This is an announcement for the paper "Angles and a classification of
normed spaces" by Volker Wilhelm Thurey.
Abstract: We suggest a concept of generalized `angles' in arbitrary real
normed vector spaces. We give for each real number a definition of an
`angle' by means of the shape of the unit ball. They all yield the well
known Euclidean angle in the special case of real inner product spaces.
With these different angles we achieve a classification of normed spaces,
and we obtain a characterization of inner product spaces. Finally we
consider this construction also for a generalization of normed spaces,
i.e. for spaces which may have a non-convex unit ball.

This is an announcement for the paper "Hilbert-Schauder frame operators"
by Rui Liu.
Abstract: We introduce a new concept of frame operators for Banach spaces
we call a Hilbert-Schauder frame operator. This is a hybird between
standard frame theory for Hilbert spaces and Schauder frame theory for
Banach spaces. Most of our results involve basic structure properties
of the Hilbert-Schauder frame operator. Examples of Hilbert-Schauder
frames include standard Hilbert frames and classical bases of $\ell_p$
and $L^p$-spaces with $1< p \le 2$. Finally, we give a new isomorphic
characterization of Hilbert spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "On absolutely representing families
of subspaces in Banach spaces" by Ivan S. Feshchenko.
Abstract: An absolutely representing family of subspaces is a natural
generalization of an absolutely representing system of subspaces and
absolutely representing system (of elements).
We obtain necessary and (or) sufficient conditions for a family of
subspaces to be an absolutely representing family of subspaces and
study properties of absolutely representing families of subspaces in
Banach spaces. As an example, we study families of subspaces spanned
by exponents.

This is an announcement for the paper "The ideal of weakly compactly
generated operators acting on a Banach space" by Tomasz Kania and Tomasz
Kochanek.
Abstract: We call a bounded linear operator acting between Banach spaces
weakly compactly generated ($\mathsf{WCG}$ for short) if its range is
contained in a weakly compactly generated subspace of its codomain. This
notion simultaneously generalises being weakly compact and having
separable range. In a comprehensive study of the class of $\mathsf{WCG}$
operators, we prove that it forms a closed surjective operator ideal
and investigate its relations to other classical operator ideals. By
considering the $p$th long James space $\mathcal{J}_p(\omega_1)$, we
show how properties of the ideal of $\mathsf{WCG}$ operators (such
as being the unique maximal ideal) may be used to derive results
outside ideal theory. For instance, we identify the $K_0$-group of
$\mathscr{B}(\mathcal{J}_p(\omega_1))$ as the additive group of integers.

This is an announcement for the paper "Thrifty approximations of convex
bodies by polytopes" by Alexander Barvinok.
Abstract: Given a convex body C in R^d we construct a polytope P in C
with relatively few vertices which approximates C relatively well. In
particular, we prove that if C=-C then for any 1>epsilon>0 to have P in
C and C in (1+epsilon) P one can choose P having roughly epsilon^{-d/2}
vertices and for P in C and C in sqrt{epsilon d} P one can choose P
having roughly d^{1/epsilon} vertices. Similarly, we prove that if
C in R^d is a convex body such that -C in mu C for some mu > 1 then
to have P in C and C in (1+epsilon)P one can choose P having roughly
(mu/epsilon)^{d/2} vertices.

This is an announcement for the paper "Embeddability of snowflaked metrics
with applications to the nonlinear geometry of the spaces $L_p$ and
$\ell_{p}$ for $0<p<\infty$" by Fernando Albiac and Florent Baudier.
Abstract: We study the classical spaces $L_{p}$ and $\ell_{p}$ for the
whole range $0<p<\infty$ from a metric viewpoint and give a complete
Lipschitz embeddability roadmap between any two of those spaces when
equipped with both their ad-hoc distances and their snowflakings. Through
connections with weaker forms of embeddings that lead to basic
(yet fundamental) open problems, we also set the challenging goal
of understanding the dissimilarities between the well-known subspace
structure and the different nonlinear geometries that coexist inside
$L_{p}$ and $\ell_{p}$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Super-ideals in Banach spaces"
by Trond A. Abrahamsen Vegard Lima, and Olav Nygaard.
Abstract: A natural class of ideals, super-ideals, of Banach spaces
is defined and studied. The motivation for working with this class of
subspaces is our observations that they inherit diameter 2 properties and
the Daugavet property. Lindenstrauss spaces are known to be the class of
Banach spaces which are ideals in every superspace; we show that being a
super-ideal in every superspace characterizes the class of Gurarii spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the polynomial Lindenstrauss
theorem" by Daniel Carando, Silvia Lassalle and Martin Mazzitelli.
Abstract: Under certain hypotheses on the Banach space $X$, we show that
the set of $N$-homogeneous polynomials from $X$ to any dual space, whose
Aron-Berner extensions are norm attaining, is dense in the space of all
continuous $N$-homogeneous polynomials. To this end we prove an integral
formula for the duality between tensor products and polynomials. We
also exhibit examples of Lorentz sequence spaces for which there is
no polynomial Bishop-Phelps theorem, but our results apply. Finally
we address quantitative versions, in the sense of Bollob\'as, of these
results.

This is an announcement for the paper "Linear selections of superlinear
set-valued maps with some applications to analysis" by Dmitry V. Rutsky.
Abstract: A. Ya. Zaslavskii's results on the existence of a linear
(affine) selection for a linear (affine) or superlinear (convex) map
$\Phi : K \to 2^Y$ defined on a convex cone (convex set) $K$ having the
interpolation property are extended. We prove that they hold true under
more general conditions on the values of the mapping and study some other
properties of the selections. This leads to a characterization of Choquet
simplexes in terms of the existence of continuous affine selections for
arbitrary continuous convex maps. A few applications to analysis are
given, including a construction that leads to the existence of a (not
necessarily bounded) solution for the corona problem in polydisk $\mathbb
D^n$ with radial boundary values that are bounded almost everywhere on
$\mathbb T^n$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Convergence in shape of Steiner
symmetrizations" by Gabriele Bianchi, Almut Burchard, Paolo Gronchi,
and Aljosa Volcic.
Abstract: There are sequences of directions such that, given any compact
set K in R^n, the sequence of iterated Steiner symmetrals of K in these
directions converges to a ball. However examples show that Steiner
symmetrization along a sequence of directions whose differences are
square summable does not generally converge. (Note that this may happen
even with sequences of directions which are dense in S^{n-1}.) Here we
show that such sequences converge in shape. The limit need not be an
ellipsoid or even a convex set.
We also deal with uniformly distributed sequences of directions,
and with a recent result of Klain on Steiner symmetrization along
sequences chosen from a finite set of directions.
