This is an announcement for the paper “GÂteaux-Differentiability of Convex Functions in Infinite Dimension” by Mohammed Bachir<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Bachir_M/0/1/0/all/0/1> (UP1), Adrien Fabre<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Fabre_A/0/1/0/all/0/1>.
Abstract: It is well known that in $R^n$ , G{\^a}teaux (hence Fr{\'e}chet) differ-entiability of a convex continuous function at some point is equivalent to the existence of the partial derivatives at this point. We prove that this result extends naturally to certain infinite dimensional vector spaces, in particular to Banach spaces having a Schauder basis.

This is an announcement for the paper “On the metric compactification of infinite-dimensional Banach spaces” by Armando W. Gutiérrez<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Gutierrez_A/0/1/0/all/0/1>.
Abstract: The notion of metric compactification was introduced by Gromov and later rediscovered by Rieffel; and has been mainly studied on proper geodesic metric spaces. We present here a generalization of the metric compactification that can be applied to infinite-dimensional Banach spaces. Thereafter we give a complete description of the metric compactification of infinite-dimensional $\ell_p$ spaces for all $1\leq p<\infty$. We also give a full characterization of the metric compactification of infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper “Localizing Weak Convergence in $L_{\infty}$” by J F Toland<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Toland_J/0/1/0/all/0/1>.
Abstract: For a general measure space $(X, \sL, \l)$ the pointwise nature of weak convergence in $\Li$ is investigated using singular functionals analogous to $\d$-functions in the theory of continuous functions on topological spaces. The implications for pointwise behaviour in $X$ of weakly convergent sequences in $\Li$ are inferred and the composition mapping $u\mapsto F(u)$ is shown to be sequentially weakly continuous on $\Li$ when $F:\RR \to \RR$ is continuous. When $\sB$ is the Borel $\sigma$-algebra of a locally compact Hausdorff topological space $(X, \rho)$ and $f \in L_\infty(X, \sB, \l)^*$ is arbitrary, let $\nu$ be the finitely additive measure in the integral representation of $f$ on $L_\infty(X, \sB, \l)$, and let $\hat{\nu}$ be the Borel measure in the integral representation of $f$ restricted to $C_0(X, \rho)$. From a minimax formula for $\hat{\nu}$ in terms $\nu$ it emerges that when $(X, \rho)$ is not compact, $\hat{\nu}$ may be zero when $\nu$ is not, and the set of $\nu$ for which $\hat{\nu}$ has a singularity with respect to $\l$ can be characterised. Throughout, the relation between $\d$-functions and the analogous singular functionals on $\Li$ is explored and weak convergence in $L_\infty(X,\sB,\l)$ is localized about points of $(X_{\infty}, \rho_{\infty})$, the one-point compactification of $(X, \rho)$.

This is an announcement for the paper “Abstract Lorentz spaces and Köthe duality” by Anna Kamińska<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Kaminska_A/0/1/0/all/0/1>, Yves Raynaud<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Raynaud_Y/0/1/0/all/0/1>.
Abstract: Given a fully symmetric Banach function space $E$ and a decreasing positive weight $w$ on $I=(0, a), 0<a\leq\infty$, the generalized Lorentz space $\Lambda_{E, w}$ is defined as the symmetrization of the canonical copy $E_w$ of $E$ on the measure space associated with the weight. If $E$ is an Orlicz space then $\Lambda_{E, w}$ is an Orlicz-Lorentz space. An investigation of the K\"othe duality of these classes is developed that is parallel to preceding works on Orlicz-Lorentz spaces. First a class of functions $M_{E, w}$, which does not need to be even a linear space, is similarly defined as the symmetrization of the space $w.E_w$. Let also $Q_{E, w}$ be the smallest fully symmetric Banach function space containing $M_{E, w}$. Then the K\"othe dual of the class $M_{E, w}$ is identified as the Lorentz space $\Lambda_{E’, w}$, while the K\"othe dual of $\Lambda_{E, w}$ is Q_{E’, w}$. The space $Q_{E, w}$ is also characterized in terms of Halperin's level functions. These results are applied to concrete Banach function spaces. In particular the K\"othe duality of Orlicz-Lorentz spaces is revisited at the light of the new results.

This is an announcement for the paper “On the geometry of the Banach spaces $C([0, \alpha]\times K)$ for some scattered ♣-compacta” by Leandro Candido<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Candido_L/0/1/0/all/0/1>.
Abstract: For some non-metrizable scattered $K$ compacta, constructed under the assumption of the Ostaszewski's ♣-principle, we study the geometry of the Banach spaces of the form $C(M\times K)$ where $M$ is a countable compact metric space. In particular, we classify up to isomorphism all the complemented subspaces of $C([0, \omega]\times K)$ and $C([0, \omega^{\omega}]\times K)$.
