This is an announcement for the paper "Operators on Banach spaces of
Bourgain-Delbaen type" by Matthew Tarbard.
Abstract: We begin by giving a detailed exposition of the original
Bourgain-Delbaen construction and the generalised construction due to
Argyros and Haydon. We show how these two constructions are related,
and as a corollary, are able to prove that there exists some $\delta >
0$ and an uncountable set of isometries on the original Bourgain-Delbaen
spaces which are pairwise distance $\delta$ apart.
We subsequently extend these ideas to obtain our main results. We
construct new Banach spaces of Bourgain-Delbaen type, all of which
have $\ell_1$ dual. The first class of spaces are HI and possess few,
but not very few operators. We thus have a negative solution to the
Argyros-Haydon question. We remark that all these spaces have finite
dimensional Calkin algebra, and we investigate the corollaries of this
result. We also construct a space with $\ell_1$ Calkin algebra and show
that whilst this space is still of Bourgain-Delbaen type with $\ell_1$
dual, it behaves somewhat differently to the first class of spaces.
Finally, we briefly consider shift-invariant $\ell_1$ preduals,
and hint at how one might use the Bourgain-Delbaen construction to
produce new, exotic examples.

1st ANNOUNCEMENT OF BWB 2014
First Brazilian Workshop in Geometry of Banach Spaces
August 25-29, 2014
Maresias, São Paulo State, Brazil.
This is the 1st announcement for the First Brazilian Workshop in
Geometry of Banach Spaces, organized by the University of São Paulo
(USP), in the week August 25-29, 2014.
This international conference will take place at the Beach Hotel
Maresias, on the coast of São Paulo State, in Maresias. The scientific
program will focus on the theory of geometry of Banach spaces, with
emphasis on the following directions: linear theory of infinite
dimensional spaces and its relations to Ramsey theory, homological
theory and set theory; nonlinear theory; and operator theory.
The webpage of the Workshop may be found at
http://www.ime.usp.br/~banach/bwb2014/
Registration will start in early 2014. Additional scientific,
practical and financial information will be given at that time.

This is an announcement for the paper "Isomorphic Schauder decompositions
in certain Banach spaces" by Vitalii Marchenko.
Abstract: We extend a theorem of Kato on similarity for sequences
of projections in Hilbert spaces to the case of isomorphic
Schauder decompositions in certain Banach spaces. To this end we use
$\ell_{\Psi}$-Hilbertian and $\infty$-Hilbertian Schauder decompositions
instead of orthogonal Schauder decompositions, generalize the concept of
an orthogonal Schauder decomposition in a Hilbert space and introduce
the class of spaces with Schauder-Orlicz decompositions. Furthermore,
we generalize the notions of type, cotype, infratype and $M$-cotype
of a Banach space and study the properties of unconditional Schauder
decompositions in spaces possessing certain geometric structure.

This is an announcement for the paper "Numerical range for random
matrices" by Benoit Collins, Piotr Gawron, Alexander E. Litvak, and
Karol Zyczkowski.
Abstract: We analyze the numerical range of high-dimensional random
matrices, obtaining limit results and corresponding quantitative estimates
in the non-limit case. We show that the numerical range of complex
Ginibre ensemble converges to the disk of radius $\sqrt{2}$. Since the
spectrum of non-hermitian random matrices from the Ginibre ensemble lives
asymptotically in a neighborhood of the unit disk, it follows that the
outer belt of width $\sqrt{2}-1$ containing no eigenvalues can be seen
as a quantification the non-normality of the complex Ginibre random
matrix. We also show that the numerical range of upper triangular
Gaussian matrices converges to the same disk of radius $\sqrt{2}$,
while all eigenvalues are equal to zero and we prove that the operator
norm of such matrices converges to $\sqrt{2e}$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Summation of coefficients
of polynomials on $\ell_{p}$ spaces" by Veronica Dimant and Pablo
Sevilla-Peris.
Abstract: We investigate the summability of the coefficients of
$m$-homogeneous polynomials and $m$-linear mappings defined on
$\ell_{p}$-spaces. In our research we obtain results on the summability
of the coefficients of $m$-linear mappings defined on $\ell_{p_{1}} \times
\cdots \times \ell_{p_{m}}$. The first results in this respect go back to
Littlewood and Bohnenblust and Hille (for bilinear and $m$-linear forms
on $c_{0}$) and Hardy and Littlewood and Praciano-Pereira (for bilinear
and $m$-linear forms on arbitrary $\ell_{p}$-spaces). Our results recover
and in some case complete these old results through a general approach
on vector valued $m$-linear mappings.

This is an announcement for the paper "Operator ideals on non-commutative
function spaces" by T. Oikhberg and E. Spinu.
Abstract: Suppose $X$ and $Y$ are Banach spaces, and ${\mathcal{I}}$,
${\mathcal{J}}$ are operator ideals (for instance, the ideals of strictly
singular, weakly compact, or compact operators). Under what conditions
does the inclusion ${\mathcal{I}}(X,Y) \subset {\mathcal{J}}(X,Y)$,
or the equality ${\mathcal{I}}(X,Y) = {\mathcal{J}}(X,Y)$, hold? We
examine this question when ${\mathcal{I}}, {\mathcal{J}}$ are the
ideals of Dunford-Pettis, strictly (co)singular, finitely strictly
singular, inessential, or (weakly) compact operators, while $X$ and $Y$
are non-commutative function spaces. Since such spaces are ordered,
we also address the same questions for positive parts of such ideals.

This is an announcement for the paper "Extreme differences between weakly
open subsets and convex of slices in Banach spaces" by Julio Becerra
Guerrero, Gines Lopez-Perez and Abraham Rueda Zoca.
Abstract: We show that every Banach space containing isomorphic copies
of $c_0$ can be equivalently renormed so that every nonempty relatively
weakly open subset of its unit ball has diameter 2 and, however, its
unit ball still contains convex combinations of slices with diameter
arbitrarily small, which improves in a optimal way the known results
about the size of this kind of subsets in Banach spaces.

its minimality among non negative and multi additive functionals.

This is an announcement for the paper "Strictly singular operators in
Tsirelson like spaces" by Spiros Argyros, Kevin Beanland and Pavlos
Motakis.
Abstract: For each $n \in \mathbb{N}$ a Banach space
$\mathfrak{X}_{0,1}^n$ is constructed is having the property that every
normalized weakly null sequence generates either a $c_0$ or $\ell_1$
spreading models and every infinite dimensional subspace has weakly
null sequences generating both $c_0$ and $\ell_1$ spreading models. The
space $\mathfrak{X}_{0,1}^n$ is also quasiminimal and for every infinite
dimensional closed subspace $Y$ of $\mathfrak{X}_{0,1}^n$, for every
$S_1,S_2,\ldots,S_{n+1}$ strictly singular operators on $Y$, the operator
$S_1S_2\cdots S_{n+1}$ is compact. Moreover, for every subspace $Y$
as above, there exist $S_1,S_2,\ldots,S_n$ strictly singular operators
on $Y$, such that the operator $S_1S_2\cdots S_n$ is non-compact.
