This is an announcement for the paper "A remark on the complex
interpolation for families of Banach spaces" by Yanqi Qiu.
Abstract: We show by explicit examples that the complex interpolation
for families of Banach spaces is not stable under rearrangement of the
given family on the boundary, although, by well-known results, it is
stable when the latter family takes only 2 values. In our examples,
we can even assume that the family takes only 3 values, which is best
possible. We also characterize all the transformations on the circle
that are invariant for complex interpolation at 0, they are precisely
the origin-preserving inner functions.

This is an announcement for the paper "Projections in duals to Asplund
spaces made without Simons' lemma" by Marek Cuth and Marian Fabian.
Abstract: G. Godefroy and the second author of this note proved in
1988 that in duals to Asplund spaces there always exists a projectional
resolution of the identity. A few years later, Ch. Stegall succeeded to
drop from the original proof a deep lemma of S. Simons. Here, we rewrite
the condensed argument of Ch. Stegall in a more transparent and detailed
way. We actually show that this technology of Ch. Stegall leads to a
bit stronger/richer object ---the so called projectional skeleton---
recently constructed by W. Kubi\'s, via S. Simons' lemma and with help
of elementary submodels from logic.

This is an announcement for the paper "The Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'as
moduli of a Banach space" by Mario Chica, Vladimir Kadets, Miguel Martin,
Soledad Moreno and Fernando Rambla.
Abstract: We introduce two Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'as moduli of a Banach
space which measure, for a given Banach space, what is the best possible
Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'as theorem in this space. We show that there is a
common upper bound for these moduli for all Banach spaces and we present
an example showing that this bound is sharp. We prove the continuity of
these moduli and an inequality with respect to duality. We calculate the
two moduli for Hilbert spaces and also present many examples for which
the moduli have the maximum possible value (among them, there are $C(K)$
spaces and $L_1(\mu)$ spaces). Finally, we show that if a Banach space
has the maximum possible value of any of the moduli, then it contains
almost isometric copies of the real space $\ell_\infty^{(2)}$ and present
an example showing that this condition is not sufficient.

This is an announcement for the paper "The Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'{a}s
theorem for operators on $L_1(\mu)$" by Yun Sung Choi, Sun Kwang Kim,
Han Ju Lee and Miguel Martin.
Abstract: In this paper we show that the Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'as theorem
holds for $\mathcal{L}(L_1(\mu), L_1(\nu))$ for all measures $\mu$ and
$\nu$ and also holds for $\mathcal{L}(L_1(\mu),L_\infty(\nu))$ for every
arbitrary measure $\mu$ and every localizable measure $\nu$. Finally,
we show that the Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'as theorem holds for two classes
of bounded linear operators from a real $L_1(\mu)$ into a real $C(K)$
if $\mu$ is a finite measure and $K$ is a compact Hausdorff space. In
particular, one of the classes includes all Bochner representable
operators and all weakly compact operators.

This is an announcement for the paper "Random fusion frames are nearly
equiangular and tight" by Bernhard G. Bodmann.
Abstract: This paper demonstrates that random, independently chosen
equi-dimensional subspaces with a unitarily invariant distribution in
a real Hilbert space provide nearly tight, nearly equiangular fusion
frames. The angle between a pair of subspaces is measured in terms
of the Hilbert-Schmidt inner product of the corresponding orthogonal
projections. If the subspaces are selected at random, then a measure
concentration argument shows that these inner products concentrate near
an average value. Overwhelming success probability for near tightness
and equiangularity is guaranteed if the dimension of the subspaces is
sufficiently small compared to that of the Hilbert space and if the
dimension of the Hilbert space is small compared to the sum of all
subspace dimensions.

