This is an announcement for the paper "The spectrum of operators on C(K) with the Grothendieck Property and characterization of J-class operators which are adjoints" by Amir Bahman Nasseri. Abstract: This article deals with properties of spectra of operators on C(K)-spaces with the Grothendieck property (e.g. l^{\infty}) and application to so called J-class operators introduced by A. Manoussos and G. Costakis. We will show that C(K) has the Grothendieck property if and only if the boundary of the spectrum of every operator on C(K) consists entirely of eigenvalues of its adjoint. As a consequence we will see that there does not exist invertible J-class operators on C(K) with the Grothendieck property. In the third section we will give a quantitative and qualitative characterization of all J-class operators on l^{\infty} which are adjoints from operators on l^1.

This is an announcement for the paper "Connections between metric characterizations of superreflexivity and Radon-Nikod\'ym property for dual Banach spaces" by Mikhail I. Ostrovskii. Abstract: Johnson and Schechtman (2009) characterized superreflexivity in terms of finite diamond graphs. The present author characterized the Radon-Nikod\'ym property (RNP) for dual spaces in terms of the infinite diamond. This paper is devoted to further study of relations between metric characterizations of superreflexivity and the RNP for dual spaces. The main result is that finite subsets of any set $M$ whose embeddability characterizes the RNP for dual spaces, characterize superreflexivity. It is also observed that the converse statement does not hold, and that $M=\ell_2$ is a counterexample.

This is an announcement for the paper "Quantification of the Banach-Saks property" by Hana Bendova, Ondrej F.K. Kalenda and Jiri Spurny. Abstract: We investigate possible quantifications of the Banach-Saks property and the weak Banach-Saks property. We prove quantitative versions of relationships of the Banach-Saks property of a set with norm compactness and weak compactness. We further establish a quantitative version of the characterization of the weak Banach-Saks property of a set using uniform weak convergence and $\ell_1$-spreading models. We also study the case of the unit ball and in this case we prove a dichotomy which is an analogue of the James distortion theorem for $\ell_1$-spreading models.

This is an announcement for the paper "Approximation numbers of composition operators on $H^p$ spaces of Dirichlet series" by Herve Queffelec, and Kristian Seip. Abstract: By a theorem of Bayart, $\varphi$ generates a bounded composition operator on the Hardy space $\Hp$of Dirichlet series ($1\le p<\infty$) only if $\varphi(s)=c_0 s+\psi(s)$, where $c_0$ is a nonnegative integer and $\psi$ a Dirichlet series with the following mapping properties: $\psi$ maps the right half-plane into the half-plane $\Real s >1/2$ if $c_0=0$ and is either identically zero or maps the right half-plane into itself if $c_0$ is positive. It is shown that the $n$th approximation numbers of bounded composition operators on $\Hp$ are bounded below by a constant times $r^n$ for some $0<r<1$ when $c_0=0$ and bounded below by a constant times $n^{-A}$ for some $A>0$ when $c_0$ is positive. Both results are best possible. Estimates rely on a combination of soft tools from Banach space theory ($s$-numbers, type and ecotype of Banach spaces, Weyl inequalities, and Schauder bases) and a certain interpolation method for $\Ht$, developed in an earlier paper, using estimates of solutions of the $\overline{\partial}$ equation. A transference principle from $H^p$ of the unit disc is discussed, leading to explicit examples of compact composition operators on $\Ho$ with approximation numbers decaying at a variety of sub-exponential rates.

This is an announcement for the paper "The Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'{a}s property for operators on $C(K)$" by Maria D. Acosta. Abstract: We provide a version for operators of the Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'{a}s Theorem when the domain space is the complex space $C_0(L)$. In fact we prove that the space of weakly compact operators from the complex space $C_0(L)$ into a ${\mathbb C}$-uniformly convex space satisfies the Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'{a}s property for operators. As a consequence, in the complex case, the space of operators from $C_0(L)$ into $L_p (\mu)$ ($1 \le p < \infty $) satisfies the Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'{a}s property for operators.

This is an announcement for the paper "Bellman VS Beurling: sharp estimates of uniform convexity for $L^p$ spaces" by Paata Ivanisvili, Dmitriy M. Stolyarov, and Pavel B. Zatitskiy. Abstract: We obtain the classical Hanner inequalities by the Bellman function method. These inequalities give sharp estimates for the moduli of convexity of Lebesgue spaces. Easy ideas from differential geometry help us to find the Bellman function using neither ``magic guesses'' nor calculations.

This is an announcement for the paper "Matricial Banach spaces" by Will Grilliette. Abstract: This work performs a study of the category of complete matrix-normed spaces, called matricial Banach spaces. Many of the usual constructions of Banach spaces extend in a natural way to matricial Banach spaces, including products, direct sums, and completions. Also, while the minimal matrix-norm on a Banach space is well-known, this work characterizes the maximal matrix-norm on a Banach space from the work of Effros and Ruan as a dual operator space. Moreover, building from the work of Blecher, Ruan, and Sinclair, the Haagerup tensor product is merged with the direct sum to form a Haagerup tensor algebra, which shares the analogous universal property of the Banach tensor algebra from the work of Leptin.

This is an announcement for the paper "Uniqueness of the maximal ideal of operators on the $\ell_p$-sum of $\ell_\infty^n\ (n\in\mathbb{N})$ for $1<p<\infty$" by Tomasz Kania and Niels Jakob Laustsen. Abstract: A recent result of Leung (Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, to appear) states that the Banach algebra $\mathscr{B}(X)$ of bounded, linear operators on the Banach space $X=\bigl(\bigoplus_{n\in\mathbb{N}}\ell_\infty^n\bigr)_{\ell_1}$ contains a unique maximal ideal. We show that the same conclusion holds true for the Banach spaces $X=\bigl(\bigoplus_{n\in\mathbb{N}}\ell_\infty^n\bigr)_{\ell_p}$ and $X=\bigl(\bigoplus_{n\in\mathbb{N}}\ell_1^n\bigr)_{\ell_p}$ whenever $p\in(1,\infty)$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Nigel Kalton and the interpolation theory of commutators" by Michael Cwikel, Mario Milman and Richard Rochberg. Abstract: This is the second of a series of papers surveying some small part of the remarkable work of our friend and colleague Nigel Kalton. We have written it as part of a tribute to his memory. It does not contain new results. One of the many topics in which Nigel made very significant and profound contributions deals with commutators in interpolation theory. It was our great privilege to work with him on one of his many papers about this topic. Our main purpose here is to offer} an introduction to that paper: A unified theory of commutator estimates for a class of interpolation methods. Adv. Math. 169 (2002), no. 2, 241--312. We sketch the theory of interpolation spaces constructed using pseudolattices which was developed in that paper and which enables quite general formulation of commutator theorems. We seek to place the results of that paper in the general context of preceding and subsequent research on this topic, also indicating some applications to other fields of analysis and possible directions for future research.
