This is an announcement for the paper "A conjecture on the characterisation of inner product spaces" by Kallol Paul, Debmalya Sain and Lokenath Debnath. Abstract: We study the properties of strongly orthonormal Hamel basis in the sense of Birkhoff-James in a finite dimensional real normed linear space that are analogous to the properties of orthonormal basis in an inner product space. We relate the notion of strongly orthonormal Hamel basis in the sense of Birkhoff-James with the notions of best approximation and best coapproximation in a finite dimensional real normed linear space. We prove that the existence of best coapproximation to any element of the normed linear space out of any one dimensional subspace and its coincidence with the best approximation to that element out of that subspace characterises a real inner product space of dimension( > 2). Finally we conjecture that a finite dimensional real smooth normed space of dimension ($>2$) is an inner product space iff given any element on the unit sphere there exists a strongly orthonormal Hamel basis in the sense of Birkhoff-James containing that element.

This is an announcement for the paper "Consequences of the Marcus/Spielman/Stivastava solution to the Kadison-Singer Problem" by Peter G. Casazza. Abstract: It is known that the famous, intractible 1959 Kadison-Singer problem in $C^{*}$-algebras is equivalent to fundamental unsolved problems in a dozen areas of research in pure mathematics, applied mathematics and Engineering. The recent surprising solution to this problem by Marcus, Spielman and Srivastava was a significant achievement and a significant advance for all these areas of research. We will look at many of the known equivalent forms of the Kadison-Singer Problem and see what are the best new theorems available in each area of research as a consequence of the work of Marcus, Spielman and Srivastave. In the cases where {\it constants} are important for the theorem, we will give the best constants available in terms of a {\it generic constant} taken from \cite{MSS}. Thus, if better constants eventually become available, it will be simple to adapt these new constants to the theorems.

This is an announcement for the paper "Lipschitz slices and the Daugavet equation for Lipschitz operators" by Vladimir Kadets, Miguel Martin, Javier Meri, and Dirk Werner. Abstract: We introduce a substitute for the concept of slice for the case of non-linear Lipschitz functionals and transfer to the non-linear case some results about the Daugavet and the alternative Daugavet equations previously known only for linear operators.

This is an announcement for the paper "An extension of James's compactness theorem" by Ioannis Gasparis. Abstract: Let X and Y be Banach spaces and F a subset of B_{Y^*}. Endow Y with the topology \tau_F of pointwise convergence on F. Let T: X^* \to Y be a bounded linear operator which is (w^*, \tau_F) continuous. Assume that every vector in the range of T attains its norm at an element of F. Then it is proved that T is (w^*,w) continuous.

This is an announcement for the paper "On smoothness of quasihyperbolic balls" by Riku Klen, Antti Rasila, and Jarno Talponen. Abstract: We investigate properties of quasihyperbolic balls and geodesics in Euclidean and Banach spaces. Our main result is that in uniformly smooth Banach spaces a quasihyperbolic ball of a convex domain is $C^1$-smooth. The question about the smoothness of quasihyperbolic balls is old, originating back to the discussions of F.W. Gehring and M. Vuorinen in 1970's. To our belief, the result is new also in the Euclidean setting. We also address some other issues involving the smoothness of quasihyperbolic balls. We introduce an interesting application of quasihyperbolic metrics to renormings of Banach spaces. To provide a useful tool for this approach we turn our attention to the variational stability of quasihyperbolic geodesics. Several examples and illustrations are provided.

This is an announcement for the paper "Geometric duality theory of cones in dual pairs of vector spaces" by Miek Messerschmidt. Abstract: This paper will generalize what may be termed the ``geometric duality theory'' of real pre-ordered Banach spaces which relates geometric properties of a closed cone in a real Banach space, to geometric properties of the dual cone in the dual Banach space. We show that geometric duality theory is not restricted to real pre-ordered Banach spaces, as is done classically, but can naturally extended to real Banach spaces endowed with arbitrary collections of closed cones. We define geometric notions of normality, conormality, additivity and coadditivity for members of dual pairs of real vector spaces as certain possible interactions between two cones and two convex convex sets containing zero. We show that, thus defined, these notions are dual to each other under certain conditions, i.e., for a dual pair of real vector spaces $(Y,Z)$, the space $Y$ is normal (additive) if and only if its dual $Z$ is conormal (coadditive) and vice versa. These results are set up in a manner so as to provide a framework to prove results in the geometric duality theory of cones in real Banach spaces. As an example of using this framework, we generalize classical duality results for real Banach spaces pre-ordered by a single closed cone, to real Banach spaces endowed with an arbitrary collections of closed cones. As an application, we analyze some of the geometric properties of naturally occurring cones in C*-algebras and their duals.

This is an announcement for the paper "On rectangular constant in normed linear spaces" by Kallol Paul, Puja Ghosh, and Debmalya Sain. Abstract: We study the properties of rectangular constant $ \mu(\mathbb{X}) $ in a normed linear space $\mathbb{X}$. We prove that $ \mu(\mathbb{X}) = 3$ iff the unit sphere contains a straight line segment of length 2. In fact, we prove that the rectangular modulus attains its upper bound iff the unit sphere contains a straight line segment of length 2. We prove that if the dimension of the space $\mathbb{X}$ is finite then $\mu(\mathbb{X})$ is attained. We also prove that a normed linear space is an inner product space iff we have sup$\{\frac{1+|t|}{\|y+tx\|}$: $x,y \in S_{\mathbb{X}}$ with $x\bot_By\} \leq \sqrt{2}$ $\forall t$ satisfying $|t|\in (3-2\sqrt{2},\sqrt{2}+1)$.
