This is an announcement for the paper “General volumes in the Orlicz-Brunn-Minkowski theory and a related Minkowski Problem II” by Richard J. Gardner<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Gardner%2C+R+J>, Daniel Hug<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Hug%2C+D>, Sudan Xing<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Xing%2C+S>, Deping Ye<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Ye%2C+D>.
Abstract: The general dual volume $\dveV(K)$ and the general dual Orlicz curvature measure $\deV(K, \cdot)$ were recently introduced for functions $G: (0, \infty)\times \sphere\rightarrow (0, \infty)$ and convex bodies $K$ in $\R^n$ containing the origin in their interiors. We extend $\dveV(K)$ and $\deV(K, \cdot)$ to more general functions $G: [0, \infty)\times \sphere\rightarrow [0, \infty)$ and to compact convex sets $K$ containing the origin (but not necessarily in their interiors). Some basic properties of the general dual volume and of the dual Orlicz curvature measure, such as the continuous dependence on the underlying set, are provided. These are required to study a Minkowski-type problem for the dual Orlicz curvature measure. We mainly focus on the case when $G$ and $\psi$ are both increasing, thus complementing our previous work.
The Minkowski problem asks to characterize Borel measures $\mu$ on $\sphere$ for which there is a convex body $K$ in $\R^n$ containing the origin such that $\mu$ equals $\deV(K, \cdot)$, up to a constant. A major step in the analysis concerns discrete measures $\mu$, for which we prove the existence of convex polytopes containing the origin in their interiors solving the Minkowski problem. For general (not necessarily discrete) measures $\mu$, we use an approximation argument. This approach is also applied to the case where $G$ is decreasing and $\psi$ is increasing, and hence augments our previous work. When the measures $\mu$ are even, solutions that are origin-symmetric convex bodies are also provided under some mild conditions on $G$ and $\psi$. Our results generalize several previous works and provide more precise information about the solutions of the Minkowski problem when $\mu$ is discrete or even.

This is an announcement for the paper “Isomorphisms between spaces of Lipschitz functions” by Leandro Candido<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Candido%2C+L>, Marek Cúth<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=C%C3%BAth%2C+M>, Michal Doucha<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Doucha%2C+M>.
Abstract: We develop tools for proving isomorphisms of normed spaces of Lipschitz functions over various doubling metric spaces and Banach spaces. In particular, we show that $\operatorname{Lip}_0(\mathbb{Z}^d)\simeq\operatorname{Lip}_0(\mathbb{R}^d)$, for all $d\in\mathbb{N}$. More generally, we e.g. show that $\operatorname{Lip}_0(\Gamma)\simeq \operatorname{Lip}_0(G)$, where $\Gamma$ is from a large class of finitely generated nilpotent groups and $G$ is its Mal'cev closure; or that $\operatorname{Lip}_0(\ell_p)\simeq\operatorname{Lip}_0(L_p)$, for all $1\leq p<\infty$.
We leave a large area for further possible research.

This is an announcement for the paper “Dunford--Pettis type properties and the Grothendieck property for function spaces” by Saak Gabriyelyan<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Gabriyelyan%2C+S>, Jerzy Kcakol<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Kcakol%2C+J>.
Abstract: For a Tychonoff space $X$, let $C_k(X)$ and $C_p(X)$ be the spaces of real-valued continuous functions $C(X)$ on $X$ endowed with the compact-open topology and the pointwise topology, respectively. If $X$ is compact, the classic result of A.~Grothendieck states that $C_k(X)$ has the Dunford-Pettis property and the sequential Dunford--Pettis property. We extend Grothendieck's result by showing that $C_k(X)$ has both the Dunford-Pettis property and the sequential Dunford-Pettis property if $X$ satisfies one of the following conditions: (i) $X$ is a hemicompact space, (ii) $X$ is a cosmic space (=a continuous image of a separable metrizable space), (iii) $X$ is the ordinal space $[0,\kappa)$ for some ordinal $\kappa$, or (vi) $X$ is a locally compact paracompact space. We show that if $X$ is a cosmic space, then $C_k(X)$ has the Grothendieck property if and only if every functionally bounded subset of $X$ is finite. We prove that $C_p(X)$ has the Dunford--Pettis property and the sequential Dunford-Pettis property for every Tychonoff space $X$, and $C_p(X) $ has the Grothendieck property if and only if every functionally bounded subset of $X$ is finite.

This is an announcement for the paper “Primarity of direct sums of Orlicz spaces and Marcinkiewicz spaces” by Jose L. Ansorena<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Ansorena%2C+J+L>.
Abstract: Let $\mathbb{Y}$ be either an Orlicz sequence space or a Marcinkiewicz sequence space. We take advantage of the recent advances in the theory of factorization of the identity carried on in [R. Lechner, Subsymmetric weak* Schauder bases and factorization of the identity, arXiv:1804.01372<https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.01372> [math.FA]] to provide conditions on $\mathbb{Y}$ that ensure that, for any $1\le p\le\infty$, the infinite direct sum of $\mathbb{Y}$ in the sense of $\ell_p$ is a primary Banach space, enlarging this way the list of Banach spaces that are known to be primary.

This is an announcement for the paper “Weight-partially greedy bases and weight-Property $(A)$” by Divya Khurana<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Khurana%2C+D>.
Abstract: In this paper, motivated by the notion of $w$-Property $(A)$ defined in [2], we introduce the notions of $w$-left Property $(A)$ and $w$-right Property $(A)$. We also introduce the notions of $w$-partially greedy basis (using a characterization of partially greedy basis from [4]) and $w$-reverse partially greedy basis. The main aim of this paper is to study $(i)$ some characterizations of $w$-partially greedy and $w$-reverse partially greedy basis $(ii)$ conditions on the weight sequences when $w$-left Property $(A)$ and (or) $w$-right Property $(A)$ implies $w$-Property $(A)$.

This is an announcement for the paper “On the numerical index of polyhedral Banach spaces” by Debmalya Sain<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Sain%2C+D>, Kallol Paul<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Paul%2C+K>, Pintu Bhunia<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Bhunia%2C+P>, Santanu Bag<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Bag%2C+S>.
Abstract: We present a general method to estimate the numerical index of any finite-dimensional real polyhedral Banach space, by considering the action of only finitely many functionals on the unit sphere of the space. As an application of our study, we explicitly compute the exact numerical index of the family of $3$-dimensional polyhedral Banach spaces whose unit balls are prisms with regular polygons as its base. Our results generalize some of the earlier results regarding the computation of the exact numerical index of certain $2$-dimensional polyhedral Banach spaces having regular polygons as the unit balls. We further estimate the numerical index of two particular families of $3$-dimensional polyhedral Banach spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper “A Local Hahn-Banach Theorem and Its Applications” by Niushan Gao<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Gao%2C+N>, Denny H. Leung<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Leung%2C+D+H>, Foivos Xanthos<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Xanthos%2C+F>.
Abstract: An important consequence of the Hahn-Banach Theorem says that on any locally convex Hausdorff topological space $X$, there are sufficiently many continuous linear functionals to separate points of $X$. In the paper, we establish a `local' version of this theorem. The result is applied to study the uo-dual of a Banach lattice that was recently introduced in [3]. We also provide a simplified approach to the measure-free characterization of uniform integrability established in [8].
