This is an announcement for the paper "Remarks on diameter 2 properties"
by Trond Abrahamsen, Vegard Lima, and Olav Nygaard.
Abstract: If $X$ is an infinite-dimensional uniform algebra, if $X$
has the Daugavet property or if $X$ is a proper $M$-embedded space,
every relatively weakly open subset of the unit ball of the Banach
space $X$ is known to have diameter 2, i.e., $X$ has the diameter 2
property. We prove that in these three cases even every finite convex
combination of relatively weakly open subsets of the unit ball have
diameter 2. Further, we identify new examples of spaces with the diameter
2 property outside the formerly known cases; in particular we observe
that forming $\ell_p$-sums of diameter 2 spaces does not ruin diameter
2 structure.

This is an announcement for the paper "Equilateral sets and a Sch\"utte
Theorem for the 4-norm" by Konrad J. Swanepoel.
Abstract: A well-known theorem of Sch\"utte (1963) gives a sharp lower
bound for the ratio between the maximum distance and minimum distance
between n+2 points in n-dimensional Euclidean space. In this brief
note we adapt B\'ar\'any's elegant proof of this theorem to the space
$\ell_4^n$. This gives a new proof that the largest cardinality of an
equilateral set in $\ell_4^n$ is n+1, and gives a constructive bound for
an interval $(4-\epsilon_n,4+\epsilon_n)$ of values of p close to 4 for
which it is guaranteed that the largest cardinality of an equilateral
set in $\ell_p^n$ is n+1.

This is an announcement for the paper "Differentiability of Lipschitz
functions in Lebesgue null sets" by David Preiss and Gareth Speight.
Abstract: We show that if n>1 then there exists a Lebesgue null set in
R^n containing a point of differentiability of each Lipschitz function
mapping from R^n to R^(n-1); in combination with the work of others,
this completes the investigation of when the classical Rademacher theorem
admits a converse. Avoidance of sigma-porous sets, arising as irregular
points of Lipschitz functions, plays a key role in the proof.

This is an announcement for the paper "On a certain class of $\K$ Banach
spaces" by K.K. Kampoukos and S.K. Mercourakis.
Abstract: Using a strengthening of the concept of $\K$ set, introduced
in this paper, we study a certain subclass of the class of $\K$
Banach spaces; the so called strongly $\K$ Banach spaces. This class of
spaces includes subspaces of strongly weakly compactly generated (SWCG)
as well as Polish Banach spaces and it is related to strongly weakly
$\mathcal{K}$--analytic (SWKA) Banach spaces as the known classes of $\K$
and weakly $\mathcal{K}$--analytic (WKA) Banach spaces are related.

This is an announcement for the paper "Bohr's absolute convergence
problem for $\mathcal{H}_p$-Dirichlet in Banach spaces" by Daniel Carando,
Andreas Defant and Pablo Sevilla-Peris.
Abstract: The Bohr-Bohnenblust-Hille Theorem states that the width of
the strip in the complex plane on which an ordinary Dirichlet series
$\sum_n a_n n^{-s}$ converges uniformly but not absolutely is less than or
equal to $1/2$, and this estimate is optimal. Equivalently, the supremum
of the absolute convergence abscissas of all Dirichlet series in the
Hardy space $\mathcal{H}_\infty$ equals $1/2$. By a surprising fact of
Bayart the same result holds true if $\mathcal{H}_\infty$ is replaced
by any Hardy space $\mathcal{H}_p$, $1 \le p < \infty$, of Dirichlet
series. For Dirichlet series with coefficients in a Banach space $X$ the
maximal width of Bohr's strips depend on the geometry of $X$; Defant,
Garc\'ia, Maestre and P\'erez-Garc\'ia proved that such maximal width
equal $1- 1/\ct(X)$, where $\ct(X)$ denotes the maximal cotype of $X$.
Equivalently, the supremum over the absolute convergence abscissas of all
Dirichlet series in the vector-valued Hardy space $\mathcal{H}_\infty(X)$
equals $1- 1/\ct(X)$. In this article we show that this result remains
true if $\mathcal{H}_\infty(X)$ is replaced by the larger class
$\mathcal{H}_p(X)$, $1 \le p < \infty$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Operators on two Banach spaces
of continuous functions on locally compact spaces of ordinals" by
Tomasz Kania and Niels Jakob Laustsen.
Abstract: Denote by $[0,\omega_1)$ the set of countable ordinals,
equipped with the order topology, let $L_0$ be the disjoint union of
the compact ordinal intervals $[0,\alpha]$ for $\alpha$ countable, and
consider the Banach spaces $C_0[0,\omega_1)$ and $C_0(L_0)$ consisting of
all scalar-valued, continuous functions which are defined on the locally
compact Hausdorff spaces $[0,\omega_1)$ and~$L_0$, respectively, and which
vanish eventually. Our main result states that a bounded operator $T$
between any pair of these two Banach spaces fixes a copy of $C_0(L_0)$
if and only if the identity operator on $C_0(L_0)$ factors through $T$,
if and only if the Szlenk index of $T$ is uncountable. This implies that
the set $\mathscr{S}_{C_0(L_0)}(C_0(L_0))$ of $C_0(L_0)$-strictly singular
operators on $C_0(L_0)$ is the unique maximal ideal of the Banach algebra
$\mathscr{B}(C_0(L_0))$ of all bounded operators on $C_0(L_0)$, and that
$\mathscr{S}_{C_0(L_0)}(C_0[0,\omega_1))$ is the second-largest proper
ideal of $\mathscr{B}(C_0[0,\omega_1))$. Moreover, it follows that the
Banach space $C_0(L_0)$ is primary and complementably homogeneous.

