This is an announcement for the paper "Tensor extension properties of C(K)-representations and applications to unconditionality" by Christoph Kriegler and Christian Le Merdy. Abstract: Let K be any compact set. The C^*-algebra C(K) is nuclear and any bounded homomorphism from C(K) into B(H), the algebra of all bounded operators on some Hilbert space H, is automatically completely bounded. We prove extensions of these results to the Banach space setting, using the key concept of R-boundedness. Then we apply these results to operators with a uniformly bounded H^\infty-calculus, as well as to unconditionality on L^p. We show that any unconditional basis on L^p `is' an unconditional basis on L^2 after an appropriate change of density.

This is an announcement for the paper "Almost invariant half-spaces of operators on Banach spaces" by George Androulakis, Alexey I. Popov, Adi Tcaciuc and Vladimir G. Troitsky. Abstract: We introduce and study the following modified version of the Invariant Subspace Problem: whether every operator T on a Banach space has an almost invariant half-space, that is, a subspace Y of infinite dimension and infinite codimension such that Y is of finite codimension in T(Y). We solve this problem in the affirmative for a large class of operators which includes quasinilpotent weighted shift operators on l_p (1 \le p < \infty) or c_0.

This is an announcement for the paper "Weak$^*$ dentability index of spaces $C([0,\alpha])$" by Petr Hajek, Gilles Lancien and Antonin Prochazka. Abstract: We compute the weak$^*$-dentability index of the spaces $C(K)$ where $K$ is a countable compact space. Namely $\mbox{Dz}(C([0,\omega^{\omega^\alpha}])) = \omega^{1+\alpha+1}$, whenever $0\le\alpha<\omega_1$. More generally, $\mbox{Dz}(C(K))=\omega^{1+\alpha+1}$ if $K$ is a scattered compact whose height $\eta(K)$ satisfies $\omega^\alpha<\eta(K)\leq \omega^{\alpha+1}$ with an $\alpha$ countable.

This is an announcement for the paper "Quasiminimality in mixed Tsirelson spaces" by Antonis Manoussakis and Anna Maria Pelczar. Abstract: We prove that mixed Tsirelson spaces T[(M_n,\theta_n)_n], where M_n=A_n for all n or M_n=S_n for all n, are quasiminimal. We prove that under certain assumptions on the sequence (\theta_n)_n the dual spaces are also quasiminimal.

This is an announcement for the paper "A note on fragmentability and weak-G_delta sets" by V. P. Fonf, R. J. Smith and S. Troyanski.

In particular, none of these spaces is isomorphic to a separable polyhedral space.

This is an announcement for the paper "Inequalities for mixed $p$-affine surface area" by Elisabeth Werner and Deping Ye. Abstract: We prove new Alexandrov-Fenchel type inequalities and new affine isoperimetric inequalities for mixed $p$-affine surface areas. We introduce a new class of bodies, the illumination surface bodies, and establish some of their properties. We show, for instance, that they are not necessarily convex. We give geometric interpretations of $L_p$ affine surface areas, mixed $p$-affine surface areas and other functionals via these bodies. The surprising new element is that not necessarily convex bodies provide the tool for these interpretations.

We also provide a new simpler proof that a weak*-closed unital operator operator algebra containing a weak* dense subalgebra of compact operators has a unique Banach space predual.

This is an announcement for the paper "Spectral norm of products of random and deterministic matrices" by Roman Vershynin. Abstract: We study the spectral norm of matrices M that can be factored as M=BA, where A is a random matrix with independent mean zero entries, and B is a fixed matrix. Under the (4+epsilon)-th moment assumption on the entries of A, we show that the spectral norm of such an m by n matrix M is bounded by \sqrt{m} + \sqrt{n}, which is sharp. In other words, in regard to the spectral norm, products of random and deterministic matrices behave similarly to random matrices with independent entries. This result along with the previous work of M. Rudelson and the author implies that the smallest singular value of a random m times n matrix with i.i.d. mean zero entries and bounded (4+epsilon)-th moment is bounded below by \sqrt{m} - \sqrt{n-1} with high probability.

This is an announcement for the paper "On a new type concept for Banach spaces" by Robin Nittka. Abstract: In order to measure qualitative properties we introduce a new notion of a type for arbitrary normed spaces which measures the worst possible growth of partial sums of sequences weakly converging to zero. As an application we give a new proof that certain classical Banach spaces are non-isomorphic.

This is an announcement for the paper "Factorization theorems for dominated polynomials" by Geraldo Botelho, Daniel Pellegrino and Pilar Rueda. Abstract: In this note we prove that the factorization theorem for dominated polynomials previously proved by the authors is equivalent to an alternative factorization scheme that uses classical linear techniques and a linearization process. However, this alternative scheme is shown not to be satisfactory until the equivalence is proved.
