The School of Arts and Sciences at the University of Houston -
Victoria (UHV) invites applications for a Mathematics lecturer position
starting in the Spring of 2012.
We seek applicants preferably in the area of functional analysis,
Banach Space Theory, Fixed Point theory. The starting date of the
appointment is somewhat flexible, and we may accept applicants who are
about to defend their PhD dissertation. The expected duties are mainly
teaching four freshman courses per semester (Fall and Spring) and do
service as well. The appointment is initially budgeted for one year,
but is expected to last longer, renewed anually.
Applicants should submit a letter of application, AMS cover sheet,
CV, and have three letters of evaluation sent, preferably by email to
teixeirar(a)uhv.edu. Applications received by October 15,
2011 will receive full consideration; applications will be accepted
until the position is filled.
UHV is a university with almost 5,000 students, located in Texas, 2
hours from major cities like Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Corpus Christi,
and 3 hours from College Station. Most of the classes will have 25
or less students. Victoria is a city with almost 100 thousand people,
with little of everything. We have applied people working in Computer
Sciences, Biology and Statistics, and we are planning on strengthening
the abstract Mathematics.
UHV is committed to diversity and is an affirmative action, equal
opportunity employer. Applications from women or minorities are
especially encouraged.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the approximation of a polytope
by its dual $L_{p}$-centroid bodies" by Grigoris Paouris and Elisabeth
M. Werner.
Abstract: We show that the rate of convergence on the approximation of
volumes of a convex symmetric polytope P in R^n by its dual L_{p$-centroid
bodies is independent of the geometry of P. In particular we show that
if P has volume 1,
lim_{p\rightarrow \infty} \frac{p}{\log{p}} \left(
\frac{|Z_{p}^{\circ}(P)|}{|P^{\circ}|} -1 \right) = n^{2} .
We provide an application to the approximation of polytopes by uniformly
convex sets.

This is an announcement for the paper "Calderon couples of p-convexified
Banach lattices" by Eliran Avni.
Abstract: We deal with the question of whether or not the p-convexified
couple (X_0^{(p)},X_1^{(p)}) is a Calderon couple under the assumption
that (X_0,X_1) is a Calderon couple of Banach lattices on some measure
space. In this preliminary version of the paper we find that the answer
is affirmative in the simple case where X_0 and X_1 are sequence spaces
and an additional “positivity” assumption is imposed regarding
(X_0,X_1). We also prove a quantitative version of the result with
appropriate norm estimates. In future versions of this paper we plan to
deal with other and more general cases of these results.

This is an announcement for the paper "Isomorphisms and strictly
singular operators in mixed Tsirelson spaces" by Denka Kutzarova,
Antonis Manoussakis, and Anna Pelczar-Barwacz.
Abstract: We study the family of isomorphisms and strictly singular
operators in mixed Tsirelson spaces and their modified versions
setting. We show sequential minimality of modified mixed Tsirelson spaces
$T_M[(\mc{S}_n,\theta_n)]$ satisfying some regularity conditions and
present results on existence of strictly singular non-compact operators on
subspaces of mixed Tsirelson spaces defined by the families $(\mc{A}_n)_n$
and $(\mc{S}_n)_n$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Vector-valued decoupling and the
Burkholder-Davis-Gundy inequality" by Sonja Cox and Mark Veraar.
Abstract: Let X be a Banach space. We prove p-independence of the
one-sided decoupling inequality for X-valued tangent martingales as
introduced by Kwapien and Woyczynski. It is known that a Banach space X
satisfies the two-sided decoupling inequality if and only if X is a UMD
Banach space. The one-sided decoupling inequality is a weaker property,
including e.g. the space L^1. We provide information on the optimal
constants for various spaces, and give a upper estimate of order p in
general. In the second part of our paper we derive Burkholder-Davis-Gundy
type estimates for p-th moments, p in (0,infty), of X-valued stochastic
integrals, provided X is a UMD Banach space or a space in which the
one-sided decoupling inequality holds.

This is an announcement for the paper "Factoring Sobolev inequalities
through classes of functions" by David Alonso-Gutierrez, Jesus Bastero
and Julio Bernues.
Abstract: We recall two approaches to recent improvements of the classical
Sobolev inequality. The first one follows the point of view of Real
Analysis, while the second one relies on tools from Convex Geometry. In
this paper we prove a (sharp) connection between them.

This is an announcement for the paper "Wiener's 'closure of translates'
problem and Piatetski-Shapiro's uniqueness phenomenon" by Nir Lev and
Alexander Olevskii.
Abstract: Wiener characterized the cyclic vectors (with respect to
translations) in $l^p(Z)$ and $L^p(R)$, $p=1,2$, in terms of the zero set
of the Fourier transform. He conjectured that a similar characterization
should be true for $1<p<2$. Our main result contradicts this conjecture.

This is an announcement for the paper "Some representation theorem for
nonreflexive Banach space ultrapowers under the Continuum Hypothesis"
by Piotr Wilczek.
Abstract: In this paper it will be shown that assuming the Continuum
Hypothesis (CH) every nonreflexive Banach space ultrapower is
isometrically isomorphic to the space of continuous, bounded and
real-valued functions on the Parovicenko space. This Representation
Theorem will be helpful in proving some facts from geometry and topology
of nonreflexive Banach space ultrapowers.

This is an announcement for the paper "Under the Continuum Hypothesis
all nonreflexive Banach space ultrapowers are primary" by Piotr Wilczek.
Abstract: In this note a large class of primary Banach spaces is
characterized. Namely, it will be demonstrated that under the Continuum
Hypothesis the ultrapower of any infinite dimensional nonsuperreflexive
Banach space is always primary. Consequently, any infinite dimensional
nonsuperreflexive Banach space can be isometrically embedded into its
primary ultrapowers.

This is an announcement for the paper "On p-compact mappings and
p-approximation" by Silvia Lassalle and Pablo Turco.
Abstract: The notion of $p$-compact sets arises naturally from
Grothendieck's characterization of compact sets as those contained
in the convex hull of a norm null sequence. The definition, due to
Sinha and Karn (2002), leads to the concepts of $p$-approximation
property and $p$-compact operators, which form a ideal with its ideal
norm $\kappa_p$. This paper examines the interaction between the
$p$-approximation property and the space of holomorphic functions.
Here, the $p$-compact analytic functions play a crucial role. In order
to understand this type of functions we define a $p$-compact radius of
convergence which allow us to give a characterization of the functions
in the class. We show that $p$-compact holomorphic functions behave more
like nuclear than compact maps. We use the $\epsilon$-product, defined
by Schwartz, to characterize the $p$-approximation property of a Banach
space in terms of $p$-compact homogeneous polynomials and also in terms
of $p$-compact holomorphic functions with range on the space. Finally,
we show that $p$-compact holomorphic functions fit in the framework of
holomorphy types which allows us to inspect the $\kappa_p$-approximation
property. Along these notes we solve several questions posed by Aron,
Maestre and Rueda.
