This is an announcement for the paper "Higher order spreading models" by S. A. Argyros, V. Kanellopoulos, and K. Tyros. Abstract: We introduce the higher order spreading models associated to a Banach space $X$. Their definition is based on $\ff$-sequences $(x_s)_{s\in\ff}$ with $\ff$ a regular thin family and the plegma families. We show that the higher order spreading models of a Banach space $X$ form an increasing transfinite hierarchy $(\mathcal{SM}_\xi(X))_{\xi<\omega_1}$. Each $\mathcal{SM}_\xi (X)$ contains all spreading models generated by $\ff$-sequences $(x_s)_{s\in\ff}$ with order of $\ff$ equal to $\xi$. We also provide a study of the fundamental properties of the hierarchy.

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.

Workshop at A&M
by Bill Johnson 13 Mar '12

13 Mar '12

Workshop in Analysis and Probability Department of Mathematics Texas A&M University Summer 2012 The Summer 2012 Workshop in Analysis and Probability at Texas A&M University will be in session from July 2 until August 10, 2012. For information about the Workshop, consult the Workshop Home Page, whose NEW URL is http://www.math.tamu.edu/~kerr/workshop/ The Informal Regional Functional Analysis Seminar (SUMIRFAS) will be held August 3-5. July 16 - 19 there will be a Concentration Week on "Frame Theory and Maps Between Operator Algebras", organized by Chris Heil, Emily J. King (chair), Keri Kornelson, David Larson (local organizer), and Darrin Speegle. A researcher working in frame theory will naturally be led to consider matrices (the Gram matrix, the analysis operator and the synthesis operator), and many problems in frame theory have a re-casting in operator theory. The most celebrated example of this is the Kadison-Singer problem. By now, there are many mathematicians familiar with the basics of the two areas, and there is a fruitful collaboration. Less obvious is the relationship between frame theory and maps between operator algebras. Very recent work in this area by Han, Larson, Lu, and Lu indicate that this may be a relationship that is ripe for exploiting. The goal of this concentration week is to bring together researchers in these two fields so that they may learn from one another and build networks of potential collaborators. There will be introductory series of talks on "Frame theory" by Ole Christensen, on "Maps on Operator Algebras" by Vern Paulsen, and on "Bridging the Gap Between Frame Theory and Maps on Operator Algebras" by Deguang Han. This concentration week will also lead into a separate conference on the following weekend celebrating the 70th birthday of David Larson. The home page for this Workshop is at http://page.math.tu-berlin.de/~king/cw.html August 6-10 there will be a Concentration Week on "Recent advances in Harmonic Analysis and Spectral Theory", organized by Andrew Comech, David Damanik, Constanze Liaw (chair), and Alexei Poltoratski. This CW is designed to bring together two groups of experts: those specializing in complex and harmonic analysis and those working in spectral theory of differential operators and mathematical physics. The main goals of the CW are to study new relationships and to widen further participation in this area in the United States. Introductory series of lectures by Stephen Gustafson, Svetlana Jitomirskaya (to be confirmed), Helge Krueger, and Brett Wick are planned to acquaint non-experts with these topics with the reasonable expectation that some the participants in the larger Workshop will be attracted to this program and inject new ideas into the area. The home page for this Workshop is at http://www.math.tamu.edu/~comech/events/hast-2012/ The Workshop is supported in part by grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF). Minorities, women, graduate students, and young researchers are especially encouraged to attend. For logistical support, including requests for support, please contact Cara Barton <cara(a)math.tamu.edu>. For more information on the Workshop itself, please contact William Johnson <johnson(a)math.tamu.edu>, David Kerr <kerr(a)math.tamu.edu>, or Gilles Pisier <pisier(a)math.tamu.edu>.

Abstract of a paper by Cleon S. Barroso

This is an announcement for the paper "On the minimal space problem and a new result on existence of basic sequences in quasi-Banach spaces" by Cleon S. Barroso. Abstract: We prove that if $X$ is a quasi-normed space which possesses an infinite countable dimensional subspace with a separating dual, then it admits a strictly weaker Hausdorff vector topology. Such a topology is constructed explicitly. As an immediate consequence, we obtain an improvement of a well-known result of Kalton-Shapiro and Drewnowski by showing that a quasi-Banach space contains a basic sequence if and only if it contains an infinite countable dimensional subspace whose dual is separating. We also use this result to highlight a new feature of the minimal quasi-Banach space constructed by Kalton. Namely, which all of its $\aleph_0$-dimensional subspaces fail to have a separating family of continuous linear functionals.

This is an announcement for the paper "Discretization and affine approximation in high dimensions" by Sean Li and Assaf Naor. Abstract: Lower estimates are obtained for the macroscopic scale of affine approximability of vector-valued Lipschitz functions on finite dimensional normed spaces, completing the work of Bates, Johnson, Lindenstrass, Preiss and Schechtman. This yields a new approach to Bourgain's discretization theorem for superreflexive targets.

This is an announcement for the paper "Upper and lower estimates for Schauder frames and atomic decompositions" by Kevin Beanland, Daniel Freeman, and Rui Liu. Abstract: We prove that a Schauder frame for any separable Banach space is shrinking if and only if it has an associated space with a shrinking basis, and that a Schauder frame for any separable Banach space is shrinking and boundedly complete if and only if it has a reflexive associated space. To obtain these results, we prove that the upper and lower estimate theorems for finite dimensional decompositions of Banach spaces can be extended and modified to Schauder frames. We show as well that if a separable infinite dimensional Banach space has a Schauder frame, then it also has a Schauder frame which is not shrinking.

This is an announcement for the paper "The road to deterministic matrices with the restricted isometry property" by Afonso S. Bandeira, Matthew Fickus, Dustin G. Mixon and Percy Wong. Abstract: The restricted isometry property (RIP) is a well-known matrix condition that provides state-of-the-art reconstruction guarantees for compressed sensing. While random matrices are known to satisfy this property with high probability, deterministic constructions have found less success. In this paper, we consider various techniques for demonstrating RIP deterministically, some popular and some novel, and we evaluate their performance. In evaluating some techniques, we apply random matrix theory and inadvertently find a simple alternative proof that certain random matrices are RIP. Later, we propose a particular class of matrices as candidates for being RIP, namely, equiangular tight frames (ETFs). Using the known correspondence between real ETFs and strongly regular graphs, we investigate certain combinatorial implications of a real ETF being RIP. Specifically, we give probabilistic intuition for a new bound on the clique number of Paley graphs of prime order, and we conjecture that the corresponding ETFs are RIP in a manner similar to random matrices.
