14 Jan '13

There will be "A Celebration of The Life of Ted Odell" on Saturday January 19th at 3:30pm on campus in the Main Tower (Room number MAI 212). Following the celebration, Ted's family have invited people to attend a buffet reception starting at 6pm at The Green Pastures. So that the family can get a rough idea of the number of people, if you think that you (and your guests) will attend the reception please email Linda Porras with the number (lind(a)math.utexas.edu) Thanks.

This is an announcement for the paper "Fremlin tensor products of concavifications of Banach lattices" by Vladimir G. Troitsky and Omid Zabeti. Abstract: Suppose that $E$ is a uniformly complete vector lattice and $p_1, \ldots , p_n$ are positive reals. We prove that the diagonal of the Fremlin projective tensor product of $E_(p_1), \ldots ,E_(p_n)$ can be identified with $E_(p)$ where $p = p_1+\ldots+p_n$ and $E_(p)$ stands for the $p$-concavification of $E$. We also provide a variant of this result for Banach lattices. This extends the main result of [BBPTT]. Archive classification: math.FA Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary: 46B42.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the Bishop-Phelps-Bollobas property for numerical radius in C(K)-spaces" by Antonio Aviles, Antonio J. Guirao, Jose Rodriguez. Abstract: We study the Bishop-Phelps-Bollobas property for numerical radius within the framework of C(K) spaces. We present several sufficient conditions on a compact space K ensuring that C(K) has the Bishop-Phelps-Bollobas property for numerical radius. In particular, we show that C(K) has such property whenever K is metrizable.

This is an announcement for the paper "Estimation of the Szlenk index of Banach spaces via Schreier spaces" by Ryan Causey. Abstract: For each ordinal $\alpha<\omega_1$, we prove the existence of a space with a basis and Szlenk index $\omega^{\alpha+1}$ which is universal for the class of spaces with Szlenk index not exceeding $\omega^\alpha$. Our proof involves developing a characterization of which Banach spaces embed into spaces with an FDD with upper Schreier space estimates.
