This is an announcement for the paper "Subspaces of almost Daugavet
spaces" by Simon Luecking.
Abstract: We study the almost Daugavet property, a generalization of
the Daugavet property. It is analysed what kind of subspaces and sums
of Banach spaces with the almost Daugavet property have this property
as well. The main result of the paper is: if $Z$ is a closed subspace
of a separable almost Daugavet space $X$ such that the quotient space
$X/Z$ contains no copy of $\ell_1$, then $Z$ has the almost Daugavet
property, too.

This is an announcement for the paper "Minimal projections with respect
to various norms" by Asuman Guven Aksoy and Grzegorz Lewicki.
Abstract: We will show that a theorem of Rudin \cite{wr1}, \cite{wr},
permits us to determine minimal projections not only with respect to
the operator norm but with respect to quasi-norms in operators ideals
and numerical radius in many concrete cases.

This is an announcement for the paper "Best approximation in numerical
radius" by Asuman Guven Aksoy and Grzegorz Lewicki.
Abstract: Let $X$ be a reflexive Banach space. In this paper we give a
necessary and sufficient condition for an operator $T\in \mathcal{K}(X)$
to have the best approximation in numerical radius from the convex
subset $\mathcal{U} \subset \mathcal{K}(X),$ where $\mathcal{K}(X)$
denotes the set of all linear, compact operators from $X$ into $X.$ We
will also present an application to minimal extensions with respect to
the numerical radius. In particular some results on best approximation
in norm will be generalized to the case of the numerical radius.

This is an announcement for the paper "Weakly convex sets and modulus
of nonconvexity" by Maxim V. Balashov and Dusan Repovs.
Abstract: We consider a definition of a weakly convex set which is a
generalization of the notion of a weakly convex set in the sense of Vial
and a proximally smooth set in the sense of Clarke, from the case of the
Hilbert space to a class of Banach spaces with the modulus of convexity
of the second order. Using the new definition of the weakly convex set
with the given modulus of nonconvexity we prove a new retraction theorem
and we obtain new results about continuity of the intersection of two
continuous set-valued mappings (one of which has nonconvex images) and new
affirmative solutions of the splitting problem for selections. We also
investigate relationship between the new definition and the definition
of a proximally smooth set and a smooth set.

This is an announcement for the paper "Compactness properties of weighted
summation operators on trees" by Mikhail Lifshits and Werner Linde.
Abstract: We investigate compactness properties of weighted summation
operators $V_{\alpha,\sigma}$ as mapping from $\ell_1(T)$ into
$\ell_q(T)$ for some $q\in (1,\infty)$. Those operators are defined
by $$ (V_{\alpha,\sigma} x)(t) :=\alpha(t)\sum_{s\succeq t}\sigma(s)
x(s)\,,\quad t\in T\;, $$ where $T$ is a tree with induced partial
order $t \preceq s$ (or $s \succeq t$) for $t,s\in T$. Here $\alpha$
and $\sigma$ are given weights on $T$. We introduce a metric $d$
on $T$ such that compactness properties of $(T,d)$ imply two--sided
estimates for $e_n(V_{\alpha,\sigma})$, the (dyadic) entropy numbers
of $V_{\alpha,\sigma}$. The results are applied for concrete trees as
e.g.~moderate increasing, biased or binary trees and for weights with
$\alpha(t)\sigma(t)$ decreasing either polynomially or exponentially. We
also give some probabilistic applications for Gaussian summation schemes
on trees.

This is an announcement for the paper "Topological classification of
closed convex sets in Frechet spaces" by Taras Banakh and Robert Cauty.
Abstract: We prove that each non-separable completely metrizable convex
subset of a Frechet space is homeomorphic to a Hilbert space. This
resolves an old (more than 30 years) problem of infinite-dimensional
topology. Combined with the topological classification of separable convex
sets due to Klee, Dobrowoslki and Torunczyk, this result implies that each
closed convex subset of a Frechet space is homemorphic to $[0,1]^n\times
[0,1)^m\times l_2(k)$ for some cardinals $0\le n\le\omega$, $0\le m\le 1$
and $k\ge 0$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Constructing non-compact operators
into $c_0$" by Iryna Banakh and Taras Banakh.
Abstract: We prove that for each dense non-compact linear operator
$S:X\to Y$ between Banach spaces there is a linear operator $T:Y\to c_0$
such that the operator $TS:X\to c_0$ is not compact. This generalizes
the Josefson-Nissenzweig Theorem.

This is an announcement for the paper "Noncompactness and noncompleteness
in isometries of Lipschitz spaces" by Jesus Araujo and Luis Dubarbie.
Abstract: We solve the following two questions concerning
surjective linear isometries between spaces of Lipschitz functions
$\mathrm{Lip}(X,E)$ and $\mathrm{Lip}(Y,F)$, for strictly convex normed
spaces $E$ and $F$ and metric spaces $X$ and $Y$:
\begin{enumerate} \item Characterize those base spaces $X$ and $Y$
for which all isometries are
weighted composition maps.
\item Give a condition independent of base spaces under which all
isometries
are weighted composition maps.
\end{enumerate} In particular, we prove that requirements of
completeness on $X$ and $Y$ are
not necessary when $E$ and $F$ are not complete, which is in sharp
contrast with results known in the scalar context. We also give the
special form of this kind of isometries.

This is an announcement for the paper "Fractional generalizations of
Young and Brunn-Minkowski inequalities" by Sergey Bobkov, Mokshay Madiman,
and Liyao Wang.
Abstract: A generalization of Young's inequality for convolution
with sharp constant is conjectured for scenarios where more than two
functions are being convolved, and it is proven for certain parameter
ranges. The conjecture would provide a unified proof of recent entropy
power inequalities of Barron and Madiman, as well as of a (conjectured)
generalization of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality. It is shown that
the generalized Brunn-Minkowski conjecture is true for convex sets;
an application of this to the law of large numbers for random sets
is described.
