This is an announcement for the paper "Explicit Euclidean embeddings in
permutation invariant normed spaces" by Daniel Fresen.
Abstract: Let $(X,\left\Vert \cdot \right\Vert )$ be a real normed
space of dimension $N\in \mathbb{N}$ with a basis $(e_{i})_{1}^{N}$
such that the norm is invariant under coordinate permutations. Assume
for simplicity that the basis constant is at most $2$. Consider any $n\in
\mathbb{N}$ and $0<\varepsilon <1/4$ such that $n\leq c(\log \varepsilon
^{-1})^{-1}\log N$. We provide an explicit construction of a matrix that
generates a $(1+\varepsilon )$ embedding of $\ell _{2}^{n}$ into $X$.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the Bishop-Phelps-Bollobas
property for numerical radius" by Sun Kwang Kim, Han Ju Lee and Miguel
Martin.
Abstract: We study the Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'as property for numerical
radius (in short, BPBp-$\nuu$) and find sufficient conditions for
Banach spaces ensuring the BPBp-$\nuu$. Among other results, we show
that $L_1(\mu)$-spaces have this property for every measure $\mu$. On
the other hand, we show that every infinite-dimensional separable Banach
space can be renormed to fail the BPBp-$\nuu$. In particular, this shows
that the Radon-Nikod\'{y}m property (even reflexivity) is not enough to
get BPBp-$\nuu$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Metric spaces nonembeddable
into Banach spaces with the property and thick families of geodesics"
by Mikhail Ostrovskii.
Abstract: We show that a geodesic metric space which does not admit
bilipschitz embeddings into Banach spaces with the Radon-Nikod\'ym
property does not necessarily contain a bilipschitz image of a thick
family of geodesics. This is done by showing that any thick family of
geodesics is not Markov convex, and comparing this result with results of
Cheeger-Kleiner, Lee-Naor, and Li. The result contrasts with the earlier
result of the author that any Banach space without the Radon-Nikod\'ym
property contains a bilipschitz image of a thick family of geodesics.

This is an announcement for the paper "The planar Busemann-Petty centroid
inequality and its stability" by Mohammad N. Ivaki.
Abstract: In [Centro-affine invariants for smooth convex bodies,
Int. Math. Res. Notices. doi: 10.1093/imrn/rnr110, 2011] Stancu
introduced a family of centro-affine normal flows, $p$-flow, for $1\leq
p<\infty.$ Here we investigate the asymptotic behavior of the planar
$p$-flow for $p=\infty$, in the class of smooth, origin-symmetric convex
bodies. The motivation is the Busemann-Petty centroid inequality. First,
we prove that the $\infty$-flow evolves appropriately normalized
origin-symmetric solutions to the unit disk in the Hausdorff metric,
modulo $SL(2).$ Second, as an application of this weak convergence,
we prove the planar Busemann-Petty centroid inequality in the of class
convex bodies having the origin of the plane in their interiors. Third,
using the $\infty$-flow, we prove a stability version of the planar
Busemann-Petty centroid inequality, in the Banach-Mazur distance, in
the class of origin-symmetric convex bodies. Fourth, we prove that the
convergence in the Hausdorff metric can be improved to convergence in
the $\mathcal{C}^{\infty}$ topology.

This is an announcement for the paper "Finite forms of Gowers' theorem
on the oscillation stability of $c_0$" by Diana Ojeda-Aristizabal.
Abstract: We give a constructive proof of the finite version of Gowers'
$FIN_k$ Theorem and analyse the corresponding upper bounds. The $FIN_k$
Theorem is closely related to the oscillation stability of $c_0$. The
stabilization of Lipschitz functions on arbitrary finite dimensional
Banach spaces was studied well before by V. Milman. We compare the finite
$FIN_k$ Theorem with the finite stabilization principle in the case of
spaces of the form $\ell_{\infty}^n$, $n\in\mathbb{N}$ and establish a
much slower growing upper bound for the finite stabilization principle
in this particular case.

This is an announcement for the paper "Metric characterizations of
superreflexivity in terms of word groups and finite graphs" by Mikhail
Ostrovskii.
Abstract: We show that superreflexivity can be characterized in terms
of bilipschitz embeddability of word hyperbolic groups. We compare
characterizations of superreflexivity in terms of diamond graphs and
binary trees. We show that there exist sequences of series-parallel
graphs of increasing topological complexity which admit uniformly
bilipschitz embeddings into a Hilbert space, and thus do not characterize
superreflexivity.

Dear Colleague,
The Department of Mathematics at Kent State University is happy to announce
a meeting of the Kent State Informal Analysis Seminar. The Informal
Analysis Seminar will be held on March 1-2, 2014. The plenary lecture
series will be given by:
Svetlana Jitomirskaya (UC Irvine), and
Nets Katz (Caltech)
Each speaker will deliver a four hour lecture series designed to be
accessible for graduate students.
The conference is supported by the NSF. Funding is available to cover the
local expenses, and possibly travel expenses, of a limited number of
participants. Graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and members of
underrepresented groups are particularly encouraged to apply for support.
Further information, and an online registration form, can be found online
at www.math.kent.edu/informal. Please feel free to contact us at
informal(a)math.kent.edu for any further information.
Attached is a poster that you are welcome to forward to any colleagues you
think may be interested.
Sincerely,
The analysis group at Kent State University.
This is an announcement for the paper "Equality characterization and
stability for entropy inequalities" by Elisabeth M. Werner and Turkay
Yolcu.
Abstract: We characterize the equality case in a recently established
entropy inequality. To do so, we show that characterization of equality
is equivalent to uniqueness of the solution of a certain Monge Ampere
differential equation. We prove the uniqueness of the solution using
methods from mass transport, due to Brenier, and Gangbo-McCann.
We then give stability versions for this entropy inequality, as well as
for a reverse log Sobolev inequality and for the L_p-affine isoperimetric
inequalities for both, log concave functions and convex bodies. In the
case of convex bodies such stability results have only been known in all
dimensions for p=1 and for p > 1 only for 0-symmetric bodies in the plane.

This is an announcement for the paper "Characterizing the dual mixed
volume via additive functionals" by Paolo Dulio, Richard J. Gardner and
Carla Peri.
Abstract: Integral representations are obtained of positive additive
functionals on finite products of the space of continuous functions (or
of bounded Borel functions) on a compact Hausdorff space. These are shown
to yield characterizations of the dual mixed volume, the fundamental
concept in the dual Brunn-Minkowski theory. The characterizations are
shown to be best possible in the sense that none of the assumptions
can be omitted. The results obtained are in the spirit of a similar
characterization of the mixed volume in the classical Brunn-Minkowski
theory, obtained recently by Milman and Schneider, but the methods
employed are completely different.
