This is an announcement for the paper "Operators whose dual has
non-separable range" by Pandelis Dodos.
Abstract: Let $X$ and $Y$ be separable Banach spaces and $T:X\to Y$
be a bounded linear operator. We characterize the non-separability of
$T^*(Y^*)$ by means of fixing properties of the operator $T$.

This is an announcement for the paper "On strictly singular operators
between separable Banach spaces" by Kevin Beanland and Pandelis Dodos.
Abstract: Let $X$ and $Y$ be separable Banach spaces and denote
by $\sss\sss(X,Y)$ the subset of $\llll(X,Y)$ consisting of all
strictly singular operators. We study various ordinal ranks on the set
$\sss\sss(X,Y)$. Our main results are summarized as follows. Firstly,
we define a new rank $\rs$ on $\sss\sss(X,Y)$. We show that $\rs$ is
a co-analytic rank and that dominates the rank $\varrho$ introduced by
Androulakis, Dodos, Sirotkin and Troitsky [Israel J. Math., 169 (2009),
221-250]. Secondly, for every $1\leq p<+\infty$ we construct a Banach
space $Y_p$ with an unconditional basis such that $\sss\sss(\ell_p,
Y_p)$ is a co-analytic non-Borel subset of $\llll(\ell_p,Y_p)$ yet every
strictly singular operator $T:\ell_p\to Y_p$ satisfies $\varrho(T)\leq
2$. This answers a question of Argyros.

This is an announcement for the paper "Quotients of Banach spaces and
surjectively universal spaces" by Pandelis Dodos.
Abstract: We characterize those classes $\mathcal{C}$ of separable
Banach spaces for which there exists a separable Banach space $Y$ not
containing $\ell_1$ and such that every space in the class $\mathcal{C}$
is a quotient of $Y$.

This is an announcement for the paper "The rate of convergence in the
method of alternating projections" by Catalin Badea, Sophie Grivaux and
Vladimir Muller.
Abstract: A generalization of the cosine of the Friedrichs angle between
two subspaces to a parameter associated to several closed subspaces of
a Hilbert space is given. This parameter is used to analyze the rate of
convergence in the von Neumann-Halperin method of cyclic alternating
projections. General dichotomy theorems are proved, in the Hilbert or
Banach space situation, providing conditions under which the alternative
QUC/ASC (quick uniform convergence versus arbitrarily slow convergence)
holds. Several meanings for ASC are proposed.

This is an announcement for the paper "Geometric, spectral and asymptotic
properties of averaged products of projections in Banach spaces"
by Catalin Badea and Yuri I. Lyubich.
Abstract: According to the von Neumann-Halperin and Lapidus theorems,
in a Hilbert space the iterates of products or, respectively, of convex
combinations of orthoprojections are strongly convergent. We extend
these results to the iterates of convex combinations of products of some
projections in a complex Banach space. The latter is assumed uniformly
convex or uniformly smooth for the orthoprojections, or reflexive for
more special projections, in particular, for the hermitian ones. In all
cases the proof of convergence is based on a known criterion in terms
of the boundary spectrum.

This is an announcement for the paper "The geometry of p-convex
intersection bodies" by Jaegil Kim, Vladyslav Yaskin and Artem Zvavitch.
Abstract: Busemann's theorem states that the intersection body of an
origin-symmetric convex body is also convex. In this paper we provide
a version of Busemann's theorem for p-convex bodies. We show that
the intersection body of a p-convex body is q-convex for certain
q. Furthermore, we discuss the sharpness of the previous result by
constructing an appropriate example. This example is also used to show
that IK, the intersection body of K, can be much farther away from the
Euclidean ball than K. Finally, we extend these theorems to some general
measure spaces with log-concave and $s$-concave measures

This is an announcement for the paper "Sets of unit vectors with small
pairwise sums" by Konrad J. Swanepoel.
Abstract: We study the sizes of delta-additive sets of unit vectors
in a d-dimensional normed space: the sum of any two vectors has norm
at most delta. One-additive sets originate in finding upper bounds of
vertex degrees of Steiner Minimum Trees in finite dimensional smooth
normed spaces (Z. F\"uredi, J. C. Lagarias, F. Morgan, 1991). We show
that the maximum size of a delta-additive set over all normed spaces
of dimension d grows exponentially in d for fixed delta>2/3, stays
bounded for delta<2/3, and grows linearly at the threshold delta=2/3.
Furthermore, the maximum size of a 2/3-additive set in d-dimensional
normed space has the sharp upper bound of d, with the single exception
of spaces isometric to three-dimensional l^1 space, where there exists
a 2/3-additive set of four unit vectors.
