This is an announcement for the paper "A dual method of constructing
hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces" by Spiros A. Argyros and
Pavlos Motakis.
Abstract:
A new method of defining hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces is
presented. This method provides a unified approach for constructing
reflexive HI spaces and also HI spaces with no reflexive subspace. All
the spaces presented here satisfy the property that the composition of
any two strictly singular operators is a compact one. This yields the
first known example of a Banach space with no reflexive subspace such
that every operator has a non-trivial closed invariant subspace.

This is an announcement for the paper "The unit ball of the predual
of $H^\infty(\mathbb{B}_d)$ has no extreme points" by Raphael Clouatre and
Kenneth R. Davidson.
Abstract:
We identify the exposed points of the unit ball of the dual space of the
ball algebra. As a corollary, we show that the predual of
$H^\infty(\mathbb{B}_d)$ has no extreme points in its unit ball.

This is an announcement for the paper "A remark on spaces of affine
continuous functions on a simplex" by Emanuele Casini, Enrico Miglierina,
and Lukasz Piasecki.
Abstract:
We present an example of an infinite dimensional separable space
of affine continuous functions on a Choquet simplex that does not contain
a subspace linearly isometric to $c$. This example disproves a result
stated in M. Zippin. On some subspaces of Banach spaces whose duals
are $L_1$ spaces. Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 23, (1969), 378-385.

This is an announcement for the paper "Modulus of supporting convexity
and supporting smoothness" by Grigory Ivanov.
Abstract:
We introduce the moduli of the supporting convexity and the supporting
smoothness of the Banach space which characterize the deviation of the
unit sphere from an arbitrary supporting hyperplane. We show that the
modulus of supporting smoothness, the Banas modulus, and the modulus of
smoothness are equivalent at zero, respectively the modulus of supporting
convexity is equivalent at zero to the modulus of convexity. We prove
a Day-Nordlander type result for these moduli.

This is an announcement for the paper "Separable Lindenstrauss spaces
whose duals lack the weak$^*$ fixed point property for nonexpansive
mappings" by Emanuele Casini, Enrico Miglierina, and Lukasz Piasecki.
Abstract:
In this paper we study the $w^*$-fixed point property for nonexpansive
mappings. First we show that the dual space $X^*$ lacks the
$w^*$-fixed point property whenever $X$ contains an isometric copy of
the space $c$. Then, the main result of our paper provides several
characterizations of weak-star topologies that fail the fixed point
property for nonexpansive mappings in $\ell_1$ space. This result allows
us to obtain a characterization of all separable Lindenstrauss spaces $X$
inducing the failure of $w^*$-fixed point property in $X^*$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Uncountable sets of unit vectors
that are separated by more than 1" by Tomasz Kania and Tomasz Kochanek.
Abstract:
Let $X$ be a Banach space. We study the circumstances under which there
exists an uncountable set $\mathcal A\subset X$ of unit vectors such
that $\|x-y\|>1$ for distinct $x,y\in \mathcal A$. We prove that
such a set exists if $X$ is quasi-reflexive and non-separable; if $X$
is additionally super-reflexive then one can have $\|x-y\|\geqslant
1+\varepsilon$ for some $\varepsilon>0$ that depends only on $X$. If
$K$ is a compact, Hausdorff space, then $X=C(K)$ contains such a set of
cardinality equal to the density of $X$; this solves a problem left open
by S. K. Mercourakis and G. Vassiliadis.

This is an announcement for the paper "The closedness of the generator
of a semigroup" by George Androulakis and Matthew Ziemke.
Abstract:
We study semigroups of bounded operators on a Banach space such
that the members of the semigroup are continuous with respect to various
weak topologies and we give sufficient conditions for the generator of
the semigroup to be closed with respect to the topologies involved. The
proofs of these results use the Laplace transforms of the semigroup. Thus
we first give sufficient conditions for Pettis integrability of vector
valued functions with respect to scalar measures.

This is an announcement for the paper "Equivalence after extension
for compact operators on Banach spaces" by Sanne ter Horst, Miek
Messerschmidt, and Andre C.M. Ran.
Abstract:
In recent years the coincidence of the operator relations equivalence
after extension and Schur coupling was settled for the Hilbert space
case, by showing that equivalence after extension implies equivalence
after one-sided extension. In this paper we investigate consequences of
equivalence after extension for compact Banach space operators. We show
that generating the same operator ideal is necessary but not sufficient
for two compact operators to be equivalent after extension. In analogy
with the necessary and sufficient conditions on the singular values for
compact Hilbert space operators that are equivalent after extension, we
prove the necessity of similar relationships between the $s$-numbers of
two compact Banach space operators that are equivalent after extension,
for arbitrary $s$-functions.
We investigate equivalence after extension for operators on
$\ell^{p}$-spaces. We show that two operators that act on different
$\ell^{p}$-spaces cannot be equivalent after one-sided extension. Such
operators can still be equivalent after extension, for instance all
invertible operators are equivalent after extension, however, if one
of the two operators is compact, then they cannot be equivalent after
extension. This contrasts the Hilbert space case where equivalence
after one-sided extension and equivalence after extension are, in fact,
identical relations.
Finally, for general Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$, we investigate
consequences of an operator on $X$ being equivalent after extension to
a compact operator on $Y$. We show that, in this case, a closed finite
codimensional subspace of $Y$ must embed into $X$, and that certain
general Banach space properties must transfer from $X$ to $Y$. We also
show that no operator on $X$ can be equivalent after extension to an
operator on $Y$, if $X$ and $Y$ are essentially incomparable Banach
spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "Uncountable equilateral sets in
Banach spaces of the form $C(K)$" by Piotr Koszmider.
Abstract:
The paper is concerned with the problem whether a nonseparable
Banach space must contain an uncountable set of vectors such that the
distances between every two distinct vectors of the set are the same. Such
sets are called equilateral. We show that Martin's axiom and the negation
of the continuum hypothesis imply that every nonseparable Banach space
of the form $C(K)$ has an uncountable equilateral set. We also show
that one cannot obtain such a result without an additional set-theoretic
assumption since we construct an example of nonseparable Banach space of
the form $C(K)$ which has no uncountable equilateral set (or equivalently
no uncountable $(1+\varepsilon)$-separated set in the unit sphere for
any $\varepsilon>0$) making another consistent combinatorial assumption.
The compact $K$ is a version of the split interval obtained from
a sequence of functions which behave in an anti-Ramsey manner. It remains
open if there is an absolute example of a nonseparable Banach space
of the form different than $C(K)$ which has no uncountable equilateral
set. It follows from the results of S. Mercourakis, G. Vassiliadis that
our example has an equivalent renorming in which it has an uncountable
equilateral set. It remains open if there are consistent examples which
have no uncountable equilateral sets in any equivalent renorming. It
follows from the results of S. Todorcevic that it is consistent that
every nonseparable Banach space has an equivalent renorming in in which
it has an uncountable equilateral set.
