This is an announcement for the paper "Khinchin inequality and Banach-Saks
type properties in rearrangement-invariant spaces" by F. Sukochev
and D. Zanin.
Abstract: \begin{abstract} {\it We study the class of all
rearrangement-invariant (=r.i.)
function spaces $E$ on $[0,1]$ such that there exists $0<q<1$ for
which $
\Vert \sum_{_{k=1}}^n\xi_k\Vert _{E}\leq Cn^{q}$, where $\{\xi_k\}_{k\ge
1}\subset E$ is an arbitrary sequence of independent identically
distributed symmetric random variables on $[0,1]$ and $C>0$ does not
depend on $n$. We completely characterize all Lorentz spaces having this
property and complement classical results of Rodin and Semenov for Orlicz
spaces $exp(L_p)$, $p\ge 1$. We further apply our results to the study
of Banach-Saks index sets in r.i. spaces. \end{abstract}

This is an announcement for the paper "A bicommutant theorem for dual
Banach algebras" by Matthew Daws.
Abstract: A dual Banach algebra is a Banach algebra which is a dual space,
with the multiplication being separately weak$^*$-continuous. We show that
given a unital dual Banach algebra $\mc A$, we can find a reflexive Banach
space $E$, and an isometric, weak$^*$-weak$^*$-continuous homomorphism
$\pi:\mc A\to\mc B(E)$ such that $\pi(\mc A)$ equals its own bicommutant.

Workshop in Analysis and Probability
Department of Mathematics
Texas A&M University
2010
Rostislav Grigorchuk (chair) and Oleg Musin are organizing a one day
Workshop on "Asymptotic and Extreme
Properties of Metric Spaces and Groups" for Monday, April 12. This meeting
is directed to asymptotic and extreme properties of metric spaces,
manifolds, groups, and groupoids. The home page for this Workshop is at
http://www.math.tamu.edu/~grigorch/conf/2010workshop.html
The Summer 2010 Workshop in Analysis and Probability at Texas A&M
University will be in session from July 6 until August 1. For information
about the Workshop, consult the Workshop Home Page, whose new URL is
http://www.math.tamu.edu/conferences/linanalysis/
The Informal Regional Functional Analysis Seminar (SUMIRFAS) will be held
July 30 - August 1.
Michael Anshelevich (chair), Jinho Baik, and Roland Speicher are
organizing
a Concentration Week on "Orthogonal Polynomials in Probability Theory" for
the week of July 6-10. The theme of this Concentration Week is orthogonal
polynomial techniques in probability theory, especially in the study of
random matrices, free probability, and multiple stochastic integrals. Baik
and Speicher will give mini-courses designed to introduce non specialists
to these topics. The home page for this Concentration Week is at

Ilijas Farah and David Kerr (chair) are organizing a Concentration Week
on "Set Theory and Functional Analysis" for the week of July 26-30. The
broad theme will be recent applications of set theory in functional
analysis, with emphasis on combinatorial phenomena and classifiability
problems in operator algebras, dynamics, and Banach space theory. The
program will include lecture series by Christian Rosendal, David Sherman,
and Todor Tsankov. The home page for this Concentration Week is at
http://www.math.tamu.edu/~kerr/concweek10/index.html
The Workshop is supported in part by grants from the National Science
Foundation (NSF). Minorities, women, graduate students, and young
researchers are especially encouraged to attend.

This is an announcement for the paper "Maps of several variables of finite
total variation and Helly-type selection principles" by Vyacheslav
V. Chistyakov and Yuliya V. Tretyachenko.
Abstract: Given a map from a rectangle in the n-dimensional real Euclidean
space into a metric semigroup, we introduce a concept of the total
variation, which generalizes a similar concept due to T. H. Hildebrandt
(1963) for real functions of two variables and A. S. Leonov (1998) for
real functions of n variables, and study its properties. We show that the
total variation has many classical properties of Jordan's variation such
as the additivity, generalized triangle inequality and sequential lower
semicontinuity. We prove two variants of a pointwise selection principle
of Helly-type, one of which is as follows: a pointwise precompact sequence
of metric semigroup valued maps on the rectangle, whose total variations
are uniformly bounded, admits a pointwise convergent subsequence.

This is an announcement for the paper "Local minimality of the
volume-product at the simplex" by Jaegil Kim and Shlomo Reisner.
Abstract: It is proved that the simplex is a strict local minimum for
the volume-product P(K)=min vol(K)vol(K^z), in the Banach-Mazur space of
n-dimensional (classes of ) convex bodies. Here K^z is the polar body
of K about the point z and the minimum is taken over all the points
z in the interior of K. Linear local stability in the neighborhood of
the simplex is proved as well. In the proof, methods that were recently
introduced by Nazarov, Petrov, Ryabogin and Zvavitch are extended to
the non-symmetric setting.
