This is an announcement for the paper "Generic orbits and type isolation
in the Gurarij space" by Itai Ben Yaacov and C. Ward Henson.
Abstract: We study model-theoretic aspects of the separable Gurarij
space $\bG$, in particular type isolation and the existence of prime
models, without use of formal logic. \begin{enumerate} \item If $E$
is a finite-dimensional Banach space, then the set of isolated types
over $E$ is dense, and there exists a prime Gurarij over $E$. This is
the unique separable Gurarij space $\bG$ extending $E$ with the unique
Hahn-Banach extension property (\emph{property $U$}), and the orbit
of $\id\colon E \hookrightarrow \bG$ under the action of $\Aut(\bG)$
is a dense $G_\delta$ in the space of all linear isometric embeddings
$E \hookrightarrow \bG$. \item If $E$ is infinite-dimensional then there
are no non realised isolated types, and therefore no prime model over $E$
(unless $\bG \cong E$), and all orbits of embeddings $E \hookrightarrow
\bG$ are meagre. On the other hand, there are Gurarij spaces extending
$E$ with property $U$. \end{enumerate} We also point out that the class
of Gurarij space is the class of models of an $\aleph_0$-categorical
theory with quantifier elimination, and calculate the density character
of the space of types over $E$, answering a question of Avil\'es et al.

This is an announcement for the paper "The fixed point property in a
Banach space isomorphic to $c_0$" by Costas Poulios.
Abstract: We consider a Banach space, which comes naturally from c0 and
it appears in the literature, and we prove that this space has the fixed
point property for non-expansive mappings.

This is an announcement for the paper "$\ell_\infty$-sums and the Banach
space $\ell_\infty/c_0$" by Christina Brech and Piotr Koszmider.
Abstract: We prove that the use of the Continuum Hypothesis in
some results of Drewnowski and Roberts concerning the Banach space
$\ell_\infty/c_0$ cannot be avoided. In particular, we prove that
in the $\omega_2$-Cohen model, $\ell_\infty(c_0(\mathfrak{c}))$ does
not embed isomorphically into $\ell_\infty/c_0$ where $\mathfrak{c}$
is the cardinality of the continuum. It follows that consistently
$\ell_\infty/c_0$ is not isomorphically of the form $\ell_\infty(X)$
for any Banach space $X$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Pointwise products of some Banach
function spaces and factorization" by Pawel Kolwicz, Karol Lesnik and
Lech Maligranda.
Abstract: The well-known factorization theorem of Lozanovski{\u \i} may be
written in the form $L^{1}\equiv E\odot E^{\prime }$, where $\odot $ means
the pointwise product of Banach ideal spaces. A natural generalization
of this problem would be the question when one can factorize $F$ through
$E$, i.e., when $F\equiv E\odot M(E, F) \,$, where $M(E, F) $ is the
space of pointwise multipliers from $E$ to $F$. Properties of $M(E, F) $
were investigated in our earlier paper [KLM12] and here we collect and
prove some properties of the construction $E\odot F$. The formulas for
pointwise product of Calder\'{o}n-Lozanovski{\u \i} $E_{\varphi}$ spaces,
Lorentz spaces and Marcinkiewicz spaces are proved. These results are
then used to prove factorization theorems for these spaces. Finally,
it is proved in Theorem 11 that under some natural assumptions, a
rearrangement invariant Banach function space may be factorized through
Marcinkiewicz space.

This is an announcement for the paper "Gateaux and Hadamard
differentiability via directional differentiability" by Ludek Zajicek.
Abstract: Let $X$ be a separable Banach space, $Y$ a Banach space and
$f: X \to Y$ an arbitrary mapping. Then the following implication holds
at each point $x \in X$ except a $\sigma$-directionally porous set:\
If the one-sided Hadamard directional derivative $f'_{H+}(x,u)$ exists
in all directions $u$ from a set $S_x \subset X$ whose linear span is
dense in $X$, then $f$ is Hadamard differentiable at $x$.
This theorem improves and generalizes a recent result of A.D. Ioffe,
in which the linear span of $S_x$ equals $X$ and $Y = \R$. An analogous
theorem, in which $f$ is pointwise Lipschitz, and which deals with the
usual one-sided derivatives and G\^ ateaux differentiability is also
proved. It generalizes a result of D. Preiss and the author, in which $f$
is supposed to be Lipschitz.

This is an announcement for the paper "A reflexive space whose algebra
of operators is not a Grothendieck" by Tomasz Kania.
Abstract: By a result of Johnson, the Banach space
$F=(\bigoplus_{n=1}^\infty \ell_1^n)_{\ell_\infty}$ contains a
complemented copy of $\ell_1$. We identify $F$ with a complemented
subspace of the space of (bounded, linear) operators on the reflexive
space $(\bigoplus_{n=1}^\infty \ell_1^n)_{\ell_p}$ ($p\in (1,\infty))$,
thus giving a negative answer to the problem posed in the monograph of
Diestel and Uhl which asks whether the space of operators on a reflexive
Banach space is Grothendieck.

This is an announcement for the paper "On mean outer radii of random
polytopes" by David Alonso-Gutierrez, Nikos Dafnis, Maria A. Hernandez
Cifre, and Joscha Prochno.
Abstract: In this paper we introduce a new sequence of quantities
for random polytopes. Let $K_N=\conv\{X_1,\dots,X_N\}$ be a
random polytope generated by independent random vectors uniformly
distributed in an isotropic convex body $K$ of $\R^n$. We prove that
the so-called $k$-th mean outer radius $\widetilde R_k(K_N)$ has order
$\max\{\sqrt{k},\sqrt{\log N}\}L_K$ with high probability if $n^2\leq
N\leq e^{\sqrt{n}}$. We also show that this is also the right order of
the expected value of $\widetilde R_k(K_N)$ in the full range $n\leq
N\leq e^{\sqrt{n}}$.

complementably universal Banach space for Schauder decompositions"
by Joanna Garbulinska.
Abstract: We present an isometric version of the complementably universal
Banach space $\mathbb{P}$ with a Schauder decomposition. The space
$\mathbb{P}$ is isomorphic to Pe\l czy\'nski's space with a universal
basis as well as to Kadec' complementably universal space with the
bounded approximation property.

This is an announcement for the paper "On randomness reduction in the
Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma" by Pawel Wolff.
Abstract: A refinement of so-called fast Johnson-Lindenstrauss
transform, due to Ailon and Chazelle (2006), and Matou\v{s}ek (2008),
is proposed. While it preserves the time efficiency and simplicity of
implementation of the original construction, it reduces randomness
used to generate the random transformation. In the analysis of the
construction two auxiliary results are established which might be
of independent interest: a Bernstein-type inequality for a sum of =
a random sample from a family of independent random variables and a
normal approximation result for such a sum.