This is an announcement for the paper "A survey on subideals of operators
and an introduction to subideal-traces" by S. Patnaik and G. Weiss.
Abstract: Operator ideals in B(H) are well understood and exploited but
ideals inside them have only recently been studied starting with the
1983 seminal work of Fong and Radjavi and continuing with two recent
articles by the authors of this survey. This article surveys this study
embodied in these three articles. A subideal is a two-sided ideal of J
(for specificity also called a J-ideal) for J an arbitrary ideal of
B(H). In this terminology we alternatively call J a B(H)-ideal.
This surveys these three articles in which we developed a complete
characterization of all J-ideals generated by sets of cardinality strictly
less than the cardinality of the continuum. So a central theme is the
impact of generating sets for subideals on their algebraic structure. This
characterization includes in particular finitely and countably generated
J-ideals. It was obtained by first generalizing to arbitrary principal
J-ideals the 1983 work of Fong-Radjavi who determined which principal
K(H)-ideals are also B(H)-ideals. A key property in our investigation
turned out to be J-softness of a B(H)-ideal I inside J, that is, IJ =
I, a generalization of a recent notion of K(H)-softness of B(H)-ideals
introduced by Kaftal-Weiss and earlier exploited for Banach spaces by
Mityagin and Pietsch. This study of subideals and the study of elementary
operators with coefficient constraints are closely related. Here we also
introduce and study a notion of subideal-traces where classical traces
(unitarily invariant linear functionals) need not make sense for subideals
that are not B(H)-ideals.

This is an announcement for the paper "Separable $C^{\ast}$-algebras and
weak$^{\ast}$-fixed point property" by Gero Fendler and Michael Leinert.
Abstract: It is shown that the dual $\widehat{A}$ of a separable
$C^{\ast}$-algebra $A$ is discrete if and only if its Banach space dual
has the weak$^{\ast}$-fixed point property. We prove further that these
properties are equivalent to the uniform weak$^{\ast}$ Kadec-Klee property
of $A^{\ast}$ and to the coincidence of the weak$^{\ast}$ topology with
the norm topology on the pure states of $A$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Mean width of random perturbations
of random polytopes" by David Alonso-Gutierrez and Joscha Prochno.
Abstract: We prove some "high probability" results on the expected value
of the mean width for random perturbations of random polytopes. The random
perturbations are considered for Gaussian and $p$-stable random vectors,
as well as uniform distributions on $\ell_p^N$-balls and the unit sphere.

This is an announcement for the paper "On left democracy function"
by P. Wojtaszczyk.
Abstract: We continue the study undertaken in \cite{GHN} of left
democracy function $h_l(N)=\inf_{\#\Lambda=N}\left\|\sum_{n\in \Lambda_N}
x_n\right\| $ of an unconditional basis in a Banach space $X$. We provide
an example of a basis with $h_l$ non-doubling. Then we show that for bases
with non-doubling $h_l$ the greedy projection is not optimal. Together
with results from \cite{GHN} and improved by C. Cabrelli, G. Garrig\'os,
E. Hernandez and U. Molter we get that the basis is greedy if and only
if the greedy projection is optimal.

This is an announcement for the paper "$B(H)$-Commutators: A historical
survey II and recent advances on commutators of compact operators"
by Daniel Beltita, Sasmita Patnaik, and Gary Weiss.
Abstract: A sequel to \cite{gW05}, we address again the single commutator
problem \cite{PT71} of Pearcy and Topping: Is every compact operator
a single commutator of compact operators? by focusing on a 35 year
old test question for this posed in 1976 by the last named author
and others: Are there any strictly positive operators that are single
commutators of compact operators? The latter we settle here affirmatively
with a modest modification of Anderson's fundamental construction
\cite{jA77} constructing compact operators whose commutator is a rank
one projection. Moreover we provide here a rich class of such strictly
positive operators that are commutators of compact operators and pose
a question for the rest.
We explain also how these methods are related to the study of staircase
matrix forms, their equivalent block tri-diagonal forms, and commutator
problems. In particular, we present the original test question and
solution that led to the negative solution of the Pearcy-Topping question
on whether or not every trace class trace zero operator was a commutator
(or linear combination of commutators) of Hilbert-Schmidt operators. And
we show how this evolved from staircase form considerations along with
a Larry Brown result on trace connections to ideals \cite{lB94} which
itself is at the core of \cite[Section 7]{DFWW}.
The omission in \cite{gW05} of this important 35 year old test question
was inadvertent and we correct that in this paper. This sequel starts
where [ibid] left off but can be read independently of [ibid].
The present paper also has a section on self-commutator equations
$[X^*,X]=A$ within the framework of some classical operator Lie
algebras. That problem was solved by Fan and Fong (1980) for the full
algebra of compact operators, and we solve it here for the complex
symplectic Lie algebra of compact operators and for complex semisimple
Lie algebras.
