This is an announcement for the paper "On the hereditary proximity to
$\ell_1$" by Spiros A. Argyros, A. Manoussakis, and Anna M. Pelczar.
Abstract: In the first part of the paper we present and discuss concepts
of local and asymptotic hereditary proximity to \ell_1. The second part
is devoted to a complete separation of the hereditary local proximity
to \ell_1 from the asymptotic one. More precisely for every countable
ordinal \xi we construct a separable reflexive space \mathfrak{X}_\xi such
that every infinite dimensional subspace of it has Bourgain \ell_1-index
greater than \omega^\xi and the space itself has no \ell_1-spreading
model. We also present a reflexive HI space admitting no \ell_p as a
spreading model.

This is an announcement for the paper "The geometry of Euclidean
convolution inequalities and entropy" by Dario Cordero-Erausquin and
Michel Ledoux.
Abstract: The goal of this note is to show that some convolution
type inequalities from Harmonic Analysis and Information Theory,
such as Young's convolution inequality (with sharp constant), Nelson's
hypercontractivity of the Hermite semi-group or Shannon's inequality,
can be reduced to a simple geometric study of frames of $\R^2$. We shall
derive directly entropic inequalities, which were recently proved to be
dual to the Brascamp-Lieb convolution type inequalities.

This is an announcement for the paper "Banach spaces which embed into
their dual" by V.Capraro and S.Rossi.
Abstract: We provide a nice characterization of the classical
Riesz-Frechet representation theorem: if a Banach space embeds
isometrically into its dual space, under some other natural assumptions,
then it is a Hilbert space and the embedding is actually the canonical
one (which becomes automatically surjective). We also see that requiring
surjectivity a priori, one can considerably weak one of the ''other
hypothesis''. Anyway, it should remains to prove that our assumptions
are minimal. It seems to be a difficult problem in general, because it is
already not easy at all to find non-trivial examples (Hilbert spaces!) of
Banach spaces which embed isometrically into their own dual. We will
discuss in some details only the fatality of the ''isometric hypothesi''
which however brought us to find an example of compact convex Hausdorff
space which does not admit a Borel measure with full support.

This is an announcement for the paper "Complex geodesics on convex
domains" by Sean Dineen and Richard M. Timoney.
Abstract: Existence and uniqueness of complex geodesics joining two points
of a convex bounded domain in a Banach space $X$ are considered. Existence
is proved for the unit ball of $X$ under the assumption that $X$
is 1-complemented in its double dual. Another existence result for
taut domains is also proved. Uniqueness is proved for strictly convex
bounded domains in spaces with the analytic Radon-Nikodym property. If the
unit ball of $X$ has a modulus of complex uniform convexity with power
type decay at 0, then all complex geodesics in the unit ball satisfy a
Lipschitz condition. The results are applied to classical Banach spaces
and to give a formula describing all complex geodesics in the unit ball
of the sequence spaces $\ell^p$ ($1 \leq p < \infty$).

This is an announcement for the paper "Corrigendum to [Approximation
by Lipschitz, C^{p} smooth functions on weakly compactly generated
Banach spaces, J. Funct. Anal. 252 (2007), no. 1, 34--41.]" by R. Fry
and L. Keener.
Abstract: This note is a corrigendum to an earlier paper by the
first named author. The original proof contained a gap which is
here corrected under the formally stronger hypothesis that X admit
a C^{p} smooth norm rather than merely a Lipschitz, C^{p} smooth bump
function. More precisely, it is shown that on weakly compactly generated
Banach spaces X which admit a C^{p} smooth norm, one can uniformly
approximate uniformly continuous functions f:X->R by Lipschitz, C^{p}
smooth functions. Additionally it is shown in this note that there is a
constant C>1 so that any L-Lipschitz function f:X->R can be uniformly
approximated by CL-Lipschitz, C^{p} smooth functions. This provides a
`Lipschitz version' of the classical approximation results of Godefroy,
Troyanski, Whitfield and Zizler.

