition that provides state-of-the-art reconstruction guarantees for compressed sensing. While random matrices are known to satisfy this property with high probability, deterministic constructions have found less success. In this paper, we consider various techniques for demonstrating RIP deterministically, some popular and some novel, and we evaluate their performance. In evaluating some techniques, we apply random matrix theory and inadvertently find a simple alternative proof that certain random matrices are RIP. Later, we propose a particular class of matrices as candidates for being RIP, namely, equiangular tight frames (ETFs). Using the known correspondence between real ETFs and strongly regular graphs, we investigate certain combinatorial implications of a real ETF being RIP. Specifically, we give probabilistic intuition for a new bound on the clique number of Paley graphs of prime order, and we conjecture that the corresponding ETFs are RIP in a manner similar to random matrices.

This is an announcement for the paper "A quantitative version of the commutator theorem for zero trace matrices" by William B. Johnson, Naratuka Ozawa, and Gideon Schechtman. Abstract: Let $A$ be a $m\times m$ complex matrix with zero trace and let $\e>0$. Then there are $m\times m$ matrices $B$ and $C$ such that $A=[B,C]$ and $\|B\|\|C\|\le K_\e m^\e\|A\|$ where $K_\e$ depends only on $\e$. Moreover, the matrix $B$ can be taken to be normal.

This is an announcement for the paper "A characterisation of inner product spaces by the maximal circumradius of spheres" by Sebastian Scholtes. Abstract: We will give a new characterisation of inner product spaces amongst normed vector spaces in terms of the maximal cirumradius of spheres. It will turn out that a normed vector space $(X,\norm{\cdot})$ with $\dim X\geq 2$ is an inner product space if and only if all spheres are not degenerate, i.e. the maximal circumradius of points on the sphere equals their radius.

This is an announcement for the paper "A conjecture of Godefroy concerning James' theorem" by Hermann Pfitzner. Abstract: In this note we look at the interdependences between James' theorem and the boundary problem. To do so we show a variant of James' sup-theorem for C(K)-spaces conjectured by Godefroy: in order to know that a bounded weakly closed subset of a C(K)- space is weakly compact it is enough to test the sup-attainment only for measures with countable support.

This is an announcement for the paper "Uchiyama's lemma and the John-Nirenberg inequality" by Greg Knese. Abstract: Using integral formulas based on Green's theorem and in particular a lemma of Uchiyama, we give simple proofs of comparisons of different BMO norms without using the John-Nirenberg inequality while we also give a simple proof of the strong John-Nirenberg inequality. Along the way we prove the inclusions of BMOA in the dual of H^1 and BMO in the dual of real H^1.