This is an announcement for the paper "Big slices versus big relatively
weakly open subsets in Banach spaces" by Julio Becerra Guerrero, Gines
Lopez Perez and Abraham Rueda Zoido.
Abstract: We study the unknown differences between the size of slices
and relatively weakly open subsets of the unit ball in Banach spaces. We
show that every Banach space containing isomorphic copies of $c_0$ can be
equivalently renormed so that every slice of its unit ball has diameter 2
and satisfying that its unit ball contains nonempty relatively weakly open
subsets with diameter strictly less than 2, which answers by the negative
an open problem. As a consequence a Banach space is constructed satisfying
that every slice of its unit ball has diameter 2 and containing nonempty
relatively weakly open subsets of its unit ball with diameter arbitrarily
small, which stresses the differences between the size of slices and
relatively weakly open subsets of the unit ball of Banach spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "Uniformly factoring weakly compact
operators" by Kevin Beanland and Daniel Freeman.
Abstract: Let $X$ and $Y$ be separable Banach spaces. Suppose $Y$ either
has a shrinking basis or $Y$ is isomorphic to $C(2^\nn)$ and $\aaa$ is
a subset of weakly compact operators from $X$ to $Y$ which is analytic
in the strong operator topology. We prove that there is a reflexive
space with a basis $Z$ such that every $T \in \aaa$ factors through
$Z$. Likewise, we prove that if $\aaa \subset \llll(X, C(2^\nn))$ is
a set of operators whose adjoints have separable range and is analytic
in the strong operator topology then there is a Banach space $Z$ with
separable dual such that every $T \in \aaa$ factors through $Z$. Finally
we prove a uniformly version of this result in which we allow the domain
and range spaces to vary.

This is an announcement for the paper "K\"othe-Bochner spaces and some
geometric properties related to rotundity and smoothness" by Jan-David
Hardtke.
Abstract: In 2000 Kadets et al. introduced the notions of acs, luacs and
uacs spaces, which form common generalisations of well-known rotundity
and smoothness properties of Banach spaces. In a recent preprint the
author introduced some further related notions and investigated the
behaviour of these geometric properties under the formation of absolute
sums. This paper is in a sense a continuation of the previous work. Here
we will study the behaviour of said properties under the formation of
K\"othe-Bochner spaces, thereby generalising some results of Sirotkin
on the acs, luacs and uacs properties of $L^p$-Bochner spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "Equivalence of multi-norms"
by H. Garth Dales, Matthew Daws, Hung Le Pham, and Paul Ramsden.
Abstract: The theory of multi-norms was developed by H.\ G.\ Dales and
M.\ E.\ Polyakov in a memoir that was published in \emph{Dissertationes
Mathematicae}. In that memoir, the notion of `equivalence' of multi-norms
was defined. In the present memoir, we make a systematic study of when
various pairs of multi-norms are mutually equivalent.
