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. - ----------------------------------------------- Ricardo Verotti O.

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.
