This is an announcement for the paper "Concerning the Szlenk index" by Ryan Causey. Abstract: We discuss pruning and coloring lemmas on regular families. We discuss several applications of these lemmas to computing the Szlenk index of certain $w^*$ compact subsets of the dual of a separable Banach space. Applications include estimates of the Szlenk index of Minkowski sums, infinite direct sums of separable Banach spaces, constant reduction, and three space properties. We also consider using regular families to construct Banach spaces with prescribed Szlenk index. As a consequence, we give a characterization of which countable ordinals occur as the Szlenk index of a Banach space, prove the optimality of a previous universality result, and compute the Szlenk index of the injective tensor product of separable Banach spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "Equilateral Sets in Banach Spaces of th form C(K)" by S.K. Mercourakis and G. Vassiliadis. Abstract: We show that for "most" compact non metrizable spaces, the unit ball of the Banach space C(K) contains an uncountable 2-equilateral set. We also give examples of compact non metrizable spaces K such that the minimum cardinality of a maximal equilateral set in C(K) is countable.

This is an announcement for the paper "Intersection Theorems for Closed Convex Sets and Applications" by Hichem Ben-El-Mechaiekh. Abstract: A number of landmark existence theorems of nonlinear functional analysis follow in a simple and direct way from the basic separation of convex closed sets in finite dimension via elementary versions of the Knaster-Kuratowski-Mazurkiewicz principle - which we extend to arbitrary topological vector spaces - and a coincidence property for so-called von Neumann relations. The method avoids the use of deeper results of topological essence such as the Brouwer fixed point theorem or the Sperner's lemma and underlines the crucial role played by convexity. It turns out that the convex KKM principle is equivalent to the Hahn-Banach theorem, the Markov-Kakutani fixed point theorem, and the Sion-von Neumann minimax principle.

This is an announcement for the paper "On Schauder Bases Properties of Multiply Generated Gabor Systems" by Morten Nielsen. Abstract: Let $A$ be a finite subset of $L^2(\mathbb{R})$ and $p,q\in\mathbb{N}$. We characterize the Schauder basis properties in $L^2(\mathbb{R})$ of the Gabor system $$G(1,p/q,A)=\{e^{2\pi i m x}g(x-np/q) : m,n\in \mathbb{Z}, g\in A\},$$ with a specific ordering on $\mathbb{Z}\times \mathbb{Z}\times A$. The characterization is given in terms of a Muckenhoupt matrix $A_2$ condition on an associated Zibulski-Zeevi type matrix.

This is an announcement for the paper "Pythagorean powers of hypercubes" by Assaf Naor and Gideon Schechtman. Abstract: For $n\in \mathbb{N}$ consider the $n$-dimensional hypercube as equal to the vector space $\mathbb{F}_2^n$, where $\mathbb{F}_2$ is the field of size two. Endow $\mathbb{F}_2^n$ with the Hamming metric, i.e., with the metric induced by the $\ell_1^n$ norm when one identifies $\mathbb{F}_2^n$ with $\{0,1\}^n\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$. Denote by $\ell_2^n(\mathbb{F}_2^n)$ the $n$-fold Pythagorean product of $\mathbb{F}_2^n$, i.e., the space of all $x=(x_1,\ldots,x_n)\in \prod_{j=1}^n \mathbb{F}_2^n$, equipped with the metric $$ \forall\, x,y\in \prod_{j=1}^n \mathbb{F}_2^n,\qquad d_{\ell_2^n(\mathbb{F}_2^n)}(x,y)= \sqrt{ \|x_1-y_1\|_1^2+\ldots+\|x_n-y_n\|_1^2}. $$ It is shown here that the bi-Lipschitz distortion of any embedding of $\ell_2^n(\mathbb{F}_2^n)$ into $L_1$ is at least a constant multiple of $\sqrt{n}$. This is achieved through the following new bi-Lipschitz invariant, which is a metric version of (a slight variant of) a linear inequality of Kwapie{\'n} and Sch\"utt (1989). Letting $\{e_{jk}\}_{j,k\in \{1,\ldots,n\}}$ denote the standard basis of the space of all $n$ by $n$ matrices $M_n(\mathbb{F}_2)$, say that a metric space $(X,d_X)$ is a KS space if there exists $C=C(X)>0$ such that for every $n\in 2\mathbb{N}$, every mapping $f:M_n(\mathbb{F}_2)\to X$ satisfies \begin{equation*}\label{eq:metric KS abstract} \frac{1}{n}\sum_{j=1}^n\mathbb{E}\left[d_X\Big(f\Big(x+\sum_{k=1}^ne_{jk}\Big),f(x)\Big)\right]\le C \mathbb{E}\left[d_X\Big(f\Big(x+\sum_{j=1}^ne_{jk_j}\Big),f(x)\Big)\right], \end{equation*} where the expectations above are with respect to $x\in M_n(\mathbb{F}_2)$ and $k=(k_1,\ldots,k_n)\in \{1,\ldots,n\}^n$ chosen uniformly at random. It is shown here that $L_1$ is a KS space (with $C= 2e^2/(e^2-1)$, which is best possible), implying the above nonembeddability statement. Links to the Ribe program are discussed, as well as related open problems.

