This is an announcement for the paper "Uniform boundedness deciding sets,
and a problem of M. Valdivia" by Olav Nygaard.
Abstract: We prove that if a set $B$ in a Banach space $X$ can be
written as an increasing, countable union $B=\cup_n B_n$ of sets $B_n$
such that no $B_n$ is uniform boundedness deciding, then also $B$ is not
uniform boundedness deciding. From this we can give a positive answer
to a question of M. Valdivia.

This is an announcement for the paper "Interpolation of Fredholm
operators" by I. Asekritova, N. Kruglyak and M. Mastylo.
Abstract: We prove novel results on interpolation of Fredholm operators
including an abstract factorization theorem. The main result of this
paper provides sufficient conditions on the parameters $\theta \in (0,1)$
and $q\in \lbrack 1,\infty ]$ under which an operator $A$ is a Fredholm
operator from the real interpolation space $(X_{0},X_{1})_{\theta
,q}$ to $(Y_{0},Y_{1})_{\theta ,q} $ for a given operator $A\colon
(X_{0},X_{1})\rightarrow (Y_{0},Y_{1})$ between compatible pairs of Banach
spaces such that its restrictions to the endpoint spaces are Fredholm
operators. These conditions are expressed in terms of the corresponding
indices generated by the $K$-functional of elements from the kernel of the
operator $A$ in the interpolation sum $X_{0}+X_{1}$. If in addition $q\in
\lbrack 1,\infty )$ and $A$ is invertible operator on endpoint spaces,
then these conditions are also necessary. We apply these results to
obtain and present an affirmative solution of the famous Lions-Magenes
problem on the real interpolation of closed subspaces. We also discuss
some applications to the spectral theory of operators as well as to
perturbation of the Hardy operator by identity on weighted $L_{p}$-spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "Characterization of dual mixed
volumes via polymeasures" by Carlos H. Jimenez and Ignacio Villanueva.
Abstract: We prove a characterization of the dual mixed volume in terms
of functional properties of the polynomial associated to it. To do
this, we use tools from the theory of multilinear operators on spaces of
continuos functions. Along the way we reprove, with these same techniques,
a recently found characterization of the dual mixed volume.

This is an announcement for the paper "The transfer of property $(\beta)$
of Rolewicz by a uniform quotient" by S. J. Dilworth, Denka Kutzarova,
and N. Lovasoa Randrianarivony.
Abstract: We provide a Laakso construction to prove that the property
of having an equivalent norm with the property $(\beta)$ of Rolewicz
is qualitatively preserved via surjective uniform quotient mappings
between separable Banach spaces. On the other hand, we show that the
$(\beta)$-modulus is not quantitatively preserved via such a map by
exhibiting two uniformly homeomorphic Banach spaces that do not have
$(\beta)$-moduli of the same power-type even under renorming.

This is an announcement for the paper "Sharp nonasymptotic bounds on the
norm of random matrices with independent entries" by Afonso S. Bandeira
and Ramon van Handel.
Abstract: We obtain nonasymptotic bounds on the spectral norm of
random matrices with independent entries that improve significantly
on earlier results. If $X$ is the $n\times n$ symmetric matrix with
$X_{ij}\sim N(0,b_{ij}^2)$, we show that $$\mathbf{E}\|X\|\lesssim
\max_i\sqrt{\sum_{j}b_{ij}^2} +\max_{ij}|b_{ij}|\sqrt{\log n}. $$ This
bound is optimal in the sense that a matching lower bound holds under mild
assumptions, and the constants are sufficiently sharp that we can often
capture the precise edge of the spectrum. Analogous results are obtained
for rectangular matrices and for more general subgaussian or heavy-tailed
distributions of the entries, and we derive tail bounds in addition to
bounds on the expected norm. The proofs are based on a combination of
the moment method and geometric functional analysis techniques. As an
application, we show that our bounds immediately yield the correct phase
transition behavior of the spectral edge of random band matrices and of
sparse Wigner matrices. We also recover a result of Seginer on the norm
of Rademacher matrices.

This is an announcement for the paper "Metric ${X}_p$ inequalities"
by Assaf Naor and Gideon Schechtman.
Abstract: We show that if $m,n\in \mathbb{N}$ and $k\in \{1,\ldots,
n\}$ satisfy $m\ge \frac{n^{3/2}}{\sqrt{k}}$ then for every
$p\in [2,\infty)$ and $f:\mathbb{Z}_{4m}^n\to \mathbb{R}$ we have
\begin{equation} \frac{1}{\binom{n}{k}}\sum_{\substack{S\subseteq
\{1,\ldots,n\}\\|S|= k}}\frac{\mathbb{E}\left[\big|f\big(x+2m\sum_{j\in
S} \varepsilon_j e_j\big)-f(x)\big|^p\right]}{m^p}\lesssim_p
\frac{k}{n}\sum_{j=1}^n\mathbb{E}\big[\left|
f(x+e_j)-f(x)\right|^p\big]+\left(\frac{k}{n}\right)^{\frac{p}{2}}
\mathbb{E}\big[\left|f\left(x+ \varepsilon{e}\right)-f(x)\right|^p\big],
\end{equation} where the expectation is with respect to
$(x,\varepsilon)\in \mathbb{Z}_{4m}^n\times \{-1,1\}^n$ chosen
uniformly at random and $e_1,\ldots e_n$ is the standard basis of
$\mathbb{Z}_{4m}^n$. The above inequality is a nonlinear extension of
a linear inequality for Rademacher sums that was proved by Johnson,
Maurey, Schechtman and Tzafriri in 1979. We show that for the above
statement to hold true it is necessary that $m$ tends to infinity with
$n$. The formulation (and proof) of the above inequality completes
the long-standing search for bi-Lipschitz invariants that serve as an
obstruction to the nonembeddability of $L_p$ spaces into each other,
the previously understood cases of which were metric notions of type and
cotype, which fail to certify the nonembeddability of $L_q$ into $L_p$
when $2<q<p$. Among the consequences of the above inequality are new
quantitative restrictions on the bi-Lipschitz embeddability into $L_p$
of snowflakes of $L_q$ and integer grids in $\ell_q^n$, for $2<q<p$. As a
byproduct of our investigations, we also obtain results on the geometry
of the Schatten $p$ trace class $S_p$ that are new even in the linear
setting.