This is an announcement for the paper "Representation of certain
homogeneous Hilbertian operator spaces and applications" by Marius
Junge and Quanhua Xu.
Abstract: Following Grothendieck's characterization of Hilbert spaces we
consider operator spaces $F$ such that both $F$ and $F^*$ completely embed
into the dual of a C*-algebra. Due to Haagerup/Musat's improved version
of Pisier/Shlyakhtenko's Grothendieck inequality for operator spaces,
these spaces are quotients of subspaces of the direct sum $C\oplus R$
of the column and row spaces (the corresponding class being denoted by
$QS(C\oplus R)$). We first prove a representation theorem for homogeneous
$F\in QS(C\oplus R)$ starting from the fundamental sequences defined by
column and row norms of unit vectors. Under a mild regularity assumption
on these sequences we show that they completely determine the operator
space structure of $F$ and find a canonical representation of this
important class of homogeneous Hilbertian operator spaces in terms of
weighted row and column spaces. This canonical representation allows us to
get an explicit formula for the exactness constant of an $n$-dimensional
subspace $F_n$ of $F$ involving the fundamental sequences. Similarly,
we have formulas for the the projection (=injectivity) constant of
$F_n$. They also permit us to determine the completely 1-summing maps
in Effros and Ruan's sense between two homogeneous spaces $E$ and $F$
in $QS(C\oplus R)$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Complex interpolation of weighted
noncommutative $L_p$-spaces" by Eric Ricard and Quanhua Xu.
Abstract: Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a semifinite von Neumann algebra equipped
with a semifinite normal faithful trace $\tau$. Let $d$ be an injective
positive measurable operator with respect to $(\mathcal{M},\,\tau)$
such that $d^{-1}$ is also measurable. Define
$$L_p(d)=\left\{x\in L_0(\mathcal{M})\;:\; dx+xd\in
L_p(\mathcal{M})\right\}\quad\mbox{and}\quad
\|x\|_{L_p(d)}=\|dx+xd\|_p\,.$$ We show that for $1\le p_0<p_1\le\8$,
$0<\theta<1$ and $\alpha_0\ge0, \alpha_1\ge0$ the interpolation equality
$$(L_{p_0}(d^{\alpha_0}),\;L_{p_1}(d^{\alpha_1}))_\theta
=L_{p}(d^{\alpha})$$ holds with equivalent norms, where
$\frac1p=\frac{1-\theta}{p_0}+\frac{\theta}{p_1}$ and
$\alpha=(1-\theta)\alpha_0+\theta\alpha_1$.

Rafal Latala, Assaf Naor, and Grigoris Paouris (chair) are
organizing a Concentration Week on "Probability in Asymptotic Geometry"
for the week of
July 20-24. This Concentration Week will focus on high dimensional
phenomena
concerning convex bodies, random polytopes, and random matrices.
These topics lie in the intersection of probability, analysis, geometry,
and combinatorics. The goal is to expose the huge variety of techniques
used in the study of these objects
and to explore the connections between them.
Marius Junge, Jesse Peterson, and Gilles Pisier (chair) are organizing a
Concentration Week on "Operator Spaces and Approximation Properties of
Discrete Groups" for the week of August 3-7. Particular emphasis will be
taken to tie together recent results from the theory of von Neumann
algebras with operator space ideas. The intention is to provide a
background for common points of interest from different perspectives
through courses on operator spaces and Dirichlet forms in von Neumann
algebras. The intention of this concentration week is to attract attention
of younger researchers and students to these new openings.
We expect to be able to cover housing for most participants from support
the
National Science Foundation has provided for the Workshop. Preference will
be
given to participants who do not have other sources of support, such as
sponsored
research grants. When you ask Cara to book your room, please tell her if
you are requesting support. Minorities, women, graduate students, and
young
researchers are especially encouraged to apply.
For logistical support, including requests for support, please contact
Cara Barton <cara(a)math.tamu.edu>. For more information on the Workshop
itself, please contact William Johnson <johnson(a)math.tamu.edu>, David
Larson <larson(a)math.tamu.edu>, Gilles Pisier <pisier(a)math.tamu.edu>, or
