This is an announcement for the paper "Quantitative Grothendieck property"
by Hana Bendova.
Abstract: A Banach space $X$ is Grothendieck if the weak and the weak$^*$
convergence of sequences in the dual space $X^*$ coincide. The space
$\ell^\infty$ is a classical example of a Grothendieck space due to
Grothendieck. We introduce a quantitative version of the Grothendieck
property, we prove a quantitative version of the above-mentioned
Grothendieck's result and we construct a Grothendieck space which is
not quantitatively Grothendieck. We also establish the quantitative
Grothendieck property of $L^\infty(\mu)$ for a $\sigma$-finite measure
$\mu$.

This is an announcement for the paper "The Daugavet property and
translation-invariant subspaces" by Simon Lucking.
Abstract: Let $G$ be an infinite, compact abelian group and
let $\varLambda$ be a subset of its dual group $\varGamma$. We
study the question which spaces of the form $C_\varLambda(G)$ or
$L^1_\varLambda(G)$ and which quotients of the form $C(G)/C_\varLambda(G)$
or $L^1(G)/L^1_\varLambda(G)$ have the Daugavet property. We show that
$C_\varLambda(G)$ is a rich subspace of $C(G)$ if and only if $\varGamma
\setminus \varLambda^{-1}$ is a semi-Riesz set. If $L^1_\varLambda(G)$ is
a rich subspace of $L^1(G)$, then $C_\varLambda(G)$ is a rich subspace of
$C(G)$ as well. Concerning quotients, we prove that $C(G)/C_\varLambda(G)$
has the Daugavet property, if $\varLambda$ is a Rosenthal set, and that
$L^1_\varLambda(G)$ is a poor subspace of $L^1(G)$, if $\varLambda$
is a nicely placed Riesz set.

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.

This is an announcement for the paper "Some remarks on generalised lush
spaces" by Jan-David Hardtke.
Abstract: X. Huang et al. recently introduced the notion of
generalised lush (GL) spaces, which, at least for separable spaces, is
a generalisation of the concept of lushness introduced by K. Boyko et
al. in 2007. The main result of Huang et al. is that every GL-space has
the so called Mazur-Ulam property (MUP). In this note, we will prove some
properties of GL-spaces (further than those already established by Huang
et al.), for example, every $M$-ideal in a GL-space is again a GL-space,
ultraproducts of GL-spaces are again GL-spaces, and if the bidual $X^{**}$
of a Banach space $X$ is GL, then $X$ itself still has the MUP.

This is an announcement for the paper "Octahedral norms and convex
combination of slices in Banach spaces" by Julio Becerra Guerrero,
Gines Lopez-Perez, and Abraham Rueda Zoca.
Abstract: We study the relation between octahedral norms, Daugavet
property and the size of convex combinations of slices in Banach
spaces. We prove that the norm of an arbitrary Banach space is octahedral
if, and only if, every convex combination of $w^*$-slices in the dual unit
ball has diameter $2$, which answer an open question. As a consequence
we get that the Banach spaces with the Daugavet property and its dual
spaces have octahedral norms. Also, we show that for every separable
Banach space containing $\ell_1$ and for every $\varepsilon >0$ there
is an equivalent norm so that every convex combination of $w^*$-slices
in the dual unit ball has diameter at least $2-\varepsilon$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Weak-star point of continuity
property and Schauder bases" by Gines Lopez Perez and Jose A. Soler
Arias.
Abstract: We characterize the weak-star point of continuity property for
subspaces of dual spaces with separable predual and we deduce that the
weak-star point of continuity property is determined by subspaces with
a Schauder basis in the natural setting of dual spaces of separable
Banach spaces. As a consequence of the above characterization we
get that a dual space satisfies the Radon-Nikodym property if, and
only if, every seminormalized topologically weak-star null tree has
a boundedly complete branch, which improves some results in \cite{DF}
obtained for the separable case. Also, as a consequence of the above
characterization, the following result obtained in \cite{R1} is deduced:
{\it every seminormalized basic sequence in a Banach space with the
point of continuity property has a boundedly complete subsequence

This is an announcement for the paper "Lineability criteria, with
applications" by Luis Bernal-Gonzalez and Manuel Ordonez-Cabrera.
Abstract: Lineability is a property enjoyed by some subsets within
a vector space X. A subset A of X is called lineable whenever A
contains, except for zero, an infinite dimensional vector subspace. If,
additionally, X is endowed with richer structures, then the more
stringent notions of dense-lineability, maximal dense-lineability
and spaceability arise naturally. In this paper, several lineability
criteria are provided and applied to specific topological vector spaces,
mainly function spaces. Sometimes, such criteria furnish unified proofs
of a number of scattered results in the related literature. Families of
strict-order integrable functions, hypercyclic vectors, non-extendable
holomorphic mappings, Riemann non-Lebesgue integrable functions,
sequences not satisfying the Lebesgue dominated convergence theorem,
nowhere analytic functions, bounded variation functions, entire functions
with fast growth and Peano curves, among others, are analyzed from the
point of view of lineability.

This is an announcement for the paper "Uniform openness of multiplication
in Banach spaces $L _p$" by Marek Balcerzak, Adam Majchrzycki, and
Filip Strobin.
Abstract: We show that multiplication from $L_p\times L_q$ to $L_1$
(for $p,q\in [1,\infty]$, $1/p+1/q=1$) is a uniformly open mapping. We
also prove the uniform openness of the multiplication from $\ell_1\times
c_0$ to $\ell_1$. This strengthens the former results obtained by
M. Balcerzak, A.~Majchrzycki and A. Wachowicz.

This is an announcement for the paper "Concentration analysis and
cocompactness" by Cyril Tintarev.
Abstract: Loss of compactness that occurs in may significant PDE settings
can be expressed in a well-structured form of profile decomposition for
sequences. Profile decompositions are formulated in relation to a triplet
$(X,Y,D)$, where $X$ and $Y$ are Banach spaces, $X\hookrightarrow Y$, and
$D$ is, typically, a set of surjective isometries on both $X$ and $Y$. A
profile decomposition is a representation of a bounded sequence in $X$
as a sum of elementary concentrations of the form $g_kw$, $g_k\in D$,
$w\in X$, and a remainder that vanishes in $Y$. A necessary requirement
for $Y$ is, therefore, that any sequence in $X$ that develops no
$D$-concentrations has a subsequence convergent in the norm of $Y$. An
imbedding $X\hookrightarrow Y$ with this property is called $D$-cocompact,
a property weaker than, but related to, compactness. We survey known
cocompact imbeddings and their role in profile decompositions.
