This is an announcement for the paper "Strictly convex norms and topology"
by Jose Orihuela, Richard J. Smith, and Stanimir Troyanski.
Abstract: We introduce a new topological property called (*) and the
corresponding class of topological spaces, which includes spaces with
$G_\delta$-diagonals and Gruenhage spaces. Using (*), we characterise
those Banach spaces which admit equivalent strictly convex norms, and
give an internal topological characterisation of those scattered compact
spaces $K$, for which the dual Banach space $C(K)^*$ admits an equivalent
strictly convex dual norm. We establish some relationships between (*)
and other topological concepts, and the position of several well-known
examples in this context. For instance, we show that $C(\mathcal{K})^*$
admits an equivalent strictly convex dual norm, where $\mathcal{K}$
is Kunen's compact space. Also, under the continuum hypothesis CH,
we give an example of a compact scattered non-Gruenhage space having (*).

This is an announcement for the paper "Radon-Nikodym compact spaces of
low weight and Banach spaces" by Antonio Aviles.
Abstract: We prove that a continuous image of a Radon-Nikod\'{y}m
compact space of weight less than b is Radon-Nikod\'{y}m compact. As a
Banach space counterpart, subspaces of Asplund generated Banach spaces
of density character less than b are Asplund generated. In this case,
in addition, there exists a subspace of an Asplund generated space which
is not Asplund generated which has density character exactly b.

This is an announcement for the paper "A Boolean algebra and a Banach
space obtained by push-out iteration" by Antonio Aviles and Christina
Brech.
Abstract: Under the assumption that the continuum c is a regular cardinal,
we prove the existence and uniqueness of a Boolean algebra B of size
c defined by sharing the main structural properties that P(N)/fin has
under CH and in the aleph2-Cohen model. We prove a similar result in
the category of Banach spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "The foundational inequalities of
D.L. Burkholder and some of their ramifications" by Rodrigo Banuelos.
Abstract: This paper present an overview of some of the applications of
the martingale transform inequalities of D.L.~Burkholder to $L^p$-bounds
for singular integrals concentrating on $L^p$-bounds for the Hilbert,
Riesz, Beurling-Ahlfors transforms and other multipliers obtained by
projections (conditional expectations) of transformations of stochastic
integrals. The aim is to obtain optimal, or near optimal, bounds in
these inequalities.
Connections to other areas of mathematics where these inequalities
and the techniques to prove them have become of considerable interest
in recent years, are also discussed.

This is an announcement for the paper "Real analytic approximations
which almost preserve Lipschitz constants of functions defined on the
Hilbert space" by D. Azagra, R. Fry, and L. Keener.
Abstract: Let $X$ be a separable real Hilbert space. We show that for
every Lipschitz function $f:X\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$, and for every
$\varepsilon>0$, there exists a Lipschitz, real analytic function
$g:X\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ such that $|f(x)-g(x)|\leq \varepsilon$
and $\textrm{Lip}(g)\leq \textrm{Lip}(f)+\varepsilon$.

This is an announcement for the paper "A $c_0$ saturated Banach space
with tight structure" by Spiros A. Argyros and Giorgos Petsoulas.
Abstract: It is shown that variants of the HI methods could yield objects
closely connected to the classical Banach spaces. Thus we present a new
$c_0$ saturated space, denoted as $\mathfrak{X}_0$, with rather tight
structure. The space $\mathfrak{X}_0$ is not embedded into a space with
an unconditional basis and its complemented subspaces have the following
structure. Everyone is either of type I, namely, contains an isomorph of
$\mathfrak{X}_0$ itself or else is isomorphic to a subspace of $c_0$ (type
II). Furthermore for any analytic decomposition of $\mathfrak{X}_0$ into
two subspaces one is of type I and the other is of type II. The operators
of $\mathfrak{X}_0$ share common features with those of HI spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "Uniform Eberlein compactifications
of metrizable spaces" by Taras Banakh and Arkady Leiderman.
Abstract: We prove that each metrizable space (of cardinality less
or equal to continuum) has a (first countable) uniform Eberlein
compactification and each scattered metrizable space has a scattered
hereditarily paracompact compactification. Each compact scattered
hereditarily paracompact space is uniform Eberlein and belongs to
the smallest class of compact spaces, that contain the empty set, the
singleton, and is closed under producing the Aleksandrov compactification
of the topological sum of a family of compacta from that class.

This is an announcement for the paper "Interpolating thin-shell and
sharp large-deviation estimates For isotropic log-concave measures"
by Olivier Guedon and Emanuel Milman.
Abstract: Given an isotropic random vector $X$ with log-concave density
in Euclidean space $\Real^n$, we study the concentration properties
of $|X|$ on all scales, both above and below its expectation. We
show in particular that: \[ \P(\abs{|X| -\sqrt{n}} \geq t \sqrt{n})
\leq C \exp(-c n^{\frac{1}{2}} \min(t^3,t)) \;\;\; \forall t \geq 0 ~,
\] for some universal constants $c,C>0$. This improves the best known
deviation results on the thin-shell and mesoscopic scales due to Fleury
and Klartag, respectively, and recovers the sharp large-deviation estimate
of Paouris. Another new feature of our estimate is that it improves
when $X$ is $\psi_\alpha$ ($\alpha \in (1,2]$), in precise agreement
with both estimates of Paouris. The upper bound on the thin-shell width
$\sqrt{\Var(|X|)}$ we obtain is of the order of $n^{1/3}$, and improves
down to $n^{1/4}$ when $X$ is $\psi_2$. Our estimates thus continuously
interpolate between a new best known thin-shell estimate and the sharp
large-deviation estimate of Paouris.

Remarks: 27 pages - also resolved the negative moment and deviation
estimates, interpolating now between the thin-shell and the Paouris
small-ball estimate
