This is an announcement for the paper "A complete locally convex space of
countable dimension admitting an operator with no invariant subspaces"

Abstract: We construct a complete locally convex topological vector space
$X$ of countable algebraic dimension and a continuous linear operator
$T:X\to X$ such that $T$ has no non-trivial closed invariant subspaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "L- and M-structure in lush spaces"
by Elias Pipping.
Abstract: Let $X$ be a Banach space which is lush. It is shown that if a
subspace of $X$ is either an L-summand or an M-ideal then it is also lush.

This is an announcement for the paper "The numerical measure of a complex
matrix" by Thierry Gallay and Denis Serre.
Abstract: We introduce and carefully study a natural probability measure
over the numerical range of a complex matrix $A \in M_n(\C)$. This
numerical measure $\mu_A$ can be defined as the law of the random
variable $<AX,X> \in \C$ when the vector $X \in \C^n$ is uniformly
distributed on the unit sphere. If the matrix $A$ is normal, we show
that $\mu_A$ has a piecewise polynomial density $f_A$, which can be
identified with a multivariate $B$-spline. In the general (nonnormal)
case, we relate the Radon transform of $\mu_A$ to the spectrum of a
family of Hermitian matrices, and we deduce an explicit representation
formula for the numerical density which is appropriate for theoretical
and computational purposes. As an application, we show that the density
$f_A$ is polynomial in some regions of the complex plane which can be
characterized geometrically, and we recover some known results about
lacunas of symmetric hyperbolic systems in $2+1$ dimensions. Finally,
we prove under general assumptions that the numerical measure of a
matrix $A \in M_n(\C)$ concentrates to a Dirac mass as the size $n$
goes to infinity.

This is an announcement for the paper "Average best $m$-term
approximation" by Jan Vybiral.
Abstract: We introduce the concept of average best $m$-term
approximation widths with respect to a probability measure on the unit
ball of $\ell_p^n$. We estimate these quantities for the embedding
$id:\ell_p^n\to\ell_q^n$ with $0<p\le q\le \infty$ for the normalized
cone and surface measure. Furthermore, we consider certain tensor product
weights and show that a typical vector with respect to such a measure
exhibits a strong compressible (i.e. nearly sparse) structure.

This is an announcement for the paper "Every Banach ideal of polynomials
is compatible with an operator ideal" by Daniel Carando, Veronica Dimant,
and Santiago Muro.
Abstract: We show that for each Banach ideal of homogeneous polynomials,
there exists a (necessarily unique) Banach operator ideal compatible with
it. Analogously, we prove that any ideal of $n$-homogeneous polynomials
belongs to a coherent sequence of ideals of $k$-homogeneous polynomials.

Abstract: Using a recent result of Batson, Spielman and Srivastava,
We obtain a tight estimate on the dimension of $\ell_p^n$, $p$ an even
integer, needed to almost isometrically contain all $k$-dimensional
subspaces of $L_p$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Dvoretzky type theorems for
multivariate polynomials and sections of convex bodies" by V.L. Dolnikov
and R.N. Karasev.
Abstract: In this paper we prove the Gromov--Milman conjecture (the
Dvoretzky type theorem) for homogeneous polynomials on $\mathbb R^n$,
and improve bounds on the number $n(d,k)$ in the analogous conjecture
for odd degrees $d$ (this case is known as the Birch theorem) and
complex polynomials.
We also consider a stronger conjecture on the homogeneous polynomial fields
in the canonical bundle over real and complex Grassmannians. The latter
conjecture is much stronger and false in general, but it is proved in
the cases of $d=2$ (for $k$'s of certain type), odd $d$, the complex
Grassmannian (for odd and even $d$ and any $k$). Corollaries for the
John ellipsoid of projections or sections of a convex body are deduced
from the case $d=2$ of the polynomial field conjecture.

Meeting: Integration, Vector Measures and Related Topics IV''
Dedicated to Joe Diestel.
University of Murcia, Murcia, Spain March 2 - March 5, 2011
Description: The aim of this four day conference is to bring together
experienced and novice researchers interested in Integration, Vector
Measures and their Applications. The conference will feature a series
of plenary and short lectures as well as a mini-course and contributed
posters on recent advances in the subject. The previous meetings of
this series of conferences were held in Valencia in 2004, Sevilla in
2006 and Eichstätt in 2008. Partial support for a small number of
participants is expected to be available. Recent recipients of
doctoral degrees and pre-doc students are encouraged to apply. The
meeting will take place in La Manga del Mar Menor, Murcia, from March
2? March 5, 2011 (both days included). It will be organized by the
Functional Analysis Group of the University of Murcia.

This is an announcement for the paper "A characterization of inner
product spaces" by Mohammad Sal Moslehian and John M. Rassias.
Abstract: In this paper we present a new criterion on
characterization of real inner product spaces. We conclude
that a real normed space $(X, \|\cdot\|)$ is an inner product
space if $$\sum_{\varepsilon_i \in \{-1,1\}} \left\|x_1 +
\sum_{i=2}^k\varepsilon_ix_i\right\|^2=\sum_{\varepsilon_i \in \{-1,1\}}
\left(\|x_1\| + \sum_{i=2}^k\varepsilon_i\|x_i\|\right)^2\,,$$ for some
positive integer $k\geq 2$ and all $x_1, \ldots, x_k \in X$. Conversely,
if $(X, \|\cdot\|)$ is an inner product space, then the equality above
holds for all $k\geq 2$ and all $x_1, \ldots, x_k \in X$.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the von Bahr--Esseen inequality"
by Iosif Pinelis.
Abstract: The well-known von Bahr--Esseen bound on the absolute pth
moments of martingales with p in (1,2] is extended to a large class of
moment functions, and now with a best possible constant factor (which
depends on the moment function). As an application, measure concentration
inequalities for separately Lipschitz functions on product spaces are
obtained. Relations with p-uniformly smooth and q-uniformly convex normed
spaces are discussed.
