This is an announcement for the paper "Norm attaining operators and pseudospectrum" by Stanislav Shkarin. Abstract: It is shown that if $1<p<\infty$ and $X$ is a subspace or a quotient of an $\ell_p$-direct sum of finite dimensional Banach spaces, then for any compact operator $T$ on $X$ such that $\|I+T\|>1$, the operator $I+T$ attains its norm. A reflexive Banach space $X$ and a bounded rank one operator $T$ on $X$ are constructed such that $\|I+T\|>1$ and $I+T$ does not attain its norm.

This is an announcement for the paper "Martingale inequalities and operator space structures on $L_p$" by Gilles Pisier. Abstract: We describe a new operator space structure on $L_p$ when $p$ is an even integer and compare it with the one introduced in our previous work using complex interpolation. For the new structure, the Khintchine inequalities and Burkholder's martingale inequalities have a very natural form:\ the span of the Rademacher functions is completely isomorphic to the operator Hilbert space $OH$, and the square function of a martingale difference sequence $d_n$ is $\Sigma \ d_n\otimes \bar d_n$. Various inequalities from harmonic analysis are also considered in the same operator valued framework. Moreover, the new operator space structure also makes sense for non commutative $L_p$-spaces with analogous results.

This is an announcement for the paper "Asymptotic geometry of Banach spaces and uniform quotient maps" by S. J. Dilworth, Denka Kutzarova, G. Lancien, and N. L. Randrianarivony. Abstract: Recently, Lima and Randrianarivony pointed out the role of the property $(\beta)$ of Rolewicz in nonlinear quotient problems, and answered a ten-year-old question of Bates, Johnson, Lindenstrauss, Preiss and Schechtman. In the present paper, we prove that the modulus of asymptotic uniform smoothness of the range space of a uniform quotient map can be compared with the modulus of $(\beta)$ of the domain space. We also provide conditions under which this comparison can be improved.

This is an announcement for the paper "On uniform continuity of convex bodies with respect to measures in Banach spaces" by Anatolij Plichko. Abstract: Let $\mu$ be a probability measure on a separable Banach space $X$. A subset $U\subset X$ is $\mu$-continuous if $\mu(\partial U)=0$. In the paper the $\mu$-continuity and uniform $\mu$-continuity of convex bodies in $X$, especially of balls and half-spaces, is considered. The $\mu$-continuity is interesting for study of the Glivenko-Cantelli theorem in Banach spaces. Answer to a question of F.~Tops{\o}e is given.

This is an announcement for the paper "A note on the polynomial Bohnenblust-Hille inequality" by Daniel Nunez-Alarcon. Abstract: Recently, in paper published in the Annals of Mathematics, it was shown that the Bohnenblust-Hille inequality for (complex) homogeneous polynomials is hypercontractive. However, and to the best of our knowledge, there is no result providing (nontrivial) lower bounds for the optimal constants for n-homogeneous polynomials (n > 2). In this short note we provide lower bounds for these famous constants.

This is an announcement for the paper "Markov type and threshold embeddings" by Jian Ding, James R. Lee, and Yuval Peres. Abstract: For two metric spaces $X$ and $Y$, say that $X$ {\em threshold-embeds into $Y$} if there exist a number $K > 0$ and a family of Lipschitz maps $\{\varphi_{\tau} : X \to Y : \tau > 0 \}$ such that for every $x,y \in X$, $$ d_X(x,y) \geq \tau \implies d_Y(\varphi_{\tau}(x),\varphi_{\tau}(y)) \geq \|\varphi_{\tau}\|_{\Lip} \tau/K\,, $$ where $\|\varphi_{\tau}\|_{\Lip}$ denotes the Lipschitz constant of $\varphi_{\tau}$. We show that if a metric space $X$ threshold-embeds into a Hilbert space, then $X$ has Markov type 2. As a consequence, planar graph metrics and doubling metrics have Markov type 2, answering questions of Naor, Peres, Schramm, and Sheffield. More generally, if a metric space $X$ threshold-embeds into a $p$-uniformly smooth Banach space, then $X$ has Markov type $p$. The preceding result, together with Kwapien's theorem, is used to show that if a Banach space threshold-embeds into a Hilbert space then it is linearly isomorphic to a Hilbert space. This suggests some non-linear analogs of Kwapien's theorem. For instance, a subset $X \subseteq L_1$ threshold-embeds into Hilbert space if and only if $X$ has Markov type 2.

This is an announcement for the paper "Independent families in Boolean algebras with some separation" by Piotr Koszmider and Saharon Shelah. Abstract: We prove that any Boolean algebra with the subsequential completeness property contains an independent family of size continuum. This improves a result of Argyros from the 80ties which asserted the existence of an uncountable independent family. In fact we prove it for a bigger class of Boolean algebras satisfying much weaker properties. It follows that the Stone spaces of all such Boolean algebras contains a copy of the Cech-Stone compactification of the integers and the Banach space of contnuous functions on them has $l_\infty$ as a quotient. Connections with the Grothendieck property in Banach spaces are discussed.

This is an announcement for the paper "Almost disjoint families of countable sets and separable properties" by Jesus Ferrer, Piotr Koszmider, and Wieslaw Kubis. Abstract: We study the separable complementation property (SCP) and its natural variations in Banach spaces of continuous functions over compacta $K_{\mathcal A}$ induced by almost disjoint families ${\mathcal A}$ of countable subsets of uncountable sets. For these spaces, we prove among others that $C(K_{\mathcal A})$ has the controlled variant of the separable complementation property if and only if $C(K_{\mathcal A})$ is Lindel\"of in the weak topology if and only if $K_{\mathcal A}$ is monolithic. We give an example of ${\mathcal A}$ for which $C(K_{\mathcal A})$ has the SCP, while $K_{\mathcal A}$ is not monolithic and an example of a space $C(K_{\mathcal A})$ with controlled and continuous SCP which has neither a projectional skeleton nor a projectional resolution of the identity. Finally, we describe the structure of almost disjoint families of cardinality $\omega_1$ which induce monolithic spaces of the form $K_{ \mathcal A}$: They can be obtained from countably many ladder systems and pairwise disjoint families applying simple operations.

This is an announcement for the paper "Every operator has almost-invariant subspaces" by Alexey I. Popov and Adi Tcaciuc. Abstract: We show that any bounded operator $T$ on a separable, reflexive, infinite-dimensional Banach space $X$ admits a rank one perturbation which has an invariant subspace of infinite dimension and codimension. In the non-reflexive spaces, we show that the same is true for operators which have non-eigenvalues in the boundary of their spectrum. In the Hilbert space, our methods produce perturbations that are also small in norm, improving on an old result of Brown and Pearcy.

This is an announcement for the paper "A note on the continuous self-maps of the ladder system space" by Claudia Correa and Daniel V. Tausk. Abstract: We give a partial characterization of the continuous self-maps of the ladder system space K_S. Our results show that K_S is highly nonrigid. We also discuss reasonable notions of "few operators" for spaces C(K) with scattered K and we show that C(K_S) does not have few operators for such notions.
