This is an announcement for the paper “Unconditionally p-converging operators and Dunford-Pettis Property of order $p$” by Dongyang Chen<http://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Chen_D/0/1/0/all/0/1>, J. Alejandro Chávez-Domínguez<http://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Ch%7Ba%7Dvez_Dom%7Bi%7Dnguez_J/0/1/0/all/0…>, Lei Li<http://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Li_L/0/1/0/all/0/1>.
Abstract: In the present paper we study unconditionally $p$-converging operators and Dunford-Pettis property of order $p$. New characterizations of unconditionally $p$-converging operators and Dunford-Pettis property of order $p$ are established. Six quantities are defined to measure how far an operator is from being unconditionally $p$-converging. We prove quantitative versions of relationships of completely continuous operators,unconditionally $p$-converging operators and unconditionally converging operators. We further investigate possible quantifications of the Dunford-Pettis property of order $p$.

This is an announcement for the paper “Smooth surjections and surjective restrictions” by Richard M. Aron<http://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Aron_R/0/1/0/all/0/1>, Jesús A. Jaramillo<http://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Jaramillo_J/0/1/0/all/0/1>, Enrico Le Donne<http://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Donne_E/0/1/0/all/0/1>.
Abstract: Given a surjective mapping $f: E\rightarrow F$ between Banach spaces, we investigate the existence of a subspace $G$ of $E$, with the same density character as $F$, such that the restriction of $f$ to $G$ remains surjective. We obtain a positive answer whenever $f$ is continuous and uniformly open. In the smooth case, we deduce a positive answer when $f$ is a $C_1$ -smooth surjection whose set of critical values is countable. Finally we show that, when $f$ takes values in the Euclidean space $R_n$, in order to obtain this result it is not sufficient to assume that the set of critical values of $f$ has zero-measure.

This is an announcement for the paper “Unbounded Disjointness Preserving Linear Functionals and Operators” by Anton R Schep<http://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Schep_A/0/1/0/all/0/1>.
Abstract: Let $E$ and $F$ be Banach lattices. We show first that the disjointness preserving linear functionals separate the points of any infinite dimensional Banach lattice $E$, which shows that in this case the unbounded disjointness operators from $E\rightarrow F$ separate the points of $E$. Then we show that every disjointness preserving operator $T: E\rightarrow F$ is norm bounded on an order dense ideal. In case $E$ has order continuous norm, this implies that that every unbounded disjointness preserving map $T: E\rightarrow F$ has a unique decomposition $T=R+S$, where $R$ is a bounded disjointness preserving operator and $S$ is an unbounded disjointness preserving operator, which is zero on a norm dense ideal. For the case that $E=C(X)$ with $X$ a compact Hausdorff space, we show that every disjointness preserving operator $T: C(X)\rightarrow F$ is norm bounded on an norm dense sublattice algebra of $C(X)$, which leads then to a decomposition of $T$ into a bounded disjointness operator and a finite sum of unbounded disjointness preserving operators, which are zero on order dense ideals.

This is an announcement for the paper “$\xi$-asymptotically uniformly smooth, $\xi$--asymptotically uniformly convex, and $(\beta)$-operators” by Ryan M. Causey<http://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Causey_R/0/1/0/all/0/1>, Stephen J. Dilworth<http://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Dilworth_S/0/1/0/all/0/1>.
Abstract: For each ordinal $\xi$, we define the notions of $\xi$-asymptotically uniformly smooth and $w^*$-$\xi$-asymptotically uniformly convex operators. When $\xi=0$, these extend the notions of asymptotically uniformly smooth and $w^*$-asymptotically uniformly convex Banach spaces. We give a complete description of renorming results for these properties in terms of the Szlenk index of the operator, as well as a complete description of the duality between these two properties. We also define the notion of an operator with property $(\beta)$ of Rolewicz which extends the notion of property $(\beta)$ for a Banach space. We characterize those operators the domain and range of which can be renormed so that the operator has property $(\beta)$ in terms of the Szlenk index of the operator and its adjoint.
