This is an announcement for the paper "Yet another short proof of
Bourgain's distorsion estimate" by Benoit Kloeckner.
Abstract: We use a self-improvement argument to give a very short and
elementary proof of the result of Bourgain saying that regular trees do
not admit bi-Lipschitz embeddings into uniformly convex Banach spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "alpha-concave functions and a
functional extension of mixed volumes" by Vitali Milman and Liran Rotem.
Abstract: Mixed volumes, which are the polarization of volume with respect
to the Minkowski addition, are fundamental objects in convexity. In this
note we announce the construction of mixed integrals, which are functional
analogs of mixed volumes. We build a natural addition operation + on the
class of quasi-concave functions, such that every class of \alpha-concave
functions is closed under +. We then define the mixed integrals, which
are the polarization of the integral with respect to +.
We proceed to discuss the extension of various classic inequalities
to the functional setting. For general quasi-concave functions, this
is done by restating those results in the language of rearrangement
inequalities. Restricting ourselves to \alpha-concave functions, we
state a generalization of the Alexandrov inequalities in their more
familiar form.

This is an announcement for the paper "Non separable reflexive spaces
admitting $\ell_1$ as a unique spreading model" by Spiros A. Argyros
and Pavlos Motakis.
Abstract: Examples of non separable reflexive Banach spaces
$\mathfrak{X}_{2^{\aleph_0}}$, admitting only $\ell_1$ as a spreading
model, are presented. The definition of the spaces is based on
$\alpha$-large, $\alpha<\omega_1$ compact families of finite subsets
of the continuum. We show the existence of such families and we study
their properties. Moreover, based on those families we construct a
reflexive space $\mathfrak{X}_{2^{\aleph_0}}^\alpha$, $\alpha<\omega_1$
with density the continuum, such that every bounded non norm convergent
sequence $\{x_k\}_k$ has a subsequence generating $\ell_1^\alpha$ as a
spreading model.

This is an announcement for the paper "Polyhedrality in Pieces" by
V. P. Fonf, A. J. Pallares, R. J. Smith, and S. Troyanski.
Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present two tools, Theorems 4
and 7, that make the task of finding equivalent polyhedral norms on
certain Banach spaces easier and more transparent. The hypotheses of
both tools are based on countable decompositions, either of the unit
sphere S_X or of certain subsets of the dual ball of a given Banach
space X. The sufficient conditions of Theorem 4 are shown to be necessary
in the separable case. Using Theorem 7, we can unify two known results
regarding the polyhedral renorming of certain C(K) spaces, and spaces
having an (uncountable) unconditional basis. New examples of spaces
having equivalent polyhedral norms are given in the fi?nal section.

This is an announcement for the paper "An inequality for the entropy
numbers and its application" by Vladimir Temlyakov.
Abstract: We prove an inequality for the entropy numbers in terms of
nonlinear Kolmogorov's widths. This inequality is in a spirit of known
inequalities of this type and it is adjusted to the form convenient
in applications for $m$-term approximations with respect to a given
system. Also, we obtain upper bounds for the $m$-term approximation by
the Weak Relaxed Greedy Algorithm with respect to a system which is not
a dictionary.

This is an announcement for the paper "A Bohl--Bohr--Kadets type theorem
characterizing Banach spaces not containing $c_0$" by Balint Farkas.
Abstract: We prove that a separable Banach space $E$ does not contain
a copy of the space $\co$ of null-sequences if and only if for
every doubly power-bounded operator $T$ on $E$ and for every vector
$x\in E$ the relative compactness of the sets $\{T^{n+m}x-T^nx: n\in
\NN\}$ (for some/all $m\in\NN$, $m\geq 1$) and $\{T^nx:n\in \NN\}$
are equivalent. With the help of the Jacobs--de Leeuw--Glicksberg
decomposition of strongly compact semigroups the case of (not necessarily
invertible) power-bounded operators is also handled.

This is an announcement for the paper "On Read's type operators on
Hilbert spaces" by Sophie Grivaux and Maria Roginskaya.
Abstract: Using Read's construction of operators without non-trivial
invariant subspaces/subsets on $\ell_{1}$ or $c_{0}$, we construct
examples of operators on a Hilbert space whose set of hypercyclic vectors
is ``large'' in various senses. We give an example of an operator
such that the closure of every orbit is a closed subspace, and then,
answering a question of D. Preiss, an example of an operator such that
the set of its non-hypercyclic vectors is Gauss null. This operator
has the property that it is orbit-unicellular, i.e. the family of the
closures of its orbits is totally ordered. We also exhibit an example
of an operator on a Hilbert space which is not orbit-reflexive.

This is an announcement for the paper "An example of a minimal action
of the free semi-group $\F^{+}_{2}$ on the Hilbert space" by Sophie
Grivaux and Maria Roginskaya.
Abstract: The Invariant Subset Problem on the Hilbert space is to
know whether there exists a bounded linear operator $T$ on a separable
infinite-dimensional Hilbert space $H$ such that the orbit $\{T^{n}x;\
n\ge 0\}$ of every non-zero vector $x\in H$ under the action of $T$
is dense in $H$. We show that there exists a bounded linear operator
$T$ on a complex separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space $H$
and a unitary operator $V$ on $H$, such that the following property
holds true: for every non-zero vector $x\in H$, either $x$ or $Vx$ has
a dense orbit under the action of $T$. As a consequence, we obtain in
particular that there exists a minimal action of the free semi-group with
two generators $\F^{+}_{2}$ on a complex separable infinite-dimensional
Hilbert space $H$.

This is an announcement for the paper "A general approach to Read's type
constructions of operators without non-trivial invariant closed subspaces"
by Sophie Grivaux and Maria Roginskaya.
Abstract: We present a general method for constructing operators without
non-trivial invariant closed subsets on a large class of non-reflexive
Banach spaces. In particular, our approach unifies and generalizes several
constructions due to Read of operators without non-trivial invariant
subspaces on the spaces $\ell_{1}$, $c_{0}$ or $\oplus_{\ell_{2}}J$, and
without non-trivial invariant subsets on $\ell_{1}$. We also investigate
how far our methods can be extended to the Hilbertian setting, and
construct an operator on a quasireflexive dual Banach space which has
no non-trivial $w^{*}$-closed invariant subspace.