This is an announcement for the paper "Preserving affine Baire classes by perfect affine maps" by Ondrej F.K. Kalenda and Jiri Spurny. Abstract: Let $\varphi\colon X\to Y$ be an affine continuous surjection between compact convex sets. Suppose that the canonical copy of the space of real-valued affine continuous functions on $Y$ in the space of real-valued affine continuous functions on $X$ is complemented. We show that if $F$ is a topological vector space, then $f\colon Y\to F$ is of affine Baire class $\alpha$ whenever the composition $f\circ\varphi$ is of affine Baire class $\alpha$. This abstract result is applied to extend known results on affine Baire classes of strongly affine Baire mappings.

This is an announcement for the paper "Model-theoretic aspects of the Gurarij operator space" by Isaac Goldbring and Martino Lupini. Abstract: We show that the theory of the Gurarij operator space is the model-completion of the theory of operator spaces, it has a unique separable $1$-exact model, continuum many separable models, and no prime model. We also establish the corresponding facts for the Gurarij operator system. The proofs involve establishing that the theories of the Fra\"iss\'{e} limits of the classes of finite-dimensional $M_q$-spaces and $M_q$-systems are separably categorical and have quantifier-elimination. We conclude the paper by showing that no existentially closed operator system can be completely order isomorphic to a C$^*$ algebra.

This is an announcement for the paper "On automorphisms of the Banach space $\ell_\infty/c_0$" by Piotr Koszmider and Cristobal Rodriguez-Porras. Abstract: We investigate Banach space automorphisms $T:\ell_\infty/c_0\rightarrow\ell_\infty/c_0 $ focusing on the possibility of representing their fragments of the form $$T_{B,A}:\ell_\infty(A)/c_0(A)\rightarrow \ell_\infty(B)/c_0(B)$$ for $A, B\subseteq N$ infinite by means of linear operators from $\ell_\infty(A)$ into $\ell_\infty(B)$, infinite $A\times B$-matrices, continuous maps from $B^*=\beta B\setminus B$ into $A^*$, or bijections from $B$ to $A$. This leads to the analysis of general linear operators on $\ell_\infty/c_0$. We present many examples, introduce and investigate several classes of operators, for some of them we obtain satisfactory representations and for other give examples showing that it is impossible. In particular, we show that there are automorphisms of $\ell_\infty/c_0$ which cannot be lifted to operators on $\ell_\infty$ and assuming OCA+MA we show that every automorphism of $\ell_\infty/c_0$ with no fountains or with no funnels is locally, i.e., for some infinite $A, B\subseteq N$ as above, induced by a bijection from $B$ to $A$. This additional set-theoretic assumption is necessary as we show that the continuum hypothesis implies the existence of counterexamples of diverse flavours. However, many basic problems, some of which are listed in the last section, remain open.
