This is an announcement for the paper "Dominated bilinear forms and
2-homogeneous polynomials" by G. Botelho, D. Pellegrino and P. Rueda.
Abstract: The main goal of this note is to establish a connection between
the cotype of the Banach space X and the parameters r for which every
2-homogeneous polynomial on X is r-dominated.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the maximization of a class
of functionals on convex regions, and the characterization of the
farthest convex set" by Evans Harrell and Antoine Henrot.
Abstract: We consider a family of functionals $J$ to be maximized over
the planar convex sets $K$ for which the perimeter and Steiner point have
been fixed. Assuming that $J$ is the integral of a quadratic expression
in the support function $h$, we show that the maximizer is always either
a triangle or a line segment (which can be considered as a collapsed
triangle). Among the concrete consequences of the main theorem is the
fact that, given any convex body $K_1$ of finite perimeter, the set in
the class we consider that is farthest away in the sense of the $L^2$
distance is always a line segment. We also prove the same property for
the Hausdorff distance.

This is an announcement for the paper "Constructions of sequential spaces"
by Jarno Talponen.
Abstract: We introduce and study certain type of variable exponent \ell^p
spaces. These spaces will typically not be rearrangement-invariant but
instead they enjoy a good local control of some geometric properties. We
obtain some interesting examples of Banach spaces with a 1-unconditional
basis.

This is an announcement for the paper "The infinite dimensional restricted
invertibility theorem" by Peter G. Casazza and Goetz E. Pfander.
Abstract: The 1987 Bourgain-Tzafriri Restricted Invertibility Theorem
is one of the most celebrated theorems in analysis. At the time of
their work, the authors raised the question of a possible infinite
dimensional version of the theorem. In this paper, we will give a quite
general definition of restricted invertibility for operators on infinite
dimensional Hilbert spaces based on the notion of "density" from frame
theory. We then prove that localized Bessel systems have large subsets
which are Riesz basic sequences. As a consequence, we prove the strongest
possible form of the infinite dimensional restricted invertibility
theorem for $\ell_1$-localized operators and for Gabor frames with
generating function in the Feichtinger Algebra. For our calculations,
we introduce a new notion of "density" which has serious advantages over
the standard form because it is independent of index maps - and hence
has much broader application. We then show that in the setting of the
restricted invertibility theorem, this new density becomes equivalent
to the standard density.

This is an announcement for the paper "$L_p$ compression, traveling
salesmen, and stable walks" by Assaf Naor and Yuval Peres.
Abstract: We show that if $H$ is a group of polynomial growth whose
growth rate is at least quadratic then the $L_p$ compression of the wreath
product $\Z\bwr H$ equals $\max{\frac{1}{p},{1/2}}$. We also show that the
$L_p$ compression of $\Z\bwr \Z$ equals $\max{\frac{p}{2p-1},\frac23}$
and the $L_p$ compression of $(\Z\bwr\Z)_0$ (the zero section of
$\Z\bwr \Z$, equipped with the metric induced from $\Z\bwr \Z$) equals
$\max{\frac{p+1}{2p},\frac34}$. The fact that the Hilbert compression
exponent of $\Z\bwr\Z$ equals $\frac23$ while the Hilbert compression
exponent of $(\Z\bwr\Z)_0$ equals $\frac34$ is used to show that there
exists a Lipschitz function $f:(\Z\bwr\Z)_0\to L_2$ which cannot be
extended to a Lipschitz function defined on all of $\Z\bwr \Z$.
