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.

Abstract: We prove that mixed Tsirelson spaces T[(M_n,\theta_n)_n], where

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

Abstract: In terms of fragmentability, we describe a new class of
Banach spaces which do not contain weak-G_delta open bounded subsets. 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.

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.
