This is an announcement for the paper "H\"{o}lder's inequality: some
recent and unexpected applications" by N. Albuquerque, G. Araujo, and
D. Pellegrino.
Abstract:
H\"{o}lder's inequality, since its appearance in 1888, has played a
fundamental role in Mathematical Analysis and it is, without any
doubt, one of the milestones in Mathematics. It may seem strange
that, nowadays, it keeps resurfacing and bringing new insights to the
mathematical community. In this expository article we show how a variant
of H\"{o}lder's inequality (although well-known in PDEs) was essentially
overlooked in Functional Analysis and has had a crucial (and in some
sense unexpected) influence in very recent and major breakthroughs
in Mathematics. Some of these recent advances appeared in 2012-2014
and include the theory of Dirichlet series, the famous Bohr radius
problem, certain classical inequalities (such as Bohnenblust--Hille or
Hardy--Littlewood), or even Mathematical Physics.

This is an announcement for the paper "Networks for the weak topology
of Banach and Frechet spaces" by S. Gabriyelyan, J. Kcakol, W. Kubis,
and W. Marciszewski.
Abstract:
We start the systematic study of Fr\'{e}chet spaces which are
$\aleph$-spaces in the weak topology. A topological space $X$ is an
$\aleph_0$-space or an $\aleph$-space if $X$ has a countable $k$-network
or a $\sigma$-locally finite $k$-network, respectively. We are motivated
by the following result of Corson (1966): If the space $C_{c}(X)$
of continuous real-valued functions on a Tychonoff space $X$ endowed
with the compact-open topology is a Banach space, then $C_{c}(X)$
endowed with the weak topology is an $\aleph_0$-space if and only if
$X$ is countable. We extend Corson's result as follows: If the space
$E:=C_{c}(X)$ is a Fr\'echet lcs, then $E$ endowed with its weak topology
$\sigma(E,E')$ is an $\aleph$-space if and only if $(E,\sigma(E,E'))$
is an $\aleph_0$-space if and only if $X$ is countable. We obtain a
necessary and some sufficient conditions on a Fr\'echet lcs to be an
$\aleph$-space in the weak topology. We prove that a reflexive Fr\'echet
lcs $E$ in the weak topology $\sigma(E,E')$ is an $\aleph$-space if
and only if $(E,\sigma(E,E'))$ is an $\aleph_0$-space if and only if
$E$ is separable. We show however that the nonseparable Banach space
$\ell_{1}(\mathbb{R})$ with the weak topology is an $\aleph$-space.

This is an announcement for the paper "A note on dependence of families
having bounded variation" by Michael Megrelishvili.
Abstract:
We show that for arbitrary linearly ordered set $X$ any bounded
family of real valued functions on $X$ with bounded total variation
does not contain independent subsequences. As a corollary we generalize
Helly's sequential compactness theorem.

This is an announcement for the paper "Uniform-to-proper duality of
geometric properties of Banach spaces and their ultrapowers" by Jarno
Talponen.
Abstract:
In this note various geometric properties of a Banach space $X$ are
characterized by means of weaker corresponding geometric properties
involving an ultrapower $X^\mathcal{U}$. The characterizations do not
depend on the particular choice of the free ultrafilter $\mathcal{U}$. For
example, a point $x\in S_X$ is an MLUR point if and only if $j(x)$
(given by the canonical inclusion $j\colon X \to X^\mathcal{U}$) in
$\B_{X^\mathcal{U}}$ is an extreme point; a point $x\in S_X$ is LUR if
and only if $j(x)$ is not contained in any non-degenerate line segment
of $S_{X^\mathcal{U}}$; a Banach space $X$ is URED if and only if there
are no $x,y \in S_{X^\mathcal{U}}$, $x\neq y$, with $x-y \in j(X)$.

This is an announcement for the paper "The non-commutative Khintchine
inequalities for $0<p<1$" by Gilles Pisier and Eric Ricard.
Abstract:
We give a proof of the Khintchine inequalities in non-commutative
$L_p$-spaces for all $0< p<1$. These new inequalities are valid for the
Rademacher functions or Gaussian random variables, but also for more
general sequences, e.g. for the analogues of such random variables in
free probability. We also prove a factorization for operators from
a Hilbert space to a non commutative $L_p$-space, which is new for
$0<p<1$. We end by showing that Mazur maps are H\"older on semifinite
von Neumann algebras.

This is an announcement for the paper "Log-concavity properties of
Minkowski valuations" by Astrid Berg, Lukas Parapatits, Franz E. Schuster,
and Manuel Weberndorfer.
Abstract:
New Orlicz Brunn-Minkowski inequalities are established for rigid
motion compatible Minkowski valuations of arbitrary degree. These extend
classical log-concavity properties of intrinsic volumes and generalize
seminal results of Lutwak and others. Two different approaches which
refine previously employed techniques are explored. It is shown that
both lead to the same class of Minkowski valuations for which these
inequalities hold. An appendix by Semyon Alesker contains the proof of
a new classification of generalized translation invariant valuations.

This is an announcement for the paper "Randomized rounding for the
largest $j$-simplex problem" by Aleksandar Nikolov.
Abstract:
The maximum volume $j$-simplex problem asks to compute the
$j$-dimensional simplex of maximum volume inside the convex hull of
a given set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We give a deterministic
approximation algorithm for this problem which achieves an approximation
ratio of $e^{j/2 + o(j)}$. The problem is known to be $\mathsf{NP}$-hard
to approximate within a factor of $2^{cj}$ for some constant $c$. Our
algorithm also approximates the problem of finding the largest determinant
principal $j\times j$ submatrix of a rank $d$ positive semidefinite
matrix, with approximation ratio $e^{j + o(j)}$. We achieve our
approximation by rounding solutions to a generlization of the $D$-optimal
design problem, or, equivalently, the dual of an appropriate smallest
enclosing ellipsoid probelm. Our arguments give a short and simple proof
of a restricted invertibility principle for determinants.

Duke University Press partners with the Tusi Mathematical Research Group
to publish the Annals of Functional Analysis (AFA) and the Banach
Journal of Mathematical Analysis (BJMA). In 2015, Duke University Press
will begin publishing both journals.
AFA, started in 2010, and BJMA, started in 2007, are online-only
journals included in the prestigious "Reference List Journals" covered
by MathSciNet and indexed by Zentralblatt Math, Scopus and Thomson
Reuters (ISI).
With the start of their 2015 volumes under the guidance of strong
editorial boards, the journals will increase in frequency from two to
four issues per year. The journals publish research papers and critical
survey articles that focus on, but are not limited to, functional
analysis, abstract harmonic analysis and operator theory. AFA and BJMA
have rapidly established themselves as providing high-level scholarship
that addresses important questions in the study of mathematical
analysis. The journals are no longer open access but papers will be
freely available in Project Euclid 5 years after publication.
As before, they will be available on Project Euclid at
http://projecteuclid.org/euclid.bjma [1] and
http://projecteuclid.org/euclid.afa [2]
