This is an announcement for the paper "Differentiability of Distance Function and The Proximinal Condition implying Convexity" by Triloki Nath. Abstract: A necessary and sufficient condition for the differentiability of the distance function generated by an almost proximinal closed set has been given for normed linear spaces with locally uniformly convex and differentiable norm. We prove that the proximinal condition of Giles [6] is true for almost sun. In such spaces if the proximinal condition is satisfied and the distance function is uniformly differentiable on a dense set then it turn in the differentiability on all off the set (generating the distance function). The proximinal condition ensures about the convexity of almost sun in some spaces under a differentiability condition of the distance function. A necessary and sufficient condition is derived for the convexity of Chebyshev sets in Banach spaces with rotund dual.

This is an announcement for the paper "Szlenk indices of convex hulls" by Gilles Lancien, Antonin Prochazka, and Matias Raja. Abstract: We study the general measures of non compactness defined on subsets of a dual Banach space, their associated derivations and their $\omega$-iterates. We introduce the notion of convexifiable measure of non compactness and investigate the properties of its associated fragment and slice derivations. We apply our results to the Kuratowski measure of non compactness and to the study of the Szlenk index of a Banach space. As a consequence, we obtain, for any countable ordinal $\alpha$, a characterization of the Banach spaces with Szlenk index bounded by $\omega^{\alpha+1}$ in terms of the existence an equivalent renorming. This extends a result by Knaust, Odell and Schlumprecht on Banach spaces with Szlenk index equal to $\omega$.

This is an announcement for the paper "On Markushevich bases in preduals of von Neumann algebras" by Martin Bohata, Jan Hamhalter and Ondrej F.K. Kalenda. Abstract: We prove that the predual of any von Neumann algebra is $1$-Plichko, i.e., it has a countably $1$-norming Markushevich basis. This answers a question of the third author who proved the same for preduals of semifinite von Neumann algebras. As a corollary we obtain an easier proof of a result of U.~Haagerup that the predual of any von Neumann algebra enjoys the separable complementation property. We further prove that the self-adjoint part of the predual is $1$-Plichko as well.

This is an announcement for the paper "Amalgamations of classes of Banach spaces with a monotone basis" by Ondrej Kurka. Abstract: It was proved by Argyros and Dodos that, for many classes $ C $ of separable Banach spaces which share some property $ P $, there exists an isomorphically universal space that satisfies $ P $ as well. We introduce a variant of their amalgamation technique which provides an isometrically universal space in the case that $ C $ consists of spaces with a monotone Schauder basis. For example, we prove that if $ C $ is a set of separable Banach spaces which is analytic with respect to the Effros-Borel structure and every $ X \in C $ is reflexive and has a monotone Schauder basis, then there exists a separable reflexive Banach space that is isometrically universal for $ C $.

This is an announcement for the paper "Sidonicity and variants of Kaczmarz's problem" by Jean Bourgain and Mark Lewko. Abstract: We prove that a uniformly bounded system of orthonormal functions satisfying the $\psi_2$ condition: (1) must contain a Sidon subsystem of proportional size, (2) must satisfy the Rademacher-Sidon property, and (3) must have its 5-fold tensor satisfy the Sidon property. On the other hand, we construct a uniformly bounded orthonormal system that satisfies the $\psi_2$ condition but which is not Sidon. These problems are variants of Kaczmarz's Scottish book problem (problem 130) which, in its original formulation, was answered negatively by Rudin. A corollary of our argument is a new, elementary proof of Pisier's theorem that a set of characters satisfying the $\psi_2$ condition is Sidon.

This is an announcement for the paper "The Ascoli property for function spaces and the weak topology of Banach and Fr\'echet spaces" by S. Gabriyelyan, J. Kakol, and G. Plebanek. Abstract: Following [3] we say that a Tychonoff space $X$ is an Ascoli space if every compact subset $\mathcal{K}$ of $C_k(X)$ is evenly continuous; this notion is closely related to the classical Ascoli theorem. Every $k_\mathbb{R}$-space, hence any $k$-space, is Ascoli. Let $X$ be a metrizable space. We prove that the space $C_{k}(X)$ is Ascoli iff $C_{k}(X)$ is a $k_\mathbb{R}$-space iff $X$ is locally compact. Moreover, $C_{k}(X)$ endowed with the weak topology is Ascoli iff $X$ is countable and discrete. Using some basic concepts from probability theory and measure-theoretic properties of $\ell_1$, we show that the following assertions are equivalent for a Banach space $E$: (i) $E$ does not contain isomorphic copy of $\ell_1$, (ii) every real-valued sequentially continuous map on the unit ball $B_{w}$ with the weak topology is continuous, (iii) $B_{w}$ is a $k_\mathbb{R}$-space, (iv) $B_{w}$ is an Ascoli space. We prove also that a Fr\'{e}chet lcs $F$ does not contain isomorphic copy of $\ell_1$ iff each closed and convex bounded subset of $F$ is Ascoli in the weak topology. However we show that a Banach space $E$ in the weak topology is Ascoli iff $E$ is finite-dimensional. We supplement the last result by showing that a Fr\'{e}chet lcs $F$ which is a quojection is Ascoli in the weak topology iff either $F$ is finite dimensional or $F$ is isomorphic to the product $\mathbb{K}^{\mathbb{N}}$, where $\mathbb{K}\in\{\mathbb{R},\mathbb{C}\}$.

This is an announcement for the paper "$(\beta)$-distortion of some infinite graphs" by Florent P. Baudier and Sheng Zhang. Abstract: A distortion lower bound of $\Omega(\log(h)^{1/p})$ is proven for embedding the complete countably branching hyperbolic tree of height $h$ into a Banach space admitting an equivalent norm satisfying property $(\beta)$ of Rolewicz with modulus of power type $p\in(1,\infty)$ (in short property ($\beta_p$)). Also it is shown that a distortion lower bound of $\Omega(\ell^{1/p})$ is incurred when embedding the parasol graph with $\ell$ levels into a Banach space with an equivalent norm with property ($\beta_p$). The tightness of the lower bound for trees is shown adjusting a construction of Matou\v{s}ek to the case of infinite trees. It is also explained how our work unifies and extends a series of results about the stability under nonlinear quotients of the asymptotic structure of infinite-dimensional Banach spaces. Finally two other applications regarding metric characterizations of asymptotic properties of Banach spaces, and the finite determinacy of bi-Lipschitz embeddability problems are discussed.

This is an announcement for the paper "Operators in tight by support Banach spaces" by Antonis Manoussakis and Anna Pelczar-Barwacz. Abstract: We answer the question of W.T. Gowers, giving an example of a bounded operator on a subspace of Gowers unconditional space which is not a strictly singular perturbation of a restriction of a diagonal operator. We make some observations on operators in arbitrary tight by support Banach space, showing in particular that in such space no two isomorphic infinitely dimensional subspaces form a direct sum.
