This is an announcement for the paper "Ideals of operators on $(\oplus
\ell^\infty(n))_{\ell^1}$" by Denny H. Leung.
Abstract: The unique maximal ideal in the Banach algebra $L(E)$, $E =
(\oplus \ell^\infty(n))_{\ell^1}$, is identified. The proof relies on
techniques developed by Laustsen, Loy and Read and a dichotomy result
for operators mapping into $L^1$ due to Laustsen, Odell, Schlumprecht
and Zs\'{a}k.

This is an announcement for the paper "Order isomorphisms on function
spaces" by Denny H. Leung and Lei Li.
Abstract: The classical theorems of Banach and Stone, Gelfand and
Kolmogorov, and Kaplansky show that a compact Hausdorff space $X$ is
uniquely determined by the linear isometric structure, the algebraic
structure, and the lattice structure, respectively, of the space
$C(X)$. In this paper, it is shown that for rather general subspaces
$A(X)$ and $A(Y)$ of $C(X)$ and $C(Y)$ respectively, any linear bijection
$T: A(X) \to A(Y)$ such that $f \geq 0$ if and only if $Tf \geq 0$ gives
rise to a homeomorphism $h: X \to Y$ with which $T$ can be represented as
a weighted composition operator. The three classical results mentioned
above can be derived as corollaries. Generalizations to noncompact
spaces and other function spaces such as spaces of uniformly continuous
functions, Lipschitz functions and differentiable functions are presented.

This is an announcement for the paper "Basis entropy in Banach spaces"
by Andrei Dorogovtsev and Mikhail Popov.
Abstract: We introduce and study two notions of entropy in a Banach
space X with a normalized Schauder basis . The geometric entropy E(A)
of a subset A of X is defined to be the infimum of radii of compact
bricks containing A. We obtain several compactness characterizations for
bricks (Theorem 3.7) useful for main results. We also obtain sufficient
conditions on a set in a Hilbert space to have finite unconditional
entropy. For Banach spaces without a Schauder basis we offer another
entropy, called the Auerbach entropy. Finally, we pose some open problems.

This is an announcement for the paper "Around finite-dimensionality in
functional analysis" by M A Sofi.
Abstract: As objects of study in functional analysis, Hilbert spaces
stand out as special objects of study as do nuclear spaces in view
of a rich geometrical structure they possess as Banach and Frechet
spaces, respectively. On the other hand, there is the class of Banach
spaces including certain function spaces and sequence spaces which
are distinguished by a poor geometrical structure and are subsumed
under the class of so-called Hilbert-Schmidt spaces. It turns out that
these three classes of spaces are mutually disjoint in the sense that
they intersect precisely in finite dimensional spaces. However, it is
remarkable that despite this mutually exclusive character, there is
an underlying commonality of approach to these disparate classes of
objects in that they crop up in certain situations involving a single
phenomenon-the phenomenon of finite dimensionality-which, by definition,
is a generic term for those properties of Banach spaces which hold good
in finite dimensional spaces but fail in infinite dimension.

This is an announcement for the paper "Almost transitive and maximal
norms in Banach spaces" by S. J. Dilworth and B. Randrianantoanina.
Abstract: We prove that the spaces $\ell_p$, $1<p<\infty, p\ne 2$, and
all infinite-dimensional subspaces of their quotient spaces do not admit
equivalent almost transitive renormings. This answers a problem posed by
Deville, Godefroy and Zizler in 1993. We obtain this as a consequence
of a new property of almost transitive spaces with a Schauder basis,
namely we prove that in such spaces the unit vector basis of $\ell_2^2$
belongs to the two-dimensional asymptotic structure and we obtain some
information about the asymptotic structure in higher dimensions. We also
obtain several other results about properties of classical, Tsirelson
type and non-commutative Banach spaces with almost transitive norms.
Further, we prove that the spaces $\ell_p$, $1<p<\infty$, $p\ne
2$, have continuum different renormings with 1-unconditional bases each
with a different maximal isometry group, and that every symmetric space
other than $\ell_2$ has at least a countable number of such renormings. On
the other hand we show that the spaces $\ell_p$, $1<p<\infty$, $p\ne 2$,
have continuum different renormings each with an isometry group which is
not contained in any maximal bounded subgroup of the group of isomorphisms
of $\ell_p$. This answers a question of Wood.

This is an announcement for the paper "Principle of local reflexivity
respecting subspaces" by Eve Oja.
Abstract: We obtain a strengthening of the principle of local reflexivity
in a general form. The added strength makes local reflexivity operators
respect given subspaces. Applications are given to bounded approximation
properties of pairs, consisting of a Banach space and its subspace.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the structure of the set of the
higher order spreading models" by Bunyamin Sari and Konstantinos Tyros.
Abstract: We generalize some results concerning the classical notion
of a spreading model for the spreading models of order $\xi$. Among
them, we prove that the set $SM_\xi^w(X)$ of the $\xi$-order spreading
models of a Banach space $X$ generated by subordinated weakly null
$\mathcal{F}$-sequences endowed with the pre-partial order of domination
is a semi-lattice. Moreover, if $SM_\xi^w(X)$ contains an increasing
sequence of length $\omega$ then it contains an increasing sequence of
length $\omega_1$. Finally, if $SM_\xi^w(X)$ is uncountable, then it
contains an antichain of size the continuum.

This is an announcement for the paper "Sphere equivalence, Banach
expanders, and extrapolation" by Masato Mimura.
Abstract: We study the Banach spectral gap lambda_1(G;X,p) of finite
graphs G for pairs (X,p) of Banach spaces and exponents. We introduce the
notion of sphere equivalence between Banach spaces, and study behavior
of lambda_1(G;X,p) for fixed p in terms of this equivalence. We further
study behavior of lambda_1(G;X,p) for fixed X. As a byproduct, we show
a generalization of Matousek's extrapolation to that for any Banach
space which is sphere equivalent to a uniformly convex Banach space. We
as well prove that expanders are expanders with respects to (X,p) for
any X sphere equivalent to a uniformly curved Banach space and for any
finite p strictly bigger than 1.

This is an announcement for the paper "Unbounded order convergence in
dual spaces" by Niushan Gao.
Abstract: A net $(x_\alpha)$ in a vector lattice $X$ is said to be
{unbounded order convergent} (or uo-convergent, for short) to $x\in X$
if the net $(\abs{x_\alpha-x}\wedge y)$ converges to $0$ in order for
all $y\in X_+$. In this paper, we study unbounded order convergence in
dual spaces of Banach lattices. Let $X$ be a Banach lattice. We prove that
every norm bounded uo-convergent net in $X^*$ is $w^*$-convergent iff $X$
has order continuous norm, and that every $w^*$-convergent net in $X^*$
is uo-convergent iff $X$ is atomic with order continuous norm. We also
characterize among $\sigma$-order complete Banach lattices the spaces in
whose dual space every simultaneously uo- and $w^*$-convergent sequence
converges weakly/in norm.
