Dear all, The next Banach spaces webinar is on Friday July 3 9AM CDT (e.g., Dallas, TX time). Please join us at https://unt.zoom.us/j/512907580 Speaker: Gilles Lancien (Laboratoire de Mathématiques de Besançon) Title: Kalton's interlacing graphs and embeddings into dual Banach spaces Abstract. A fundamental theorem of Aharoni (1974) states that every separable metric spaces bi-Lipschitz embeds into $c_0$. It is a major open question to know whether any Banach space containing a Lipschitz copy of $c_0$ must contain a subspace linearly isomorphic to $c_0$. In this talk, we will consider similar questions in relation with the weaker notion of coarse embeddings. In a paper published in 2007, a major step was taken by Nigel Kalton, who showed that a Banach space containing a coarse copy of $c_0$ cannot have all its iterated duals separable (in particular it cannot be reflexive). However, it is still unknown whether such a space can be a separable dual. In this talk, we will discuss some aspects of this question. Kalton's argument is based on the use of a special family of metric graphs that we call Kalton's interlacing graphs. We will give results about dual spaces containing equi-Lipschitz or equi-coarse copies of these graphs, in relation with the Szlenk index, and show their optimality. This is a joint work with B. de Mendonça Braga, C. Petitjean and A. Procházka. * For more information about the past and future talks, and videos please visit the webinar website http://www.math.unt.edu/~bunyamin/banach Upcoming schedule July 10: Niels Laustsen (Lancaster University) Thank you, and best regards, Bunyamin Sari

Dear all, The next Banach spaces webinar is on Friday June 26 9AM CDT (e.g., Dallas, TX time). Please join us at https://unt.zoom.us/j/512907580 Speaker: Bruno Braga (University of Virginia) Title: Bringing uniform Roe algebras to Banach space theory Abstract. Given a metric space $X$, the uniform Roe algebra of $X$, denoted by $C^*_u(X)$, is a $C^*$-algebra which encodes many of $X$'s large scale geometric properties. In this talk, I will give an introduction on those objects and give an overview of the current state of the literature on questions related to rigidity of uniform Roe algebras (i.e., on how much of the large scale geometry of a metric space is encoded in its uniform Roe algebra). The second half of the talk will focus on bringing these mathematical objects to the context of Banach space/lattice theory. * For more information about the past and future talks, and videos please visit the webinar website http://www.math.unt.edu/~bunyamin/banach Upcoming schedule July 3: Gilles Lancien (Besançon) Thank you, and best regards, Bunyamin Sari

Dear all, The next Banach spaces webinar is on Friday June 19 9AM CDT (e.g., Dallas, TX time). Please join us at https://unt.zoom.us/j/512907580 Speaker: Christian Rosendal (University of Illinois and NSF) Title: Two applications of Arens-Eells spaces to geometric group theory and abstract harmonic analysis Abstract. Arens-Eells spaces (aka Lipschitz free spaces or transportation cost spaces) give rise to interesting examples of Banach spaces and provide analytic techniques within Banach space geometry, but are also of importance as a tool for analysing objects outside Banach space theory using functional analytical techniques. I will present two such uses. The first is to abstract harmonic analysis where Arens-Eells spaces can be used to provide a very simple conceptual proof of a recent characterisation of amenability of topological groups due to F. M. Schneider and A. Thom. The second application is to the geometric study of topological groups, namely, to establish the Gromov correspondence between coarse equivalence and topological couplings in the widest possible setting. Time permitting, we also discuss some application of the harmonic analytical tools to the non-linear geometry of Banach spaces. * For more information about the past and future talks, and videos please visit the webinar website http://www.math.unt.edu/~bunyamin/banach Upcoming schedule June 26: Bruno Braga (University of Virginia) Thank you, and best regards, Bunyamin Sari

Dear all, The next Banach spaces webinar is on Friday June 12 9AM CDT (e.g., Dallas, TX time). Please join us at https://unt.zoom.us/j/512907580 Speaker: Noé de Rancourt (Kurt Gödel Research Center) Title: Local Banach-space dichotomies Abstract. I will present some results of a recent joint preprint with Wilson Cuellar Carrera and Valentin Ferenczi.<https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.06458> These results are generalizations of Banach-space dichotomies due to Gowers and to Ferenczi–Rosendal; the original dichotomies aimed at building a classification of separable Banach spaces "up to subspaces". Our generalizations are "local versions" of the original dichotomies, that is, we ensure that the outcome space can be taken in a prescribed family of subspaces. One of the most interesting examples of such a family is the family of all non-Hilbertian Banach spaces; hence, our results are a first step towards a classification of non-Hilbertian, $\ell_2$-saturated Banach spaces, up to subspaces. If time permits, I will present some applications of our work to a conjecture by Ferenczi and Rosendal about the number of subspaces of a separable Banach space. * For more information about the past and future talks, and videos please visit the webinar website http://www.math.unt.edu/~bunyamin/banach Upcoming schedule June 19: Christian Rosendal, University of Illinois at Chicago and NSF Thank you, and best regards, Bunyamin Sari

Dear all, The next Banach spaces webinar is on Friday June 5 9AM CDT (e.g., Dallas, TX time). Please join us at https://unt.zoom.us/j/512907580 Speaker: Denny Leung, National University of Singapore Title: Local convexity in $L^0$. Abstract. Let $(\Omega,\Sigma,\bP)$ be a nonatomic probability space and let $L^0(\Omega,\Sigma,\bP)$ be the space of all measurable functions on $(\Omega,\Sigma,\bP)$. We present some results characterizing the convex sets in $L^0$ that are locally convex with respect to the topology of convergence in measure. The work is motivated by results of Kardaras & Zitkovic (PAMS 2013) and Kardaras (JFA 2014) and is relevant to mathematical economics/finance. The talk is based on joint work with Niushan Gao and Foivos Xanthos: * A local Hahn-Banach Theorem and its applications, Arch. Math., 112(2019), 521-529. https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.01795 * On local convexity in $L^0$ and switching probability measures. https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.00992 * For more information about the past and future talks, and videos please visit the webinar website http://www.math.unt.edu/~bunyamin/banach Upcoming schedule June 12: Noé de Rancourt, Kurt Gödel Research Center Thank you, and best regards, Bunyamin
