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 "Free spaces over countable compact
metric spaces" by Aude Dalet.
Abstract: We prove that the Lipschitz-free space over a countable
compact metric space is isometric to a dual space and has the metric
approximation property.

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.

itself, please contact William Johnson <johnson(a)math.tamu.edu>, David Kerr
