This is an announcement for the paper "$R$-boundedness versus
$\gamma$-boundedness" by Stanislaw Kwapien, Mark Veraar, and Lutz Weis.
Abstract: It is well-known that in Banach spaces with finite cotype, the
$R$-bounded and $\gamma$-bounded families of operators coincide. If in
addition $X$ is a Banach lattice, then these notions can be expressed as
square function estimates. It is also clear that $R$-boundedness implies
$\gamma$-boundedness. In this note we show that all other possible
inclusions fail. Furthermore, we will prove that $R$-boundedness is stable
under taking adjoints if and only if the underlying space is $K$-convex.

This is an announcement for the paper "A continuum of $\mathrm{C}^*$-norms
on $\IB(H)\otimes \IB(H)$ and related tensor products" by Narutaka Ozawa
and Gilles Pisier.
Abstract: For any pair $M,N$ of von Neumann algebras such that
the algebraic tensor product $M\otimes N$ admits more than one
$\mathrm{C}^*$-norm, the cardinal of the set of $\mathrm{C}^*$-norms is
at least $ {2^{\aleph_0}}$. Moreover there is a family
with cardinality $ {2^{\aleph_0}}$ of injective tensor product functors
for $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras in Kirchberg's sense.
Let $\IB=\prod_n M_{n}$. We also show that, for any non-nuclear von
Neumann algebra $M\subset \IB(\ell_2)$, the set of $\mathrm{C}^*$-norms
on $\IB \otimes M$ has
cardinality equal to $2^{2^{\aleph_0}}$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Dual Orlicz-Brunn-Minkowski theory:
Orlicz $\varphi$-radial addition, Orlicz $L_{\phi}$-dual mixed volume
and related inequalities" by Deping Ye.
Abstract: This paper develops basic setting for the dual
Orlicz-Brunn-Minkowski theory for star bodies. An Orlicz $\varphi$-radial
addition of two or more star bodies is proposed and related dual
Orlicz-Brunn-Minkowski inequality is established. Based on a linear
Orlicz $\varphi$-radial addition of two star bodies, we derive a
formula for the Orlicz $L_{\phi}$-dual mixed volume. Moreover, a dual
Orlicz-Minkowski inequality for the Orlicz $L_{\phi}$-dual mixed volume,
a dual Orlicz isoperimetric inequality for the Orlicz $L_{\phi}$-dual
surface area and a dual Orlicz-Urysohn inequality for the Orlicz
$L_{\phi}$-harmonic mean radius are proved.

This is an announcement for the paper "Markov convexity and
nonembeddability of the Heisenberg group" by Sean Li.
Abstract: We compute the Markov convexity invariant of the continuous
Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}$ to show that it is Markov 4-convex and
cannot be Markov $p$-convex for any $p < 4$. As Markov convexity is a
biLipschitz invariant and Hilbert space is Markov 2-convex, this gives
a different proof of the classical theorem of Pansu and Semmes that
the Heisenberg group does not admit a biLipschitz embedding into any
Euclidean space.
The Markov convexity lower bound will follow from exhibiting an
explicit embedding of Laakso graphs $G_n$ into $\mathbb{H}$ that has
distortion at most $C n^{1/4} \sqrt{\log n}$. We use this to show that
if $X$ is a Markov $p$-convex metric space, then balls of the discrete
Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}(\mathbb{Z})$ of radius $n$ embed into
$X$ with distortion at least some constant multiple of $$\frac{(\log
n)^{\frac{1}{p}-\frac{1}{4}}}{\sqrt{\log \log n}}.$$ Finally, we show
somewhat unexpectedly that the optimal distortion of embeddings of binary
trees $B_m$ into the infinite dimensional Heisenberg group is on the
order of $\sqrt{\log m}$

