This is an announcement for the paper "On weakly Radon-Nikod\'ym compact spaces" by Gonzalo Martinez-Cervantes. Abstract: A compact space is said to be weakly Radon-Nikod\'ym if it is homeomorphic to a weak*-compact subset of the dual of a Banach space not containing an isomorphic copy of $\ell_1$. In this work we provide an example of a continuous image of a Radon-Nikod\'ym compact space which is not weakly Radon-Nikod\'ym. Moreover, we define a superclass of the continuous images of weakly Radon-Nikod\'ym compact spaces and study its relation with Corson compacta and weakly Radon-Nikod\'ym compacta.

This is an announcement for the paper "On subspaces of invariant vectors" by Tatiana Shulman. Abstract: Let $X_{\pi}$ be the subspace of fixed vectors for a uniformly bounded representation $\pi$ of a group $G$ on a Banach space $X$. We study the problem of the existence and uniqueness of a subspace $Y$ that complements $X_{\pi}$ in $X$. Similar questions for $G$-invariant complement to $X_{\pi}$ are considered. We prove that every non-amenable discrete group $G$ has a representation with non-complemented $X_{\pi}$ and find some conditions that provide an $G$-invariant complement. A special attention is given to representations on $C(K)$ that arise from an action of $G$ on a metric compact $K$.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the problem of compact totally disconnected reflection of nonmetrizability" by Piotr Koszmider. Abstract: We construct a ZFC example of a nonmetrizable compact space $K$ such that every totally disconnected closed subspace $L\subseteq K$ is metrizable. In fact, the construction can be arranged so that every nonmetrizable compact subspace may be of fixed big dimension. Then we focus on the problem if a nonmetrizable compact space $K$ must have a closed subspace with a nonmetrizable totally disconnected continuous image. This question has several links with the the structure of the Banach space $C(K)$, for example, by Holszty\'nski's theorem, if $K$ is a counterexample, then $C(K)$ contains no isometric copy of a nonseparable Banach space $C(L)$ for $L$ totally disconnected. We show that in the literature there are diverse consistent counterexamples, most eliminated by Martin's axiom and the negation of the continuum hypothesis, but some consistent with it. We analyze the above problem for a particular class of spaces. OCA+MA however, implies the nonexistence of any counterexample in this class but the existence of some other absolute example remains open.

This is an announcement for the paper "Factorization of the identity through operators with large diagonal" by Niels Jakob Laustsen, Richard Lechner, and Paul F.X. Mueller. Abstract: Given a Banach space $X$ with an unconditional basis, we consider the following question: does the identity on $X$ factor through every bounded operator on $X$ with large diagonal relative to the unconditional basis? We show that on Gowers' space with its unconditional basis there exists an operator for which the answer to the question is negative. By contrast, for any operator on the mixed-norm Hardy spaces $H^p(H^q)$, where $1 \leq p,q < \infty$, with the bi-parameter Haar system, this problem always has a positive solution. The one-parameter $H^p$ spaces were treated first by Andrew in 1979.

This is an announcement for the paper "Banach space-valued extensions of linear operators on $L^{\infty}$" by Nick Lindemulder. Abstract: Let $E$ and $G$ be two Banach function spaces, let $T \in \mathcal{L}(E,Y)$, and let ${\langle X,Y \rangle}$ be a Banach dual pair. In this paper we give conditions for which there exists a (necessarily unique) bounded linear operator $T_{Y} \in \mathcal{L}(E(Y),G(Y))$ with the property that \[ {\langle x,T_{Y}e \rangle} = T{\langle x,e \rangle} \quad\quad \forall e \in E(Y), x \in X. \] Our first main result states that, in case ${\langle X,Y \rangle} = {\langle Y^{*}, Y \rangle}$ with $Y$ a reflexive Banach space, for the existence of $T_{Y}$ it sufficient that $T$ is dominated by a positive operator. Our second main result concerns the case that $T$ is an adjoint operator on $L^{\infty}(A)$: we suppose that $E = L^{\infty}(A)$ for a semi-finite measure space $(A,\mathscr{A},\mu)$, that ${\langle F, G \rangle}$ is a K\"othe dual pair, and that $T$ is $\sigma(L^{\infty}(A),L^{1}(A))$-to-$\sigma(G,F)$ continuous. Then $T_{Y}$ exists provided that $T$ is dominated by a positive operator, in which case $T_{Y}$ is $\sigma(L^{\infty}(A;Y),L^{1}(A;X))$-to-$\sigma(G(Y),F \tilde{\otimes} X)$ continuous; here $F \tilde{\otimes} X$ denotes the closure of $F \otimes X$ in $F(X)$. We also consider situations in which the existence is automatic and we furthermore show that in certain situations it is necessary that $T$ is regular. As an application of this result we consider conditional expectation on Banach space-valued $L^{\infty}$-spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the interval of fluctuation of the singular values of random" by Olivier Guedon, Alexander E. Litvak, Alain Pajor, and Nicole Tomczak-Jaegermann. Abstract: Let $A$ be a matrix whose columns $X_1,\dots, X_N$ are independent random vectors in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Assume that the tails of the 1-dimensional marginals decay as $\mathbb{P}(|\langle X_i, a\rangle|\geq t)\leq t^{-p}$ uniformly in $a\in S^{n-1}$ and $i\leq N$. Then for $p>4$ we prove that with high probability $A/{\sqrt{n}}$ has the Restricted Isometry Property (RIP) provided that Euclidean norms $|X_i|$ are concentrated around $\sqrt{n}$. We also show that the covariance matrix is well approximated by the empirical covariance matrix and establish corresponding quantitative estimates on the rate of convergence in terms of the ratio $n/N$. Moreover, we obtain sharp bounds for both problems when the decay is of the type $ \exp({-t^{\alpha}})$ with $\alpha \in (0,2]$, extending the known case $\alpha\in[1, 2]$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Sequence-singular operators" by Gleb Sirotkin and Ben Wallis. Abstract: In this paper we study two types of collections of operators on a Banach space on the subject of forming operator ideals. One of the types allows us to construct an uncountable chain of closed ideals in each of the operator algebras $\mathcal{L}(\ell_1\oplus\ell_q)$, $1<q<\infty$, and $\mathcal{L}(\ell_1\oplus c_0)$. This finishes answering a longstanding question of Pietsch.

This is an announcement for the paper "Disjointly homogeneous Banach lattices and applications" by Julio Flores, Francisco L. Hernandez and Pedro Tradacete. Abstract: This is a survey on disjointly homogeneous Banach lattices and their applicactions. Several structural properties of this class are analyzed. In addition we show how these spaces provide a natural framework for studying the compactness of powers of operators allowing for a unified treatment of well-known results.
