This is an announcement for the paper "Comparison of volumes of convex
bodies in real, complex, and quaternionic spaces" by Boris Rubin.
Abstract: The classical Busemann-Petty problem (1956) asks, whether
origin-symmetric convex bodies in $\mathbb {R}^n$ with smaller hyperplane
central sections necessarily have smaller volumes. It is known, that
the answer is affirmative if $n\le 4$ and negative if $n>4$. The same
question can be asked when volumes of hyperplane sections are replaced
by more general comparison functions. We give unified exposition of this
circle of problems in real, complex, and quaternionic $n$-dimensional
spaces. All cases are treated simultaneously. In particular, we show
that the Busemann-Petty problem in the quaternionic $n$-dimensional
space has an affirmative answer if and only if $n =2$. The method relies
on the properties of cosine transforms on the unit sphere. Possible
generalizations for spaces over Clifford algebras are discussed.

This is an announcement for the paper "Preduals of semigroup algebras"
by Matthew Daws, Hung Le Pham, and Stuart White.
Abstract: For a locally compact group $G$, the measure convolution algebra
$M(G)$ carries a natural coproduct. In previous work, we showed that the
canonical predual $C_0(G)$ of $M(G)$ is the unique predual which makes
both the product and the coproduct on $M(G)$ weak$^*$-continuous. Given
a discrete semigroup $S$, the convolution algebra $\ell^1(S)$ also
carries a coproduct. In this paper we examine preduals for $\ell^1(S)$
making both the product and the coproduct weak$^*$-continuous. Under
certain conditions on $S$, we show that $\ell^1(S)$ has a unique
such predual. Such $S$ include the free semigroup on finitely many
generators. In general, however, this need not be the case even for quite
simple semigroups and we construct uncountably many such preduals on
$\ell^1(S)$ when $S$ is either $\mathbb Z_+\times\mathbb Z$ or $(\mathbb
N,\cdot)$.

This is an announcement for the paper "A unified Pietsch domination
theorem" by Geraldo Botelho, Daniel Pellegrino and Pilar Rueda.
Abstract: In this paper we prove an abstract version of Pietsch's
domination theorem which unify a number of known Pietsch-type domination
theorems for classes of mappings that generalize the ideal of absolutely
p-summing linear operators. A final result shows that Pietsch-type
dominations are totally free from algebraic conditions, such as linearity,
multilinearity, etc.

This is an announcement for the paper "The Banach space-valued BMO,
Carleson's condition, and paraproducts" by Tuomas Hytonen and Lutz Weis.
Abstract: We define a scale of L^q Carleson norms, all of which
characterize the membership of a function in BMO. The phenomenon is
analogous to the John-Nirenberg inequality, but on the level of Carleson
measures. The classical Carleson condition corresponds to the L^2 case
in our theory.
The result is applied to give a new proof for the L^p-boundedness of
paraproducts with a BMO symbol. A novel feature of the argument is that
all p are covered at once in a completely interpolation-free manner. This
is achieved by using the L^1 Carleson norm, and indicates the usefulness
of this notion. Our approach is chosen so that all these results extend
in a natural way to the case of X-valued functions, where X is a Banach
space with the UMD property.

This is an announcement for the paper "Decompositions, approximate
structure, transference, and the Hahn-Banach theorem" by W. T. Gowers.
Abstract: This paper is partly a survey of certain kinds of results and
proofs in additive combinatorics, and partly a discussion of how useful
the finite-dimensional Hahn-Banach theorem can be. The most interesting
single result is probably a simpler proof of a key step in the proof
of the Green-Tao theorem, but several other applications of the method
are given. A similarly simplified proof of the Green-Tao transference
principle was obtained independently (and expressed in a rather different
language) by Reingold, Trevisan, Tulsiani and Vadhan.

This is an announcement for the paper "Sufficient enlargements of minimal
volume for finite dimensional normed linear spaces" by M.I. Ostrovskii.
Abstract: Let $B_Y$ denote the unit ball of a normed linear space $Y$. A
symmetric, bounded, closed, convex set $A$ in a finite dimensional normed
linear space $X$ is called a {\it sufficient enlargement} for $X$ if, for
an arbitrary isometric embedding of $X$ into a Banach space $Y$, there
exists a linear projection $P:Y\to X$ such that $P(B_Y)\subset A$. The
main results of the paper: {\bf (1)} Each minimal-volume sufficient
enlargement is linearly equivalent to a zonotope spanned by multiples of
columns of a totally unimodular matrix. {\bf (2)} If a finite dimensional
normed linear space has a minimal-volume sufficient enlargement which
is not a parallelepiped, then it contains a two-dimensional subspace
whose unit ball is linearly equivalent to a regular hexagon.

This is an announcement for the paper "Spaces of operator-valued
functions measurable with respect to the strong operator topology"
by Oscar Blasco and Jan van Neerven.
Abstract: Let $X$ and $Y$ be Banach spaces and $(\Omega,\Sigma,\mu)$
a finite measure space. In this note we introduce the space
$L^p[\mu;L(X,Y)]$ consisting of all (equivalence classes of)
functions $\Phi:\Omega \mapsto L(X,Y)$ such that $\omega \mapsto
\Phi(\omega)x$ is strongly $\mu$-measurable for all $x\in X$ and $\omega
\mapsto \Phi(\omega)f(\omega)$ belongs to $L^1(\mu;Y)$ for all $f\in
L^{p'}(\mu;X)$, $1/p+1/p'=1$. We show that functions in $L^p[\mu;\L(X,Y)]$
define operator-valued measures with bounded $p$-variation and use
these spaces to obtain an isometric characterization of the space of
all $L(X,Y)$-valued multipliers acting boundedly from $L^p(\mu;X)$
into $L^q(\mu;Y)$, $1\le q< p<\infty$.

This is an announcement for the paper "A note on the Busemann-Petty
problem for bodies of certain invariance" by Marisa Zymonopoulou.
Abstract: The Busemann-Petty problem asks whether origin symmetric
convex bodies in $\R^n$ with smaller hyperplane sections necessarily
have smaller volume. The answer is affirmative if $n\leq 3$ and negative
if $n\geq 4.$ We consider a class of convex bodies that have a certain
invariance property with respect to their ordered k-tuples of coordinates
in $\R^{kn}$ and prove the corresponding problem.
