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.
