This is an announcement for the paper "The generalized roundness
of $\ell_\infty^{(3)}$ revisited" by Ian Doust, Stephen Sanchez and
Anthony Weston.
Abstract: Metric spaces of generalized roundness zero have interesting
non-embedding properties. For instance, we note that no metric space of
generalized roundness zero is isometric to any metric subspace of any
$L_{p}$-space for which $0 < p \leq 2$. Lennard, Tonge and Weston gave
an indirect proof that $\ell_{\infty}^{(3)}$ has generalized roundness
zero by appealing to highly non-trivial isometric embedding theorems
of Bretagnolle Dacunha-Castelle and Krivine, and Misiewicz. In this
paper we give a direct proof that $\ell_{\infty}^{(3)}$ has generalized
roundness zero. This provides insight into the combinatorial geometry of
$\ell_{\infty}^{(3)}$ that causes the generalized roundness inequalities
to fail. We complete the paper by noting a characterization of real
quasi-normed spaces of generalized roundness zero.

This is an announcement for the paper "Geometry of Banach spaces with
an octahedral norm" by Rainis Haller and Johann Langemets.
Abstract: We discuss the geometry of Banach spaces whose norm is
octahedral or, more generally, locally or weakly octahedral. Our main
results characterize these spaces in terms of covering of the unit ball.

This is an announcement for the paper "Strong property (T) for higher
rank simple Lie groups" by Tim de Laat and Mikael de la Salle.
Abstract: We prove that connected higher rank simple Lie groups have
Lafforgue's strong property (T) with respect to a certain class of Banach
spaces $\mathcal{E}_{10}$ containing many classical superreflexive
spaces and some non-reflexive spaces as well. This generalizes the
result of Lafforgue asserting that $\mathrm{SL}(3,\mathbb{R})$ has strong
property (T) with respect to Hilbert spaces and the more recent result
of the second named author asserting that $\mathrm{SL}(3,\mathbb{R})$
has strong property (T) with respect to a certain larger class of
Banach spaces. For the generalization to higher rank groups, it is
sufficient to prove strong property (T) for $\mathrm{Sp}(2,\mathbb{R})$
and its universal covering group. As consequences of our main result,
it follows that for $X \in \mathcal{E}_{10}$, connected higher rank
simple Lie groups and their lattices have property (F$_X$) of Bader,
Furman, Gelander and Monod, and the expanders contructed from a lattice
in such a group do not admit a coarse embedding into $X$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Continuous selections of
multivalued mappings" by Dusan Repovs and Pavel V. Semenov.
Abstract: This survey covers in our opinion the most important
results in the theory of continuous selections of multivalued mappings
(approximately) from 2002 through 2012. It extends and continues our
previous such survey which appeared in Recent Progress in General
Topology, II, which was published in 2002. In comparison, our present
survey considers more restricted and specific areas of mathematics. Note
that we do not consider the theory of selectors (i.e. continuous choices
of elements from subsets of topological spaces) since this topics is
covered by another survey in this volume.

This is an announcement for the paper "Hyper-extensions in metric fixed
point theory" by Andrzej Wisnicki.
Abstract: We apply a modern axiomatic system of nonstandard analysis in
metric fixed point theory. In particular, we formulate a nonstandard
iteration scheme for nonexpansive mappings and present a nonstandard
approach to fixed-point problems in direct sums of Banach spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "A complete classification of
the spaces of compact operators on C([1,alpha], l_p) spaces, 1<p<
infinity" by Dale E. Alspach and Eloi Medina Galego.
Abstract: We complete the classification, up to isomorphism, of the spaces
of compact operators on C([1, gamma], l_p) spaces, 1<p< infinity. In
order to do this, we classify, up to isomorphism, the spaces of compact
operators {\mathcal K}(E, F), where E= C([1, lambda], l_p) and F=C([1,xi],
l_q) for arbitrary ordinals lambda and xi and 1< p \leq q< infinity.
More precisely, we prove that it is relatively consistent with ZFC
that for any infinite ordinals lambda, mu, xi and eta the following
statements are equivalent:
(a) {\mathcal K}(C([1, lambda], l_p), C([1, xi], l_q)) is isomorphic to
{\mathcal K}(C([1, mu], l_p), C([1, eta], l_q)) .
(b) lambda and mu have the same cardinality and C([1,xi]) is
isomorphic to C([1, eta]) or there exists an uncountable regular ordinal
alpha and 1 \leq m, n < omega such that C([1, xi]) is isomorphic to C([1,
alpha m]) and C([1,eta]) is isomorphic to C([1, alpha n]).
Moreover, in ZFC, if lambda and mu are finite ordinals and xi and
eta are infinite ordinals then the statements (a) and (b') are equivalent.
(b') C([1,xi]) is isomorphic to C([1, eta]) or there exists an
uncountable regular ordinal alpha and 1 \leq m, n \leq omega such that
C([1, xi]) is isomorphic to C([1, alpha m]) and C([1,eta]) is isomorphic
to C([1, alpha n]).

This is an announcement for the paper "Non-existence of greedy bases
in direct sums of mixed $\ell_{p}$ spaces" by Fernando Albiac and Jose
L. Ansorena.
Abstract: The fact that finite direct sums of two or more mutually
different spaces from the family $\{\ell_{p} : 1\le p<\infty\}\cup c_{0}$
fail to have greedy bases is stated in [Dilworth et al., Greedy bases
for Besov spaces, Constr. Approx. 34 (2011), no. 2, 281-296]. However,
the concise proof that the authors give of this fundamental result
in greedy approximation relies on a fallacious argument, namely the
alleged uniqueness of unconditional basis up to permutation of the
spaces involved. The main goal of this note is to settle the problem by
providing a correct proof. For that we first show that all greedy bases
in an $\ell_{p}$ space have fundamental functions of the same order. As
a by-product of our work we obtain that {\it every} almost greedy basis
of a Banach space with unconditional basis and nontrivial type contains
a greedy subbasis.

This is an announcement for the paper "A Lindenstrauss theorem for
some classes of multilinear mappings" by D. Carando, S. Lassalle, and
M. Mazzitelli.
Abstract: Under some natural hypotheses, we show that if a multilinear
mapping belongs to some Banach multlinear ideal, then it can be
approximated by multilinear mappings belonging to the same ideal whose
Arens extensions simultaneously attain their norms. We also consider
the class of symmetric multilinear mappings.
