This is an announcement for the paper “On extremal sections of subspaces of $L_p$” by Alexandros Eskenazis<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Eskenazis%2C+A>.
Abstract: Let $m,n\in\mathbb{N}$ and $p\in(0,\infty)$. For a finite dimensional quasi-normed space $X=(\mathbb{R}^m, \|\cdot\|_X)$, let $$B_p^n(X) = \Big\{ (x_1,\ldots,x_n)\in\big(\mathbb{R}^{m}\big)^n: \ \sum_{i=1}^n \|x_i\|_X^p \leq 1\Big\}.$$ We show that for every $p\in(0,2)$ and $X$ which admits an isometric embedding into $L_p$, the function $$S^{n-1} \ni \theta = (\theta_1,\ldots,\theta_n) \longmapsto \Big| B_p^n(X) \cap\Big\{(x_1,\ldots,x_n)\in \big(\mathbb{R}^{m}\big)^n: \ \sum_{i=1}^n \theta_i x_i=0 \Big\} \Big|$$ is a Schur convex function of $(\theta_1^2,\ldots,\theta_n^2)$, where $|\cdot|$ denotes the Lebesgue measure. In particular, it is minimized when $\theta=\big(\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}},\ldots,\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}\big)$ and maximized when $\theta=(1,0,\ldots,0)$. This is a consequence of a more general statement about Laplace transforms of norms of suitable Gaussian random vectors which also implies dual estimates for the mean width of projections of the polar body $\big(B_p^n(X)\big)^\circ$ if the unit ball $B_X$ of $X$ is in Lewis' position. Finally, we prove a lower bound for the volume of projections of $B_\infty^n(X)$, where $X=(\mathbb{R}^m,\|\cdot\|_X)$ is an arbitrary quasi-normed space.

This is an announcement for the paper “Banach spaces where convex combinations of relatively weakly open subsets of the unit ball are relatively weakly open” by Trond Arnold Abrahamsen<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Abrahamsen%2C+T+A>, Julio Becerra Guerrero<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Guerrero%2C+J+B>, Rainis Haller<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Haller%2C+R>, Vegard Lima<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Lima%2C+V>, Märt Põldvere<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=P%C3%B5ldvere%2C+M>.
Abstract: We introduce and study Banach spaces which have property CWO, i.e., every finite convex combination of relatively weakly open subsets of their unit ball is open in the relative weak topology of the unit ball. Stability results of such spaces are established, and we introduce and discuss a geometric condition---property (co)---on a Banach space. Property (co) essentially says that the operation of taking convex combinations of elements of the unit ball is, in a sense, an open map. We show that if a finite dimensional Banach space $X$ has property (co), then for any scattered locally compact Hausdorff space $K$, the space $C_0(K,X)$ of continuous $X$-valued functions vanishing at infinity has property CWO. Several Banach spaces are proved to possess this geometric property; among others: 2-dimensional real spaces, finite dimensional strictly convex spaces, finite dimensional polyhedral spaces, and the complex space $\ell_1^n$. In contrast to this, we provide an example of a $3$-dimensional real Banach space $X$ for which $C_0(K,X)$ fails to have property CWO. We also show that $c_0$-sums of finite dimensional Banach spaces with property (co) have property CWO. In particular, this provides examples of such spaces outside the class of $C_0(K,X)$-spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper “On integration in Banach spaces and total sets” by José Rodríguez<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Rodr%C3%ADguez%2C+J>.
Abstract: Let $X$ be a Banach space and $\Gamma \subseteq X^*$ a total linear subspace. We study the concept of $\Gamma$-integrability for $X$-valued functions $f$ defined on a complete probability space, i.e. an analogue of Pettis integrability by dealing only with the compositions $\langle x^*,f \rangle$ for $x^*\in \Gamma$. We show that $\Gamma$-integrability and Pettis integrability are equivalent whenever $X$ has Plichko's property ($\mathcal{D}'$) (meaning that every $w^*$-sequentially closed subspace of $X^*$ is $w^*$-closed). This property is enjoyed by many Banach spaces including all spaces with $w^*$-angelic dual as well as all spaces which are $w^*$-sequentially dense in their bidual. A particular case of special interest arises when considering $\Gamma=T^*(Y^*)$ for some injective operator $T:X \to Y$. Within this framework, we show that if $T:X \to Y$ is a semi-embedding, $X$ has property ($\mathcal{D}'$) and $Y$ has the Radon-Nikod\'{y}m property, then $X$ has the weak Radon-Nikod\'{y}m property. This extends earlier results by Delbaen (for separable $X$) and Diestel and Uhl (for weakly $\mathcal{K}$-analytic $X$).

This is an announcement for the paper “The Bishop-Phelps-Bollobás property and absolute sums” by Yun Sung Choi<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Choi%2C+Y+S>, Sheldon Dantas<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Dantas%2C+S>, Mingu Jung<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Jung%2C+M>, Miguel Martín<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Mart%C3%ADn%2C+M>.
Abstract: In this paper we study conditions assuring that the Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'as property (BPBp, for short) is inherited by absolute summands of the range space or of the domain space. Concretely, given a pair (X, Y) of Banach spaces having the BPBp, (a) if Y1 is an absolute summand of Y, then (X, Y1) has the BPBp; (b) if X1 is an absolute summand of X of type 1 or \infty, then (X1, Y) has the BPBp. Besides, analogous results for the BPBp for compact operators and for the density of norm attaining operators are also given. We also show that the Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'as property for numerical radius is inherited by absolute summands of type 1 or \infty. Moreover, we provide analogous results for numerical radius attaining operators and for the BPBp for numerical radius for compact operators.

This is an announcement for the paper “The free Banach lattices generated by $\ell_p$ and $c_0$” by Antonio Avilés<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Avil%C3%A9s%2C+A>, Pedro Tradacete<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Tradacete%2C+P>, Ignacio Villanueva<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Villanueva%2C+I>.
Abstract: We prove that, when $2<p<\infty$, in the free Banach lattice generated by $\ell_p$ (respectively by $c_0$), the absolute values of the canonical basis form an $\ell_r$-sequence, where $\frac{1}{r} = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{p}$ (respectively an $\ell_2$-sequence). In particular, in any Banach lattice, the absolute values of any $\ell_p$ sequence always have an upper $\ell_r$-estimate. Quite surprisingly, this implies that the free Banach lattices generated by the nonseparable $\ell_p(\Gamma)$ for $2<p<\infty$, as well as $c_0(\Gamma)$, are weakly compactly generated whereas this is not the case for $1\leq p\leq 2$.

This is an announcement for the paper “Closed ideals of operators acting on some families of sequence spaces” by Ben Wallis<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Wallis%2C+B>.
Abstract: We study the lattice of closed ideals in the algebra of continuous linear operators acting on $p$th Tandori and $p'$th Ces\`{a}ro sequence spaces, $1\leqslant p<\infty$, which we show are isomorphic to the classical sequence spaces $(\oplus_{n=1}^\infty\ell_\infty^n)_p$ and $(\oplus_{n=1}^\infty\ell_1^n)_{p'}$, respectively. We also show that Tandori sequence spaces are complemented in certain Lorentz sequence spaces, and that the lattice of closed ideals for certain other Lorentz and Garling sequence spaces has infinite cardinality.