This is an announcement for the paper "Intrinsic volumes of Sobolev balls"
by Zakhar Kabluchko and Dmitry Zaporozhets.
Abstract: A formula due to Sudakov relates the first intrinsic volume
of a convex set in a Hilbert space to the maximum of the isonormal
Gaussian process over this set. Using this formula we compute the first
intrinsic volumes of infinite-dimensional convex compact sets including
unit balls with respect to Sobolev-type seminorms and ellipsoids in the
Hilbert space. We relate the distribution of the random one-dimensional
projections of these sets to the distributions $S_1,S_2,C_1,C_2$
studied by Biane, Pitman, Yor [Bull. AMS 38 (2001)]. We show that
the $k$-th intrinsic volume of the set of all functions on $[0,1]$
which have Lipschitz constant bounded by $1$ and which vanish at
$0$ (respectively, which have vanishing integral) is given by $$
V_k = \frac{\pi^{k/2}}{\Gamma\left(\frac 32 k +1 \right)}, \text{
respectively } V_k = \frac{\pi^{(k+1)/2}}{2\Gamma\left(\frac 32 k
+\frac 32\right)}. $$ This is related to the results of Gao and Vitale
[Discrete Comput. Geom.} 26 (2001), Elect. Comm. Probab. 8 (2003)] who
considered a similar question for functions with a restriction on the
total variation instead of the Lipschitz constant. Using the results of
Gao and Vitale we give a new proof of the formula for the expected volume
of the convex hull of the $d$-dimensional Brownian motion which is due to
Eldan [Elect. J. Probab., to appear]. Additionally, we prove an analogue
of Eldan's result for the Brownian bridge. Similarly, we show that the
results on the intrinsic volumes of the Lipschitz balls can be translated
into formulae for the expected volumes of zonoids (Aumann integrals)
generated by the Brownian motion and the Brownian bridge. Our proofs
exploit Sudakov's and Tsirelson's theorems which establish a connection
between the intrinsic volumes and the isonormal Gaussian process.

This is an announcement for the paper "A simplicial polytope that
maximizes the isotropic constant must be a simplex" by Luis Rademacher.
Abstract: The isotropic constant $L_K$ is an affine-invariant measure of
the spread of a convex body $K$. For a $d$-dimensional convex body $K$,
$L_K$ can be defined by $L_K^{2d} = \det(A(K))/(\mathrm{vol}(K))^2$, where
$A(K)$ is the covariance matrix of the uniform distribution on $K$. It is
an outstanding open problem to find a tight asymptotic upper bound of the
isotropic constant as a function of the dimension. It has been conjectured
that there is a universal constant upper bound. The conjecture is known to
be true for several families of bodies, in particular, highly symmetric
bodies such as bodies having an unconditional basis. It is also known
that maximizers cannot be smooth.
In this work we study the gap between smooth bodies and highly symmetric
bodies by showing progress towards reducing to a highly symmetric case
among non-smooth bodies. More precisely, we study the set of maximizers
among simplicial polytopes and we show that if a simplicial $d$-polytope
$K$ is a maximizer of the isotropic constant among $d$-dimensional convex
bodies, then when $K$ is put in isotropic position it is symmetric around
any hyperplane spanned by a $(d-2)$-dimensional face and the origin. By
a result of Campi, Colesanti and Gronchi, this implies that a simplicial
polytope that maximizes the isotropic constant must be a simplex.

This is an announcement for the paper "Absolutely summing multilinear
operators via interpolation" by N. Albuquerque, D. Nunez-Alarcon,
J. Santos and D. M. Serrano-Rodriguez.
Abstract: We use an interpolative technique from \cite{abps} to introduce
the notion of multiple $N$-separately summing operators. Our approach
extends and unifies some recent results; for instance we recover the
best known estimates of the multilinear Bohnenblust-Hille constants
due to F. Bayart, D. Pellegrino and J. Seoane-Sep\'ulveda. More
precisely, as a consequence of our main result, for $1\leq t<2$
and $m\in \mathbb{N}$ we prove that $$ \left( \sum_{i_{1},\dots
,i_{m}=1}^{\infty }\left\vert U\left(e_{i_{1}},\dots ,e_{i_{m}}\right)
\right\vert^{\frac{2tm}{2+(m-1)t}}\right)^{\frac{2+(m-1)t}{2tm}}
\leq \left[\prod_{j=2}^{m}\Gamma \left( 2-\frac{2-t}{jt-2t+2}\right)
^{\frac{t(j-2)+2}{2t-2jt}}\right] \left\Vert U\right\Vert $$ for
all complex $m$-linear forms $U:c_{0}\times \cdot \cdot \cdot \times
c_{0}\rightarrow \mathbb{C}$.
