This is an announcement for the paper "Intersection bodies with certain symmetries" by Susanna Dann. Abstract: We generalize the class of intersection bodies in $\R^n$ by imposing invariance under a certain subgroup of orthogonal transformations. We show that this class of bodies shares many properties with their real counterparts.

This is an announcement for the paper "Towards Banach space strong property (T) for SL(3,R)" by Mikael de la Salle. Abstract: We prove that SL(3,R) has strong property (T) in Lafforgue's sense with respect to the Banach spaces that are \theta>0 interpolation spaces (for the Lions-Calder\'on complex interpolation method) between an arbitrary Banach space and a Banach space with sufficiently good type and cotype. As a consequence, for such a Banach space X, SL(3,R) and its lattices have the fixed point property (F_X) of Bader--Furman--Gelander--Monod, and the expanders contructed from SL(3,Z) do not admit a coarse embedding into X. We also prove a quantitative decay of matrix coefficients (Howe-Moore property) for representations with small exponential growth of SL(3,R) on X. This class of Banach spaces contains the classical superreflexive spaces and some nonreflexive spaces as well. We see no obstruction for this class to be equal to all spaces with nontrivial type.

This is an announcement for the paper "Basic sequences and spaceability in $\ell_p$ spaces" by Daniel Cariello and Juan B. Seoane-Sepulveda. Abstract: Let $X$ be a sequence space and denote by $Z(X)$ the subset of $X$ formed by sequences having only a finite number of zero coordinates. We study algebraic properties of $Z(X)$ and show (among other results) that (for $p \in [1,\infty]$) $Z(\ell_p)$ does not contain infinite dimensional closed subspaces. This solves an open question originally posed by R. M. Aron and V. I. Gurariy in 2003 on the linear structure of $Z(\ell_\infty)$. In addition to this, we also give a thorough analysis of the existing algebraic structures within the set $X \setminus Z(X)$ and its algebraic genericity.

This is an announcement for the paper "The Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'as property for operators between spaces of continuous functions" by Maria Acosta, Julio Becerra, Yun Sung Choi, Maciej Ciesielski, Sun Kwang Kim, Han Ju Lee, and Miguel Martin. Abstract: We show that the space of bounded and linear operators between spaces of continuous functions on compact Hausdorff topological spaces has the Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'as property. A similar result is also proved for the class of compact operators from the space of continuous functions vanishing at infinity on a locally compact and Hausdorff topological space into a uniformly convex space, and for the class of compact operators from a Banach space into a predual of an $L_1$-space.

1st ANNOUNCEMENT OF SUMIRFAS 2013 The Informal Regional Functional Analysis Seminar August 2-4 Texas A&M University, College Station Schedule: Talks for SUMIRFAS will be posted on the Workshop in Analysis and Probability page, whose URL is http://www.math.tamu.edu/~kerr/workshop/ The first talk will be in the early afternoon on Friday and the Seminar concludes by lunch time on Sunday. All talks will be in Blocker 169. The Blocker Building is on Ireland St. just south of University Dr. on the Texas A&M campus: http://www.math.tamu.edu/contact/blocker.html. Coffee and refreshments will be available in Blocker 148. SUMIRFAS 2013 is dedicated to the memory of Ted Odell, who was one of the organizers of the UTAMIRFAS, the predecessor of SUMIRFAS. Ted served with distinction on the advisory board of the Workshop from its beginning until his untimely passing in January. The Plenary speakers at SUMIRFAS 2013 are Stephen Dilworth, Steve Jackson, Masoud Khalkhali, Thomas Schlumprecht, Nicole Tomczak-Jaegermann, and Wilhelm Winter. Other speakers include Tim Rainone, Paul Skoufranis, and John Williams. August 5-9 there will be a Concentration Week on "Dynamics, Geometry, and Operator Algebras", organized by David Kerr and Guoliang Yu. This Concentration Week aims to promote connections between nuclearity, nuclear dimension, group C*-algebras and crossed products, topological and measurable dynamics, algebraic dynamics, entropy, dimensional ideas from coarse geometry, and K-theory with applications to topology. The program will feature lecture series by David Kerr, Stuart White, and Rufus Willett. The URL for this Concentration Week is http://www.math.tamu.edu/~kerr/concweek13/ Immediately preceding SUMIRFAS, on August 1, there will be a celebration of "The Mathematical Legacy of Ted Odell", organized by Thomas Schlumprecht. The URL for this activity is http://math.slu.edu/~freeman/LegacyConference/ The Workshop is supported in part by grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF). Minorities, women, graduate students, and young researchers are especially encouraged to attend. For logistical support, including requests for support, please contact Cara Barton <cara(a)math.tamu.edu>. For more information on the Workshop itself, please contact William Johnson <johnson(a)math.tamu.edu>, David Kerr <kerr(a)math.tamu.edu>, or Gilles Pisier <pisier(a)math.tamu.edu>. For information about the Concentration Week on "Dynamics, Geometry, and Operator Algebras" contact David Kerr <kerr(a)math.tamu.edu>.
