Dear Colleagues, The Analysis group at Kent State University is happy to announce a meeting of the Informal Analysis Seminar, which will be held at the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Kent State University, February 24-25. The seminar will feature plenary speakers Robert Connelly (Cornell University), and Peter Sternberg (Indiana University) Each speaker will deliver a four hour lecture series designed to be accessible for graduate students. Funding is available to cover the local and travel expenses of a limited number of participants. Graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and members of underrepresented groups are particularly encouraged to apply for support. A poster session will be held for researchers to display their work. Graduate students are particularly encouraged to submit a poster. Posters can be submitted electronically in PDF format. Further information, and an online registration form, can be found online http://www.math.kent.edu/informal We encourage you to register as soon as possible, but to receive support and/or help with hotel reservation, please register before January 29, 2018. Finally, please feel free to forward this email to any colleagues or students who you think may be interested in attending. Best regards, The Kent State Analysis Group

This is an announcement for the paper “Valuations on Banach lattices” by Pedro Tradacete<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Tradacete_P/0/1/0/all/0/1>, Ignacio Villanueva<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Villanueva_I/0/1/0/all/0/1>. Abstract: We provide a general framework for the study of valuations on Banach lattices. This complements and expands several recent works about valuations on function spaces, including $L_p(\mu)$, Orlicz spaces and spaces $C(K)$ of continuous functions on a compact Hausdorff space. In particular, we study decomposition properties, boundedness and integral representation of continuous valuations.

This is an announcement for the paper “Symmetrically separated sequences in the unit sphere of a Banach space” by Petr Hájek<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Hajek_P/0/1/0/all/0/1>, Tomasz Kania<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Kania_T/0/1/0/all/0/1>, Tommaso Russo<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Russo_T/0/1/0/all/0/1>. Abstract: We prove the symmetric version of Kottman's theorem, that is to say, we demonstrate that the unit sphere of an infinite-dimensional Banach space contains an infinite subset $A$ with the property that $\|x\pm y\|>1$ for distinct elements $x, y\in A$, thereby answering a question of J. M. F. Castillo. In the case where $X$ contains an unconditional basic sequence, the set $A$ may be chosen in a way that $\|x\pm y\|>1+\epsilon$ for some $\epsilon>0$ and distinct $x, y\in A$. Under additional structural properties of $X$, such as non-trivial cotype, we obtain quantitative estimates for the said $\epsilon$. Certain renorming results are also presented.

This is an announcement for the paper “Light groups of isomorphisms of Banach spaces and invariant LUR renormings” by Leandro Antunes<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Antunes_L/0/1/0/all/0/1>, Valentin Ferenczi<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Ferenczi_V/0/1/0/all/0/1>, Sophie Grivaux<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Grivaux_S/0/1/0/all/0/1>, Christian Rosendal<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Rosendal_C/0/1/0/all/0/1>. Abstract: Megrelishvili defines \emph{light groups} of isomorphisms of a Banach space as the groups on which the Weak and Strong Operator Topologies coincide, and proves that every bounded group of isomorphisms of Banach spaces with the Point of Continuity Property (PCP) is light. We investigate this concept for isomorphism groups $G$ of classical Banach spaces $X$ without the PCP, specially isometry groups, and relate it to the existence of $G$-invariant LUR or strictly convex renormings of $X$.

This is an announcement for the paper “The isomorphism class of c0 is not Borel” by Ondřej Kurka<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Kurka_O/0/1/0/all/0/1>. Abstract: We show that the class of all Banach spaces which are isomorphic to $c_0$ is a complete analytic set with respect to the Effros Borel structure of separable Banach spaces. The proof employs a recent Bourgain-Delbaen construction by Argyros, Gasparis and Motakis. The paper may be downloaded from the archive by web browser from URL https://arxiv.org/abs/1711.03328

This is an announcement for the paper “Extremal Banach-Mazur distance between a symmetric convex body and an arbitrary convex body on the plane” by Tomasz Kobos<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Kobos_T/0/1/0/all/0/1>. Abstract: We prove that if $K, L\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ are convex bodies such that $L$ is symmetric and the Banach-Mazur distance between $K$ and $L$ is equal to $2$, then $K$ is the triangle.

This is an announcement for the paper “Non-expansive bijections to the unit ball of $\ell_1$-sum of strictly convex Banach spaces” by Vladimir Kadets<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Kadets_V/0/1/0/all/0/1>, Olesia Zavarzina<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Zavarzina_O/0/1/0/all/0/1>. Abstract: Extending recent results by Cascales, Kadets, Orihuela and Wingler (2016), Kadets and Zavarzina (2017), and Zavarzina (2017) we demonstrate that for every Banach space $X$ and every collection $Z_i, i\in I$ of strictly convex Banach spaces every non-expansive bijection from the unit ball of $X$ to the unit ball of sum of $Z_i$ by $\ell_1$ is an isometry.
