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.
