This is an announcement for the paper "Shift invariant preduals of
$\ell_1(\Z)$" by Matthew Daws, Richard Haydon, Thomas Schlumprecht,
and Stuart White.
Abstract: The Banach space $\ell_1(\Z)$ admits many non-isomorphic
preduals, for example, $C(K)$ for any compact countable space $K$, along
with many more exotic Banach spaces. In this paper, we impose an extra
condition: the predual must make the bilateral shift on $\ell_1(\Z)$
weak$^*$-continuous. This is equivalent to making the natural convolution
multiplication on $\ell_1(\Z)$ separately weak$*$-continuous and so
turning $\ell_1(\Z)$ into a dual Banach algebra. We call such preduals
\emph{shift-invariant}. It is known that the only shift-invariant predual
arising from the standard duality between $C_0(K)$ (for countable locally
compact $K$) and $\ell_1(\Z)$ is $c_0(\Z)$. We provide an explicit
construction of an uncountable family of distinct preduals which do make
the bilateral shift weak$^*$-continuous. Using Szlenk index arguments,
we show that merely as Banach spaces, these are all isomorphic to
$c_0$. We then build some theory to study such preduals, showing that
they arise from certain semigroup compactifications of $\Z$. This allows
us to produce a large number of other examples, including non-isometric
preduals, and preduals which are not Banach space isomorphic to $c_0$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Uniformly convex subsets of the
Hilbert space with modulus of convexity of the second order" by Maxim
V. Balashov and Dusan Repovs.
Abstract: We prove that in the Hilbert space every uniformly convex set
with modulus of convexity of the second order at zero is an intersection
of closed balls of fixed radius. We also obtain an estimate of this
radius.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the approximate fixed point
property in abstract spaces" by Cleon S. Barroso, Ondrej F.K. Kalenda
and Pei-Kee Lin.
Abstract: Let $X$ be a Hausdorff topological vector space, $X^*$
its topological dual and $Z$ a subset of $X^*$. In this paper, we
establish some results concerning the $\sigma(X,Z)$-approximate fixed
point property for bounded, closed convex subsets $C$ of $X$. Three
major situations are studied. First when $Z$ is separable in the strong
topology. Second when $X$ is a metrizable locally convex space and
$Z=X^*$, and third when $X$ is not necessarily metrizable but admits
a metrizable locally convex topology compatible with the duality. Our
approach focuses on establishing the Fr\'echet-Urysohn property for
certain sets with regarding the $\sigma(X,Z)$-topology. The support tools
include the Brouwer's fixed point theorem and an analogous version of
the classical Rosenthal's $\ell_1$-theorem for $\ell_1$-sequences in
metrizable case. The results are novel and generalize previous work
obtained by the authors in Banach spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "A multivariate Gnedenko law of
large numbers" by Daniel Fresen.
Abstract: We show that the convex hull of a large i.i.d. sample from a
non-vanishing log-concave distribution approximates a pre-determined
body in the logarithmic Hausdorff distance and in the Banach-Mazur
distance. For p-log-concave distributions with p>1 (such as the normal
distribution where p=2) we also have approximation in the Hausdorff
distance. These are multivariate versions of the Gnedenko law of large
numbers which gaurantees concentration of the maximum and minimum in the
one dimensional case. We give three different deterministic bodies that
serve as approximants to the random body. The first is the floating body
that serves as a multivariate quantile, the second body is given as a
contour of the density function, and the third body is given in terms
of the Radon transform. We end the paper by constructing a probability
measure with an interesting universality property.

This is an announcement for the paper "Reproducing kernel Banach
spaces with the l1 norm II: Error analysis for regularized least square
regression" by Guohui Song, Haizhang Zhang.
Abstract: A typical approach in estimating the learning rate of a
regularized learning scheme is to bound the approximation error by the
sum of the sampling error, the hypothesis error and the regularization
error. Using a reproducing kernel space that satisfies the linear
representer theorem brings the advantage of discarding the hypothesis
error from the sum automatically. Following this direction, we illustrate
how reproducing kernel Banach spaces with the l1 norm can be applied
to improve the learning rate estimate of l1-regularization in machine
learning.

This is an announcement for the paper "Reproducing kernel Banach spaces
with the l1 norm" by Guohui Song, Haizhang Zhang, Fred J. Hickernell.
Abstract: Targeting at sparse learning, we construct Banach spaces B of
functions on an input space X with the properties that (1) B possesses
an l1 norm in the sense that it is isometrically isomorphic to the
Banach space of integrable functions on X with respect to the counting
measure; (2) point evaluations are continuous linear functionals on B
and are representable through a bilinear form with a kernel function;
(3) regularized learning schemes on B satisfy the linear representer
theorem. Examples of kernel functions admissible for the construction
of such spaces are given.

of $L^p(G)$" by H. Garth Dales, Matthew Daws, Hung Le Pham, Paul Ramsden.
Abstract: Let $G$ be a locally compact group, and take
$p\in(1,\infty)$. We prove that the Banach left $L^1(G)$-module $L^p(G)$
is injective (if and) only if the group $G$ is amenable. Our proof uses
the notion of multi-norms. We also develop the theory of multi-normed
spaces.
