This is an announcement for the paper "Interpolations, convexity and
geometric inequalities" by Dario Cordero-Erausquin and Boaz Klartag.
Abstract: We survey some interplays between spectral estimates of
H\"ormander-type, degenerate Monge-Amp\`ere equations and geometric
inequalities related to log-concavity such as Brunn-Minkowski, Santal\'o
or Busemann inequalities.

This is an announcement for the paper "Real interpolation between row
and column spaces" by Gilles Pisier.
Abstract: We give an equivalent expression for the $K$-functional
associated to the pair of operator spaces $(R,C)$ formed by the rows
and columns respectively. This yields a description of the real
interpolation spaces for the pair $(M_n(R), M_n(C))$ (uniformly over
$n$). More generally, the same result is valid when $M_n$ (or $B(\ell_2)$)
is replaced by any semi-finite von~Neumann algebra. We prove a version
of the non-commutative Khintchine inequalities (originally due to
Lust--Piquard) that is valid for the Lorentz spaces $L_{p,q}(\tau)$
associated to a non-commutative measure $\tau$, simultaneously for the
whole range $1\le p,q< \infty$, regardless whether $p<2 $ or $p>2$.
Actually, the main novelty is the case $p=2,q\not=2$. We also prove a
certain simultaneous decomposition property for the operator norm and
the Hilbert-Schmidt one.

This is an announcement for the paper "The Giesy--James theorem for
general index $p$, with an application to operator ideals on the $p$th
James space" by Alistair Bird, Graham Jameson and Niels Jakob Laustsen.
Abstract: A theorem of Giesy and James states that $c_0$ is finitely
representable in James' quasi-reflexive Banach space $J_2$. We extend this
theorem to the $p$th quasi-reflexive James space $J_p$ for each $p \in
(1,\infty)$. As an application, we obtain a new closed ideal of operators
on $J_p$, namely the closure of the set of operators that factor through
the complemented subspace $(\ell_\infty^1 \oplus \ell_\infty^2 \oplus
\cdots \oplus \ell_\infty^n \oplus \cdots)_{\ell_p}$ of $J_p$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Real interpolation and
transposition of certain function spaces" by Gilles Pisier.
Abstract: Our starting point is a lemma due to Varopoulos. We give
a different proof of a generalized form this lemma, that yields an
equivalent description of the $K$-functional for the interpolation
couple $(X_0,X_1)$ where $X_0=L_{p_0,\infty}(\mu_1; L_q(\mu_2))$ and
$X_1=L_{p_1,\infty}(\mu_2; L_q(\mu_1))$ where $0<q<p_0,p_1\le \infty$ and
$(\Omega_1,\mu_1), (\Omega_2,\mu_2)$ are arbitrary measure spaces. When
$q=1$, this implies that the space $(X_0,X_1)_{\theta,\infty}$
($0<\theta<1$) can be identified with a certain space of operators. We
also give an extension of the Varopoulos Lemma to pairs (or finite
families) of conditional expectations that seems of independent
interest. The present paper is motivated by non-commutative applications
that we choose to publish separately.

This is an announcement for the paper "Rate of convergence of random
polarizations" by Almut Burchard.
Abstract: After n random polarizations of Borel set on a sphere, its
expected symmetric difference from a polar cap is bounded by C/n, where
the constant depends on the dimension [arXiv:1104.4103]. We show here
that this power law is best possible, and that the constant grows at
least linearly with the dimension.

