This is an announcement for the paper "Do Minkowski averages get
progressively more convex?" by Matthieu Fradelizi, Mokshay Madiman,
Arnaud Marsiglietti, and Artem Zvavitch.
Abstract:
Let us define, for a compact set $A \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, the Minkowski averages of $A$: $$ A(k) =3D \left\{\frac{a_1+\cdots +a_k}{k}
: a_1, \ldo= ts, a_k\in A\right\}=3D\frac{1}{k}\Big(\underset{k\
{\rm times}}{\underbrace{= A + \cdots + A}}\Big). $$ We study the
monotonicity of the convergence of $A(= k)$ towards the convex hull
of $A$, when considering the Hausdorff distance, the volume deficit
and a non-convexity index of Schneider as measures of convergence. For
the volume deficit, we show that monotonicity fails in general, thus
disproving a conjecture of Bobkov, Madiman and Wang. For Schneider's
non-convexity index, we prove that a strong form of monotonic= ity
holds, and for the Hausdorff distance, we establish that the sequence
is eventually nonincreasing.

This is an announcement for the paper "The isotropy constant and boundary
properties of convex bodies" by Mathieu Meyer and Shlomo Reisner.
Abstract:
Let ${\cal K}^n$ be the set of all convex bodies in $\mathbb R^n$
endowed with the Hausdorff distance. We prove that if $K\in {\cal K}^n$
has positive generalized Gauss curvature at some point of its boundary,
then $K$ is not a local maximizer for the isotropy constant $L_K$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Some results on almost square
Banach spaces" by Julio Becerra Guerrero, Gines Lopez Perez, and Abraham
Rueda.
Abstract:
We study almost square Banach spaces under a topological point of view.
Indeed, we prove that the class of Banach spaces which admits an
equivalent norm to be ASQ is that of those Banach spaces which contain
an isomorphic copy of $c_0$. We also prove that the symmetric projective
tensor products of an almost square Banach space have the strong diameter
two property

This is an announcement for the paper "On ergodic operator means in
Banach spaces" by Alexandru Aleman and Laurian Suciu.
Abstract:
We consider a large class of operator means and prove that a number of
ergodic theorems, as well as growth estimates known for particular cases,
continue to hold in the general context under fairly mild regularity
conditions. The methods developed in the paper not only yield a new
approach based on a general point of view, but also lead to results that
are new, even in the context of the classical Cesaro means.

This is an announcement for the paper "Weaving Schauder frames" by Peter
G. Casazza, Daniel Freeman, and Richard G. Lynch.
Abstract:
We extend the concept of weaving Hilbert space frames to the Banach
space setting. Similar to frames in a Hilbert space, we show that for
any two approximate Schauder frames for a Banach space, every weaving
is an approximate Schauder frame if and only if there is a uniform
constant $C\geq 1$ such that every weaving is a $C$-approximate Schauder
frame. We also study weaving Schauder bases, where it is necessary
to introduce two notions of weaving. On one hand, we can ask if two
Schauder bases are woven when considered as Schauder frames with their
biorthogonal functionals, and alternatively, we can ask if each weaving
of two Schauder bases remains a Schauder basis. We will prove that these
two notions coincide when all weavings are unconditional, but otherwise
they can be different. Lastly, we prove two perturbation theorems for
approximate Schauder frames.

This is an announcement for the paper "Complex structures on twisted
Hilbert spaces" by Jesus M. F. Castillo, Wilson Cuellar, Valentin
Ferenczi, and Yolanda Moreno.
Abstract:
We investigate complex structures on twisted Hilbert spaces, with
special attention paid to the Kalton-Peck $Z_2$ space and to the
hyperplane problem. We consider (nontrivial) twisted Hilbert spaces
generated by centralizers obtained from an interpolation scale of K\"othe
function spaces. We show there are always complex structures on the
Hilbert space that cannot be extended to the twisted Hilbert space. If,
however, the scale is formed by rearrangement invariant K\"othe function
spaces then there are complex structures on it that can be extended to a
complex structure of the twisted Hilbert space. Regarding the hyperplane
problem we show that no complex structure on $\ell_2$ can be extended
to a complex structure on an hyperplane of $Z_2$ containing it.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the restricted invertibility
problem with an additional constraint for random matrices" by Stephane
Chretien.
Abstract:
The Restricted Invertibility problem is the problem of selecting the
largest subset of columns of a given matrix $X$, while keeping the
smallest singular value of the extracted submatrix above a certain
threshold. In this paper, we address this problem in the simpler case
where $X$ is a random matrix but with the additional constraint that the
selected columns be almost orthogonal to a given vector $v$. Our main
result is a lower bound on the number of columns we can extract from a
normalized i.i.d. Gaussian matrix for the worst $v$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Quantitative coarse embeddings
of quasi-Banach spaces into a Hilbert space" by Michal Kraus.
Abstract:
We study how well a quasi-Banach space can be coarsely embedded into a
Hilbert space. Given any quasi-Banach space X which coarsely embeds into
a Hilbert space, we compute its Hilbert space compression exponent. We
also show that the Hilbert space compression exponent of X is equal to the
supremum of the amounts of snowflakings of X which admit a bi-Lipschitz
embedding into a Hilbert space.
