Abstract: Assume that $X$ is a Banach space of measurable functions for which Koml\'os' Theorem holds. We associate to any closed convex bounded subset $C$ of $X$ a coefficient $t(C)$which attains its minimum value when $C$ is closed for the topology of convergence in measure and we prove some fixed point results for affine Lipschitzian mappings, depending on the value of $t(C)\in {1, 2]$and the value of the Lipschitz constants of the iterates. As a first consequence, for every $L<2$, we deduce the existence of fixed points for affine uniformly $L$-Lipschitzian mappings defined on the closed unit ball of $L_1([0,1])$. Our main theorem also provides a wide collection of convex closed bounded sets in $L_1([0,1])$ and in some other spaces of functions, which satisfy the fixed point property for affine nonexpansive mappings. Furthermore, this property is still preserved by equivalent renormings when the Banach-Mazur distance is small enough. In particular, we prove that the failure of the fixed point property for affine nonexpansive mappings in $L_1(\mu)$ can only occur in the extremal case $t(C)=2$. Examples are displayed proving that our fixed point theorem is optimal in terms of the Lipschitz constants and the coefficient $t(C)$.

This is an announcement for the paper “When does $C(K, X)$ contain a complemented copy of $c_0(\Gamma)$ iff $X$ does?” by Elói Medina Galego<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Galego_E/0/1/0/all/0/1>, Vinícius Morelli Cortes<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Cortes_V/0/1/0/all/0/1>.
Abstract: Let $K$ be a compact Hausdorff space with weight $w(K)$, $\tau$ an infinite cardinal with cofinality $cf(\tau)>w(K)$ and $X$ a Banach space. In contrast with a classical theorem of Cembranos and Freniche it is shown that if $cf(\tau)>w(K)$ then the space $C(K, X)$ contains a complemented copy of $c_0(\Gamma)$ if and only if $X$ does.
This result is optimal for every infinite cardinal $\tau$, in the sense that it can not be improved by replacing the inequality $cf(\tau)>w(K)$ by another weaker than it.
