This is an announcement for the paper "Limit theorems for numerical index"
by Asuman Guven Aksoy and Grzegorz Lewicki.
Abstract: We improve upon on a limit theorem for numerical index for
large classes of Banach spaces including vector valued $\ell_p$-spaces
and $\ell_p$-sums of Banach spaces where\\ $1\leq p \leq \infty$. We first
prove $ n_1( X) = \displaystyle \lim_m n_1( X_m)$ for a modified numerical
index $n_1(\, .\, )$. Later, we establish if a norm on $X$ satisfies
the local characterization condition, then $n(X) = \displaystyle\lim_m
n(X_m).$ We also present an example of a Banach space where the local
characterization condition is satisfied.

This is an announcement for the paper "Proper generalized decomposition
for nonlinear convex problems in tensor Banach spaces" by Antonio Falco
and Anthony Nouy.
Abstract: Tensor-based methods are receiving a growing interest in
scientific computing for the numerical solution of problems defined
in high dimensional tensor product spaces. A family of methods called
Proper Generalized Decompositions methods have been recently introduced
for the a priori construction of tensor approximations of the solution
of such problems. In this paper, we give a mathematical analysis of
a family of progressive and updated Proper Generalized Decompositions
for a particular class of problems associated with the minimization of
a convex functional over a reflexive tensor Banach space.

This is an announcement for the paper "Amenability and Ramsey Theory"
by Justin Tatch Moore.
Abstract: The purpose of this article is to connect the notion of the
amenability of a discrete group with a new form of structural Ramsey
theory. The Ramsey theoretic reformulation of amenability constitutes
a considerable weakening of the F\o lner criterion. As a bi-product,
it will be shown that in any non amenable group G, there is a subset E
of G such that no finitely additive probability measure on G measures
all translates of E equally.

This is an announcement for the paper "Covariance estimation for
distributions with 2+ε moments" by Nikhil Srivastava and Roman Vershynin.
Abstract: We study the minimal sample size N=N(n) that suffices to
estimate the covariance matrix of an n-dimensional distribution by the
sample covariance matrix in the operator norm, and with an arbitrary fixed
accuracy. We establish the optimal bound N = O(n) for every distribution
whose k-dimensional marginals have uniformly bounded 2+\epsilon moments
outside the sphere of radius O(\sqrt{k}). In the specific case of
log-concave distributions, this result provides an alternative approach
to the Kannan-Lovasz-Simonovits problem, which was recently solved
by Adamczak, Litvak, Pajor and Tomczak-Jaegermann. Moreover, a lower
estimate on the covariance matrix holds under a weaker assumption --
uniformly bounded 2+\epsilon moments of one-dimensional marginals. Our
argument proceeds by randomizing the spectral sparsification technique
of Batson, Spielman and Srivastava. The spectral edges of the sample
covariance matrix are controlled via the Stieltjes transform evaluated
at carefully chosen random points.

This is an announcement for the paper "On large indecomposable Banach
spaces" by Piotr Koszmider.
Abstract: Hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces may have density
at most continuum (Plichko-Yost, Argyros-Tolias). In this paper we
show that this cannot be proved for indecomposable Banach spaces. We
provide the first example of an indecomposable Banach space of density
two to continuum. The space exists consistently, is of the form C(K)
and it has few operators in the sense that any bounded linear operator
T on C(K) satisfies T(f)=gf+S(f) for every f in C(K), where g is in C(K)
and S is weakly compact (strictly singular).

This is an announcement for the paper "A C(K) Banach space which does
not have the Schroeder-Bernstein property" by Piotr Koszmider.
Abstract: We construct a totally disconnected compact Hausdorff space
N which has clopen subsets M included in L included in N such that N is
homeomorphic to M and hence C(N) is isometric as a Banach space to C(M)
but C(N) is not isomorphic to C(L). This gives two nonisomorphic Banach
spaces of the form C(K) which are isomorphic to complemented subspaces
of each other (even in the above strong isometric sense), providing
a solution to the Schroeder-Bernstein problem for Banach spaces of the
form C(K). N is obtained as a particular compactification of the pairwise
disjoint union of a sequence of Ks for which C(K)s have few operators.

This is an announcement for the paper "Operator space projective tensor
product: Embedding into second dual and ideal structure" by Ranjana
Jain and Ajay Kumar.
Abstract: We prove that for operator spaces $V$ and $W$, the operator
space $V^{**}\otimes_h W^{**}$ can be completely isometrically
embedded into $(V\otimes_h W)^{**}$, $\otimes_h$ being the Haagerup
tensor product. It is also shown that, for exact operator spaces $V$
and $W$, a jointly completely bounded bilinear form on $V\times W$
can be extended uniquely to a separately $w^*$-continuous jointly
completely bounded bilinear form on $ V^{**}\times W^{**}$. This paves
the way to obtain a canonical embedding of $V^{**}\widehat{\otimes}
W^{**}$ into $(V\widehat{\otimes} W)^{**}$ with a continuous inverse,
where $\widehat{\otimes}$ is the operator space projective tensor
product. Further, for $C^*$-algebras $A$ and $B$, we study the (closed)
ideal structure of $A\widehat{\otimes}B$, which, in particular, determines
the lattice of closed ideals of $B(H)\widehat{\otimes} B(H)$ completely.

This is an announcement for the paper "Entanglement thresholds for random
induced states" by Guillaume Aubrun, Stanislaw J. Szarek and Deping Ye.
Abstract: For a random quantum state on $H=C^d \otimes C^d$ obtained
by partial tracing a random pure state on $H \otimes C^s$, we consider
the whether it is typically separable or typically entangled. We show
that a threshold occurs when the environment dimension $s$ is of order
roughly $d^3$. More precisely, when $s \leq cd^3$, such a random state is
entangled with very large probability, while when $s \geq Cd^3 \log^2 d$,
it is separable with very large probability (here $C,c>0$ are appropriate
effectively computable universal constants). Our proofs rely on random
matrices, classical convexity, high-dimensional probability and geometry
of Banach spaces. Our methods work also for multipartite systems and for
"unbalanced" systems such as $C^{d} \otimes C^{d'}$, $d \neq d' $.

This is an announcement for the paper "A hidden characterization of
polyhedral convex sets" by Taras Banakh and Ivan Hetman.
Abstract: We prove that a closed convex subset $C$ of a complete linear
metric space $X$ is polyhedral in its closed linear hull if and only if no
infinite subset $A\subset X\backslash C$ can be hidden behind $C$ in the
sense $[x,y]\cap C\not = \emptyset$ for any distinct points $x,y\in A$.
