This is an announcement for the paper "The (B) conjecture for uniform
measures in the plane" by Amir Livne Bar-on.
Abstract: We prove that for any two centrally-symmetric convex shapes
$K,L \subset \mathbb{R}^2$, the function $t \mapsto |e^t K \cap L|$
is log-concave. This extends a result of Cordero-Erausquin, Fradelizi
and Maurey in the two dimensional case. Possible relaxations of the
condition of symmetry are discussed.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the equivalence between two
problems of asymmetry on convex bodies" by Christos Saroglou.
Abstract: The simplex was conjectured to be the extremal convex body for
the two following ``problems of asymmetry'':\\ P1) What is the minimal
possible value of the quantity $\max_{K'} |K'|/|K|$? Here, $K'$ ranges
over all symmetric convex bodies contained in $K$.\\ P2) What is the
maximal possible volume of the Blaschke-body of a convex body of volume
1?\\ Our main result states that (P1) and (P2) admit precisely the same
solutions. This complements a result from [{\rm K. B\"{o}r\"{o}czky,
I. B\'{a}r\'{a}ny, E. Makai Jr. and J. Pach}, Maximal volume enclosed by
plates and proof of the chessboard conjecture], Discrete Math. {\bf 69}
(1986), 101--120], stating that if the simplex solves (P1) then the
simplex solves (P2) as well.

This is an announcement for the paper "Remarks on the conjectured
log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality" by Christos Saroglou.
Abstract: \footnotesize B\"{o}r\"{o}czky, Lutwak, Yang and Zhang recently
conjectured a certain strengthening of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality for
symmetric convex bodies, the so-called log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality. We
establish this inequality together with its equality cases for pairs
of unconditional convex bodies with respect to the same orthonormal
basis. Applications of this fact are discussed. Moreover, we prove that
the log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality is equivalent to the (B)-Theorem for
the uniform measure of the cube (this has been proven by Cordero-Erasquin,
Fradelizi and Maurey for the gaussian measure instead).

This is an announcement for the paper "Weak compactness and strongly
summing multilinear operators" by Daniel Pellegrino, Pilar Rueda, and
Enrique A. Sanchez-Perez.
Abstract: Every absolutely summing linear operator is weakly
compact. However, for strongly summing multilinear operators and
polynomials { one of the most natural extensions of the linear
case to the non linear framework { weak compactness does not hold
in general. We show that a subclass of the class of strongly summing
multilinear operators/polynomials, sharing its main properties such as
Grothendieck's Theorem, Pietsch Domination Theorem and Dvoretzky{Rogers
Theorem, has even better properties like weak compactness and a natural
factorization theorem.

This is an announcement for the paper "Geometric characterization of
$L_1$-spaces" by Normuxammad Yadgorov, Mukhtar Ibragimov, and Karimbergen
Kudaybergenov.
Abstract: The paper is devoted to a description of all strongly facially
symmetric spaces which are isometrically isomorphic to $L_1$-spaces. We
prove that if $Z$ is a real neutral strongly facially symmetric space
such that every maximal geometric tripotent from the dual space of
$Z$ is unitary then, the space $Z$ is isometrically isomorphic to the
space $L_1(\Omega, \Sigma, \mu),$ where $(\Omega, \Sigma, \mu)$ is an
appropriate measure space having the direct sum property.

This is an announcement for the paper "Volume of the polar of random
sets and shadow systems" by Dario Cordero-Erausquin, Matthieu Fradelizi,
Grigoris Paouris, and Peter Pivovarov.
Abstract: We obtain optimal inequalities for the volume of the polar of
random sets, generated for instance by the convex hull of independent
random vectors in Euclidean space. Extremizers are given by random vectors
uniformly distributed in Euclidean balls. This provides a random extension
of the Blaschke-Santalo inequality which, in turn, can be derived by the
law of large numbers. The method involves generalized shadow systems,
their connection to Busemann type inequalities, and how they interact
with functional rearrangement inequalities.
