This is an announcement for the paper "On quantitative Schur and Dunford-Pettis properties" by Ondrej F.K. Kalenda and Jiri Spurny. Abstract: We show that the dual to any subspace of $c_0(\Gamma)$ has the strongest possible quantitative version of the Schur property. Further, we establish relationship between the quantitative Schur property and quantitative versions of the Dunford-Pettis property. Finally, we apply these results to show, in particular, that any subspace of the space of compact operators on $\ell_p$ ($1<p<\infty$) with Dunford-Pettis property satisfies automatically both its quantitative versions.

This is an announcement for the paper "Steinhaus' lattice-point problem for Banach spaces" by Tomasz Kania and Tomasz Kochanek. Abstract: Given a positive integer $n$, one may find a circle surrounding exactly $n$ points of the integer lattice. This classical geometric fact due to Steinhaus has been recently extended to Hilbert spaces by Zwole\'{n}ski, who replaced the integer lattice by any infinite set which intersects every ball in at most finitely many points. We investigate the norms satisfying this property, which we call (S), and show that all strictly convex norms have (S). Nonetheless, we construct a norm in dimension three which has (S) but fails to be strictly convex. Furthermore, the problem of finding an equivalent norm enjoying (S) is studied. With the aid of measurable cardinals, we prove that there exists a Banach space having (S) but with no strictly convex renorming.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the analogue of the concavity of entropy power in the Brunn-Minkowski theory" by Matthieu Fradelizi and Arnaud Marsiglietti. Abstract: Elaborating on the similarity between the entropy power inequality and the Brunn-Minkowski inequality, Costa and Cover conjectured in {\it On the similarity of the entropy power inequality and the Brunn-Minkowski inequality} (IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory 30 (1984), no. 6, 837-839) the $\frac{1}{n}$-concavity of the outer parallel volume of measurable sets as an analogue of the concavity of entropy power. We investigate this conjecture and study its relationship with geometric inequalities.

This is an announcement for the paper "On dentability in locally convex vector spaces" by Oleg Reinov and Asfand Fahad. Abstract: For a locally convex vector space (l.c.v.s.) $E$ and an absolutely convex neighborhood $V$ of zero, a bounded subset $A$ of $E$ is said to be $V$-dentable (respectively, $V$-f-dentable) if for any $\epsilon>0$ there exists an $x\in A$ so that $$x\notin \overline{co} (A\setminus (x+\epsilon V)) $$ (respectively, so that $$ x\notin {co} (A\setminus (x+\epsilon V)) ). $$ Here, "$\overline{co}$" denotes the closure in $E$ of the convex hull of a set. We present a theorem which says that for a wide class of bounded subsets $B$ of locally convex vector spaces the following is true: $(V)$ every subset of $B$ is $V$-dentable if and only if every subset of $B$ is $V$-f-dentable. The proof is purely geometrical and independent of any related facts. As a consequence (in the particular case where $B$ is complete convex bounded metrizable subset of a l.c.v.s.), we obtain a positive solution to a 1978-hypothesis of Elias Saab (see p. 290 in "On the Radon-Nikodym property in a class of locally convex spaces", Pacific J. Math. 75, No. 1, 1978, 281-291).

This is an announcement for the paper "On metric characterizations of the Radon-Nikodym and related properties of Banach spaces" by Mikhail I. Ostrovskii. Abstract: We find a class of metric structures which do not admit bilipschitz embeddings into Banach spaces with the Radon-Nikod\'ym property. Our proof relies on Chatterji's (1968) martingale characterization of the RNP and does not use the Cheeger's (1999) metric differentiation theory. The class includes the infinite diamond and both Laakso (2000) spaces. We also show that for each of these structures there is a non-RNP Banach space which does not admit its bilipschitz embedding. We prove that a dual Banach space does not have the RNP if and only if it admits a bilipschitz embedding of the infinite diamond. The paper also contains related characterizations of reflexivity and the infinite tree property.

This is an announcement for the paper "Stability of the reverse Blaschke-Santalo inequality for unconditional convex bodies" by Jaegil Kim and Artem Zvavitch. Abstract: Mahler's conjecture asks whether the cube is a minimizer for the volume product of a body and its polar in the class of symmetric convex bodies in R^n. The corresponding inequality to the conjecture is sometimes called the the reverse Blaschke-Santalo inequality. The conjecture is known in dimension two and in several special cases. In the class of unconditional convex bodies, Saint Raymond confirmed the conjecture, and Meyer and Reisner, independently, characterized the equality case. In this paper we present a stability version of these results and also show that any symmetric convex body, which is sufficiently close to an unconditional body, satisfies the the reverse Blaschke-Santalo inequality.

This is an announcement for the paper "Extension property and complementation of isometric copies of continuous functions spaces" by Claudia Correa and Daniel V. Tausk. Abstract: In this article we prove that every isometric copy of C(L) in C(K) is complemented if L is compact Hausdorff of finite height and K is a compact Hausdorff space satisfying the extension property, i.e., every closed subset of K admits an extension operator. The space C(L) can be replaced by its subspace C(L|F) consisting of functions that vanish on a closed subset F of L. In particular, we obtain that every isometric copy of c_0(I) in C(K) is complemented, if K has the extension property. Finally, we study the class of spaces having the extension property, establishing some closure results for this class and relating it to other classes of compact spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "On positive embeddings of C(K) spaces" by Grzegorz Plebanek. Abstract: We investigate isomorphic embeddings $T: C(K)\to C(L)$ between Banach spaces of continuous functions. We show that if such an embedding $T$ is a positive operator then $K$ is an image of $L$ under a upper semicontinuous set-function having finite values. Moreover we show that $K$ has a $\pi$-base of sets which closures a continuous images of compact subspaces of $L$. Our results imply in particular that if $C(K)$ can be positively embedded into $C(L)$ then some topological properties of $L$, such as countable tightness of Frechetness, pass to the space $K$. We show that some arbitrary isomorphic embeddings $C(K)\to C(L)$ can be, in a sense, reduced to positive embeddings.