This is an announcement for the paper "Absorbing angles, Steiner minimal
trees, and antipodality" by Horst Martini, Konrad J. Swanepoel, and
P. Oloff de Wet.
Abstract: We give a new proof that a star $\{op_i:i=1,\dots,k\}$
in a normed plane is a Steiner minimal tree of its vertices
$\{o,p_1,\dots,p_k\}$ if and only if all angles formed by the edges at
$o$ are absorbing [Swanepoel, Networks \textbf{36} (2000), 104--113]. The
proof is more conceptual and simpler than the original one.
We also find a new sufficient condition for higher-dimensional normed
spaces to share this characterization. In particular, a star $\{op_i:
i=1,\dots,k\}$ in any CL-space is a Steiner minimal tree of its vertices
$\{o,p_1,\dots,p_k\}$ if and only if all angles are absorbing, which
in turn holds if and only if all distances between the normalizations
$\frac{1}{\|p_i\|}p_i$ equal $2$. CL-spaces include the mixed $\ell_1$
and $\ell_\infty$ sum of finitely many copies of $R^1$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Inner regularization of log-concave measures and small-ball estimates" by Boaz Klartag and Emanuel Milman.
Authors: Bo'az Klartag and Emanuel Milman
Abstract: In the study of concentration properties of isotropic
log-concave measures, it is often useful to first ensure that the measure
has super-Gaussian marginals. To this end, a standard preprocessing step
is to convolve with a Gaussian measure, but this has the disadvantage of
destroying small-ball information. We propose an alternative preprocessing
step for making the measure seem super-Gaussian, at least up to reasonably
high moments, which does not suffer from this caveat: namely, convolving
the measure with a random orthogonal image of itself. As an application
of this ``inner-thickening", we recover Paouris' small-ball estimates.

This is an announcement for the paper "Sharp isoperimetric inequalities and model spaces for curvature-dimension-diameter condition" by Emanuel Milman.
Abstract: We obtain new sharp isoperimetric inequalities on a Riemannian
manifold equipped with a probability measure, whose generalized Ricci
curvature is bounded from below (possibly negatively), and generalized
dimension and diameter of the convex support are bounded from above
(possibly infinitely). Our inequalities are \emph{sharp} for sets
of any given measure and with respect to all parameters (curvature,
dimension and diameter). Moreover, for each choice of parameters, we
identify the \emph{model spaces} which are extremal for the isoperimetric
problem. In particular, we recover the Gromov--L\'evy and Bakry--Ledoux
isoperimetric inequalities, which state that whenever the curvature is
strictly \emph{positively} bounded from below, these model spaces are
the $n$-sphere and Gauss space, corresponding to generalized dimension
being $n$ and $\infty$, respectively. In all other cases, which seem new
even for the classical Riemannian-volume measure, it turns out that there
is no \emph{single} model space to compare to, and that a simultaneous
comparison to a natural \emph{one parameter family} of model spaces is
required, nevertheless yielding a sharp result.

This is an announcement for the paper "Geometry of integral polynomials,
$M$-ideals and unique norm preserving extensions" by Veronica Dimant,
Daniel Galicer and Ricardo Garcia.
Abstract: We use the Aron-Berner extension to prove that the set of
extreme points of the unit ball of the space of integral polynomials
over a real Banach space $X$ is $\{\pm \phi^k: \phi \in X^*, \|
\phi\|=1\}$. With this description we show that, for real Banach
spaces $X$ and $Y$, if $X$ is a non trivial $M$-ideal in $Y$, then
$\widehat\bigotimes^{k,s}_{\varepsilon_{k,s}} X$ (the $k$-th symmetric
tensor product of $X$ endowed with the injective symmetric tensor norm) is
\emph{never} an $M$-ideal in $\widehat\bigotimes^{k,s}_{\varepsilon_{k,s}}
Y$. This result marks up a difference with the behavior of non-symmetric
tensors since, when $X$ is an $M$-ideal in $Y$, it is known that
$\widehat\bigotimes^k_{\varepsilon_k} X$ (the $k$-th tensor product
of $X$ endowed with the injective tensor norm) is an $M$-ideal in
$\widehat\bigotimes^k_{\varepsilon_k} Y$. Nevertheless, if $X$ is Asplund,
we prove that every integral $k$-homogeneous polynomial in $X$ has a
unique extension to $Y$ that preserves the integral norm. We explicitly
describe this extension.
We also give necessary and sufficient conditions (related with the
continuity of the Aron-Berner extension morphism) for a fixed
$k$-homogeneous polynomial $P$ belonging to a maximal polynomial ideal
$\Q(^kX)$ to have a unique norm preserving extension to $\Q(^kX^{**})$. To
this end, we study the relationship between the bidual of the symmetric
tensor product of a Banach space and the symmetric tensor product of its
bidual and show (in the presence of the BAP) that both spaces have `the
same local structure'. Other applications to the metric and isomorphic
theory of symmetric tensor products and polynomial ideals are also given.
