Title: Free Banach Lattices
Abstract. We will start recalling the construction of the free Banach lattice generated by a Banach space. This notion provides a new link betweeen Banach space and Banach lattice properties. We will show how this can be useful to tackle some problems and discuss some open questions. The material of the talk is partially based on the following papers:
* The free Banach lattice generated by a Banach space by Antonio Avilés, José Rodríguez, Pedro Tradacete, J. Funct. Anal. 274 (2018), no. 10, 2955-2977<https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.08147>
* The free Banach lattices generated by $\ell_p$ and $c_0$ by Antonio Avilés, Pedro Tradacete, Ignacio Villanueva, Rev.Mat. Complutense 32 (2019), no. 2, 353-364.<https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.02553>

Title: The number of closed ideals in $L(L_p)$.
Abstract. I intend to review what is known about the closed ideals in the Banach algebras $L(L_p(0,1))$. Then concentrate on a recent result of Bill Johnson and myself showing that for $1<p\not= 2<\infty$ there are exactly $2^{2^{\aleph_0}}$ different closed ideals in $L(L_p(0,1))$.

Title: Lipschitz Free Spaces over Locally Compact Metric Spaces
Abstract. The talk is generally about questions of local-to-global phenomena in metric and Banach space theory. There are two motivating questions: Let X be a complete, locally compact metric space. (1) If every compact subset of X biLipschitz embeds into a Banach space with the Radon-Nikodym property, is the same true of X? (2) If the Lipschitz free space over K has the Radon-Nikodym property for every compact subset K of X, is the same true for the Lipschitz free space over X? We will first overview the theory of non-biLipschitz embeddability of metric spaces into Banach spaces with the Radon-Nikodym property, and then discuss an idea developed in an attempt to answer (2). We will show how this idea may be used to answer modified versions of (2) when the Radon-Nikodym property is replaced by the Schur or approximation property.

Dear all,
1. A quick reminder for tomorrow’s talk. Dan Freeman is speaking.
2. Please update your zoom (Go to menu on top and click Check for updates, the new version should be 5.0.1).
3. A correction: In the last sentence of the Dan’s abstract, his collaborator Mitchell Taylor’s last name was cut off. Mitchell is a grad student at Berkeley. Apologies to Mitchell! See the abstract below.
See you tomorrow!

Title: A Schauder basis for $L_2$ consisting of non-negative functions
Abstract. We will discuss what coordinate systems can be created for $L_p(\mathbb R)$ using only non-negative functions with $1\leq p<\infty$. In particular, we will describe the construction of a Schauder basis for $L_2(\mathbb R)$ consisting of only non-negative functions. We will conclude with a discussion of some related open problems. This is joint work with Alex Powell and Mitchell Taylor.
Dear colleague,

Title: Coarse Universality
Abstract. The Bourgain index is a tool that can be used to show that if a separable Banach space contains isomorphic copies of all members of a class C then it must contain isomorphic copies of all separable Banach spaces. This can be applied, e.g., to the class C of separable reflexive spaces. Notably, the embedding of each member of C does not witness the universality of X. We investigate a natural coarse analogue of this index which can be used, e.g., to show that a separable metric space that contains coarse copies of all members in certain “small" classes of metric spaces C then X contains a coarse copy of $c_0$ and thus of all separable metric spaces.
This is joint work with F. Baudier, G. Lancien, and Th. Schlumprecht.
