It would be great if you could visit Kent State and participate in the seminar! The conference will have a registration fee of $200 WHICH INCLUDES: pick up/drop off from the airport, THREE DAY STAY in the Microtel hotel at Streetsboro, Saturday/Sunday lunches/dinners to be provided at the department. If you plan to stay fewer than 3 nights or prefer to make your own accommodation arrangements, please reduce your registration fee by $45 per day that you will not use our hotel arrangements. If possible, please send a check for your registration fee, made out to the Department of Mathematical Sciences, Kent State University. The check should be mailed to Virginia Wright, Department of Mathematical Sciences, Kent State University, Kent, OH, 44242. The fee can be also be paid during the registration (check/cash). The conference is supported by NSF; The Department of Mathematical Sciences and Kent State University.

This is an announcement for the paper "Some affine invariants revisited" by Alina Stancu. Abstract: We present several sharp inequalities for the $SL(n)$ invariant $\Omega_{2,n}(K)$ introduced in our earlier work on centro-affine invariants for smooth convex bodies containing the origin. A connection arose with the Paouris-Werner invariant $\Omega_K$ defined for convex bodies $K$ whose centroid is at the origin. We offer two alternative definitions for $\Omega_K$ when $K \in C^2_+$. The technique employed prompts us to conjecture that any $SL(n)$ invariant of convex bodies with continuous and positive centro-affine curvature function can be obtained as a limit of normalized $p$-affine surface areas of the convex body.

This is an announcement for the paper "Locally decodable codes and the failure of cotype for projective tensor products" by Jop Briet, Assaf Naor, and Oded Regev. Abstract: It is shown that for every $p\in (1,\infty)$ there exists a Banach space $X$ of finite cotype such that the projective tensor product $\ell_p\tp X$ fails to have finite cotype. More generally, if $p_1,p_2,p_3\in (1,\infty)$ satisfy $\frac{1}{p_1}+\frac{1}{p_2}+\frac{1}{p_3}\le 1$ then $\ell_{p_1}\tp\ell_{p_2}\tp\ell_{p_3}$ does not have finite cotype. This is a proved via a connection to the theory of locally decodable codes.

This is an announcement for the paper "Rotation equivariant Minkowski valuations" by Rolf Schneider and Franz E. Schuster. Abstract: The projection body operator \Pi, which associates with every convex body in Euclidean space Rn its projection body, is a continuous valuation, it is invariant under translations and equivariant under rotations. It is also well known that \Pi\ maps the set of polytopes in Rn into itself. We show that \Pi\ is the only non-trivial operator with these properties.

This is an announcement for the paper "The Steiner formula for Minkowski faluations" by Lukas Parapatits and Franz E. Schuster. Abstract: A Steiner type formula for continuous translation invariant Minkowski valuations is established. In combination with a recent result on the symmetry of rigid motion invariant homogeneous bivaluations, this new Steiner type formula is used to obtain a family of Brunn-Minkowski type inequalities for rigid motion intertwining Minkowski valuations.

This is an announcement for the paper "The Sine transform of isotropic measures" by Gabriel Maresch and Franz E. Schuster. Abstract: Sharp isoperimetric inequalities for the sine transform of even isotropic measures are established. The corresponding reverse inequalities are obtained in an asymptotically optimal form. These new inequalities have direct applications to strong volume estimates for convex bodies from data about their sections or projections.

This is an announcement for the paper "Convolutions and multiplier transformations of convex bodies" by Franz E. Schuster. Abstract: Rotation intertwining maps from the set of convex bodies in Rn into itself that are continuous linear operators with respect to Minkowski and Blaschke addition are investigated. The main focus is on Blaschke-Minkowski homomorphisms. We show that such maps are represented by a spherical convolution operator. An application of this representation is a complete classification of all even Blaschke-Minkowski homomorphisms which shows that these maps behave in many respects similar to the well known projection body operator. Among further applications is the following result: If an even Blaschke-Minkowski homomorphism maps a convex body to a polytope, then it is a constant multiple of the projection body operator.

This is an announcement for the paper "An arithmetic proof of John’s ellipsoid theorem" by Peter M. Gruber and Franz E. Schuster. Abstract: Using an idea of Voronoi in the geometric theory of positive definite quadratic forms, we give a transparent proof of John’s characterization of the unique ellipsoid of maximum volume contained in a convex body. The same idea applies to the ‘hard part’ of a generalization of John’s theorem and shows the difficulties of the corresponding ‘easy part’.
