This is an announcement for the paper "On some random thin sets of
integers" by Daniel Li, Herve Queffelec, Luis Rodriguez-Piazza.
Abstract: We show how different random thin sets of integers may have
different behaviour. First, using a recent deviation inequality of
Boucheron, Lugosi and Massart, we give a simpler proof of one of our
results in {\sl Some new thin sets of integers in Harmonic Analysis,
Journal d'Analyse Math\'ematique 86 (2002), 105--138}, namely that there
exist $\frac{4}{3}$-Rider sets which are sets of uniform convergence and
$\Lambda (q)$-sets for all $q < \infty $, but which are not Rosenthal
sets. In a second part, we show, using an older result of Kashin and
Tzafriri that, for $p > \frac{4}{3}$, the $p$-Rider sets which we had
constructed in that paper are almost surely ot of uniform convergence.

This is an announcement for the paper "Comparison of matrix norms on
bipartite spaces" by Christopher King and Nilufer Koldan.
Abstract: Two non-commutative versions of the classical L^q(L^p) norm
on the algebra of (mn)x(mn) matrices are compared. The first norm was
defined recently by Carlen and Lieb, as a byproduct of their analysis of
certain convex functions on matrix spaces. The second norm was defined by
Pisier and others using results from the theory of operator spaces. It
is shown that the second norm is upper bounded by a constant multiple
of the first for all 1 <= p <= 2, q >= 1. In one case (2 = p < q) it is
also shown that there is no such lower bound, and hence that the norms
are inequivalent. It is conjectured that the norms are inequivalent in
all cases.

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Lancaster University,
UK, will host two meetings with a common theme of Banach spaces on 25-26
May 2009.
The first, starting after lunch on Monday 25th May, is a meeting of the
North British Functional Analysis Seminar (NBFAS); the NBFAS speaker is
Stephen J. Dilworth (South Carolina, USA).
The second meeting, on Tuesday 26th May, is in honour of GrahamJameson
on the occasion of his retirement, celebrating his many significant
contributions to the department and the wider mathematical community
during his 35-year career in Lancaster. There will be six invited
one-hour talks given by the following speakers:
- Timothy Feeman (Villanova, USA),
- Richard Haydon (Oxford, UK),
- Rafal Latala (Warsaw, Poland),
- Edward W. Odell, (Texas, USA),
- Charles J. Read (Leeds, UK), and
- Thomas Schlumprecht (Texas A&M, USA).
This meeting is supported by a London Mathematical Society Scheme 1
conference grant. There is support available for UK graduate students;
the deadline for applications for such support is 1st May.
Full details of both meetings (including registration, schedule, travel
and accommodation) can be found at http://www.maths.lancs.ac.uk/jameson
For more information, please contact the organizer Niels J. Laustsen
(email: n.laustsen(a)lancaster.ac.uk).
This is an announcement for the paper "The universality of $\ell_1$
as a dual space" by Daniel Freeman, Edward Odell, and Thomas Schlumprecht.
Abstract: Let $X$ be a Banach space with a separable dual. We prove
that $X$ embeds isomorphically into a $\L_\infty$ space $Z$ whose dual
is isomorphic to $\ell_1$. If $X$ has a shrinking finite dimensional
decomposition and $X^*$ does not contain an isomorph of $\ell_1$,
then we construct such a $Z$, as above, not containing an isomorph of
$c_0$.If $X$ is separable and reflexive, we show that $Z$ can be made
to be somewhat reflexive.

This is an announcement for the paper "Eigenfunctions for hyperbolic
rcmposition roerators---redux" by Joel H. Shapiro.
Abstract: The Invariant Subspace Problem (``ISP'') for Hilbert space
operators is known to be equivalent to a question that, on its surface,
seems surprisingly concrete: For composition operators induced on the
Hardy space H^2 by hyperbolic automorphisms of the unit disc, is every
nontrivial minimal invariant subspace one dimensional (i.e., spanned by
an eigenvector)? In the hope of reviving interest in the contribution
this remarkable result might offer to the studies of both composition
operators and the ISP, I revisit some known results, weaken their
hypotheses and simplify their proofs. Sample results: If f is a hyperbolic
disc automorphism with fixed points at a and b (both necessarily on the
unit circle), and C_f the composition operator it induces on H^2, then
for every function g in the subspace [{(z-a)(z-a)]^(1/2)H^2, the doubly
C_f-cyclic subspace generated by g contains many independent eigenvectors;
more precisely, the point spectrum of C_f's restriction to that subspace
intersects the unit circle in a set of positive measure. Moreover,
this restriction of C_f is hypercyclic (some forward orbit is dense).

Abstract: We construct a hereditarily indecomposable Banach space with

This is an announcement for the paper "Linear operators with compact
supports, probability measures and Milyutin maps" by Vesko Valov.
Abstract: The notion of a regular operator with compact supports between
function spaces is introduced. On that base we obtain a characterization
of absolute extensors for zero-dimensional spaces in terms of regular
extension operators having compact supports. Milyutin maps are also
considered and it is established that some topological properties, like
paracompactness, metrizability and k-metrizability, are preserved under
Milyutin maps.
