This is an announcement for the paper “Hilbert and Thompson geometries isometric to infinite-dimensional Banach spaces” by Cormac Walsh<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Walsh_C/0/1/0/all/0/1>. Abstract: We study the horofunction boundaries of Hilbert and Thompson geometries, and of Banach spaces, in arbitrary dimension. By comparing the boundaries of these spaces, we show that the only Hilbert and Thompson geometries that are isometric to Banach spaces are the ones defined on the cone of positive continuous functions on a compact space.

This is an announcement for the paper “Ball Intersection Properties in Metric Spaces ” by Benjamin Miesch<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Miesch_B/0/1/0/all/0/1>, Maël Pavón<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Pavon_M/0/1/0/all/0/1>. Abstract: We show that in complete metric spaces, $4$-hyperconvexity is equivalent to finite hyperconvexity. Moreover, every complete, almost $n$-hyperconvex metric space is $n$-hyperconvex. This generalizes among others results of Lindenstrauss and answers questions of Aronszajn-Panitchpakdi. Furthermore, we prove local-to-global results for externally and weakly externally hyperconvex subsets of hyperconvex metric spaces and find sufficient conditions in order for those classes of subsets to be convex with respect to a geodesic bicombing.

This is an announcement for the paper “Weak Compactness and Fixed Point Property for Affine Bi-Lipschitz Maps” by C. S. Barroso<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Barroso_C/0/1/0/all/0/1>, V. Ferreira<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Ferreira_V/0/1/0/all/0/1>. Abstract: In this paper we show that if $(y_n)$ is a seminormalized sequence in a Banach space which does not have any weakly convergent subsequence, then it contains a wide-(s) subsequence $(x_n)$ which admits an equivalent convex basic sequence. This fact is used to characterize weak-compactness of bounded, closed convex sets in terms of the generic fixed point property ($\mathcal{G}$-FPP) for the class of affine bi-Lipschitz maps. This result generalizes a theorem by Benavides, Jap\'on Pineda and Prus previously proved for the class of continuous maps. We also introduce a relaxation of this notion ($\mathcal{WG}$-FPP) and observe that a closed convex bounded subset of a Banach space is weakly compact iff it has the $\matcal{WG}$-FPP for affine $1$-Lipschitz maps. Related results are also proved. For example, a complete convex bounded subset $C$ of a Hlcs $X$ is weakly compact iff it has the $\mathcal{G}$-FPP for the class of affine continuous maps $f: C\rightarrow X$ with weak-approximate fixed point nets.

This is an announcement for the paper “Weakly Radon-Nikodým Boolean algebras and independent sequences” by Antonio Avilés<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Aviles_A/0/1/0/all/0/1>, Gonzalo Martínez-Cervantes<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Martinez_Cervantes_G/0/1/0/all/0/1>, Grzegorz Plebanek<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Plebanek_G/0/1/0/all/0/1>. Abstract: A compact space is said to be weakly Radon-Nikod\'{y}m (WRN) if it can be weak$^*$-embedded into the dual of a Banach space not containing $\ell_1$. We investigate WRN Boolean algebras, i.e. algebras whose Stone space is WRN compact. We show that the class of WRN algebras and the class of minimally generated algebras are incomparable. In particular, we construct a minimally generated nonWRN Boolean algebra whose Stone space is a separable Rosenthal compactum, answering in this way a question of W. Marciszewski. We also study questions of J. Rodr\'{i}guez and R. Haydon concerning measures and the existence of nontrivial convergent sequences on WRN compacta, obtaining partial results on some natural subclasses.

This is an announcement for the paper “A Spectral Characterization of Absolutely Norming Operators on S.N. Ideals” by Satish K. Pandey<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Pandey_S/0/1/0/all/0/1>. Abstract: The class of absolutely norming operators on complex Hilbert spaces of arbitrary dimensions was introduced in [6] and a spectral characterization theorem for these operators was established in [11]. In this paper we extend the concept of absolutely norming operators to various symmetric norms. We establish a few spectral characterization theorems for operators on complex Hilbert spaces to be absolutely norming with respect to various symmetric norms. It is also shown that for many symmetric norms the absolutely norming operators have the same spectral characterization as proven earlier in [11] for the class of operators that are absolutely norming with respect to the usual operator norm. Finally, we prove the existence of a symmetric norm on the algebra $B(H)$ with respect to which the even the identity operator does not attain its norm.

This is an announcement for the paper “Decomposition of functions between Banach spaces in the orthogonality equation” by Maysam Maysami Sadr<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Sadr_M/0/1/0/all/0/1>. Abstract: Let $E, F$ be Banach spaces. In the case that $F$ is reflexive we give a description for the solutions $(f, g)$ of the Banach-orthogonality equation $$\langle f(x), g(\alpha) \rangle=\langle x, \alpha \rangle, \forall x\i E, \alpha\in E^*$$, where $f: E\rightarrow F, g: E^*\rightarrow F^*$ are two maps. Our result generalizes the recent result of {\L}ukasik and W\'{o}jcik in the case that $E$ and $F$ are Hilbert spaces.
