This is an announcement for the paper "Some implications of Lebesgue
decomposition" by Gianluca Cassese.
Abstract: Based on a generalization of Lebesgue decomposition we obtain a
characterization of weak compactness in the space $ba$, a representation
of its dual space and some results on the structure of finitely additive
measures.

This is an announcement for the paper "Strictly singular non-compact
operators on a class of HI spaces" by Antonis Manoussakis and Anna
Pelczar-Barwacz.
Abstract: We present a method for constructing bounded strictly singular
non-compact operators on mixed Tsirelson spaces defined either by the
families (A_n) or (S_n) of a certain class, as well as on spaces built
on them, including hereditarily indecomposable spaces.

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 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.

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.
