This is an announcement for the paper "Contractively complemented subspaces of pre-symmetric spaces" by Matthew Neal and Bernard Russo. Abstract: In 1965, Ron Douglas proved that if $X$ is a closed subspace of an $L^1$-space and $X$ is isometric to another $L^1$-space, then $X$ is the range of a contractive projection on the containing $L^1$-space. In 1977 Arazy-Friedman showed that if a subspace $X$ of $C_1$ is isometric to another $C_1$-space (possibly finite dimensional), then there is a contractive projection of $C_1$ onto $X$. In 1993 Kirchberg proved that if a subspace $X$ of the predual of a von Neumann algebra $M$ is isometric to the predual of another von Neumann algebra, then there is a contractive projection of the predual of $M$ onto $X$. We widen significantly the scope of these results by showing that if a subspace $X$ of the predual of a $JBW^*$-triple $A$ is isometric to the predual of another $JBW^*$-triple $B$, then there is a contractive projection on the predual of $A$ with range $X$, as long as $B$ does not have a direct summand which is isometric to a space of the form $L^\infty(\Omega,H)$, where $H$ is a Hilbert space of dimension at least two. The result is false without this restriction on $B$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Complex interpolation between Hilbert, Banach and operator spaces" by Gilles Pisier. Abstract: Motivated by a question of Vincent Lafforgue, we study the Banach spaces $X$ satisfying the following property:\ there is a function $\vp\to \Delta_X(\vp)$ tending to zero with $\vp>0$ such that every operator $T\colon \ L_2\to L_2$ with $\|T\|\le \vp$ that is simultaneously contractive (i.e.\ of norm $\le 1$) on $L_1$ and on $L_\infty$ must be of norm $\le \Delta_X(\vp)$ on $L_2(X)$. We show that $\Delta_X(\vp)\in O(\vp^\alpha)$ for some $\alpha>0$ iff $X$ is isomorphic to a quotient of a subspace of an ultraproduct of $\theta$-Hilbertian spaces for some $ \theta>0$ (see Corollary \ref{comcor4.3}), where $\theta$-Hilbertian is meant in a slightly more general sense than in our previous paper \cite{P1}. Let $B_{{r}}(L_2(\mu))$ be the space of all regular operators on $L_2(\mu)$. We are able to describe the complex interpolation space \[ (B_{{r}}(L_2(\mu), B(L_2(\mu))^\theta. \] We show that $T\colon \ L_2(\mu)\to L_2(\mu)$ belongs to this space iff $T\otimes id_X$ is bounded on $L_2(X)$ for any $\theta$-Hilbertian space $X$. More generally, we are able to describe the spaces $$ (B(\ell_{p_0}), B(\ell_{p_1}))^\theta \ {\rm or}\ (B(L_{p_0}), B(L_{p_1}))^\theta $$ for any pair $1\le p_0,p_1\le \infty$ and $0<\theta<1$. In the same vein, given a locally compact Abelian group $G$, let $M(G)$ (resp.\ $PM(G)$) be the space of complex measures (resp.\ pseudo-measures) on $G$ equipped with the usual norm $\|\mu\|_{M(G)} = |\mu|(G)$ (resp. \[ \|\mu\|_{PM(G)} = \sup\{|\hat\mu(\gamma)| \ \big| \ \gamma\in\widehat G\}). \] We describe similarly the interpolation space $(M(G), PM(G))^\theta$. Various extensions and variants of this result will be given, e.g.\ to Schur multipliers on $B(\ell_2)$ and to operator spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "Majorizing measures and proportional subsets of bounded orthonormal systems" by Olivier Guedon, Shahar Mendelson, Alain Pajor, and Nicole Tomczak-Jaegermann. Abstract: In this article we prove that for any orthonormal system $(\vphi_j)_{j=1}^n \subset L_2$ that is bounded in $L_{\infty}$, and any $1 < k <n$, there exists a subset $I$ of cardinality greater than $n-k$ such that on $\spa\{\vphi_i\}_{i \in I}$, the $L_1$ norm and the $L_2$ norm are equivalent up to a factor $\mu (\log \mu)^{5/2}$, where $\mu = \sqrt{n/k} \sqrt{\log k}$. The proof is based on a new estimate of the supremum of an empirical process on the unit ball of a Banach space with a good modulus of convexity, via the use of majorizing measures.

This is an announcement for the paper "Continuous multilinear functionals on $C(K)$-spaces are integral" by A. Ibort, P. Linares, and J. G. Llavona. Abstract: In this paper we prove the theorem stated on the title: every continuous multilinear functional on $C(K)$-spaces is integral, or what is the same any polymeasure defined on the product of Borelian $\sigma$-algebras defined on compact sets can be extended to a bounded Borel measure on the compact product space. We provide two different proofs of the same result, each one stressing a different aspect of the various implications of this fact. The first one, valid for compact subsets of $\R^n$, is based on the classical multivariate theory of moments and is a natural extension of the Hausdorff moment problem to multilinear functionals. The second proof relies on a multilinear extension of the decomposition theorem of linear functionals on its positive and negative part which allows us prove a multilinear Riesz Theorem as well. These arguments are valid for arbitrary Hausdorff compact sets.

This is an announcement for the paper "Schatten p-norm inequalities related to a characterization of inner product spaces" by O. Hirzallah, F. Kittaneh, and M. S. Moslehian. Abstract: Let $A_1, \cdots A_n$ be operators acting on a separable complex Hilbert space such that $\sum_{i=1}^n A_i=0$. It is shown that if $A_1, \cdots A_n$ belong to a Schatten $p$-class, for some $p>0$, then \begin{equation*} 2^{p/2}n^{p-1} \sum_{i=1}^n \|A_i\|^p_p \leq \sum_{i,j=1}^n\|A_i\pm A_j\|^p_p \end{equation*} for $0<p\leq 2$, and the reverse inequality holds for $2\leq p<\infty$. Moreover, \begin{equation*} \sum_{i,j=1}^n\|A_i\pm A_j\|^2_p \leq 2n^{2/p} \sum_{i=1}^n \|A_i\|^2_p \end{equation*} for $0<p\leq 2$, and the reverse inequality holds for $2\leq p<\infty$. These inequalities are related to a characterization of inner product spaces due to E.R. Lorch.

This is an announcement for the paper "Stability and instability of weighted composition operators" by Jesus Araujo and Juan J. Font. Abstract: Let $\epsilon >0$. A continuous linear operator $T:C(X) \ra C(Y)$ is said to be {\em $\epsilon$-disjointness preserving} if $\vc (Tf)(Tg)\vd_{\infty} \le \epsilon$, whenever $f,g\in C(X)$ satisfy $\vc f\vd_{\infty} =\vc g\vd_{\infty} =1$ and $fg\equiv 0$. In this paper we address basically two main questions: 1.- How close there must be a weighted composition operator to a given $\epsilon$-disjointness preserving operator? 2.- How far can the set of weighted composition operators be from a given $\epsilon$-disjointness preserving operator? We address these two questions distinguishing among three cases: $X$ infinite, $X$ finite, and $Y$ a singleton ($\epsilon$-disjointness preserving functionals). We provide sharp stability and instability bounds for the three cases.

This is an announcement for the paper "Isometric embeddings of compact spaces into Banach spaces" by Yves Dutrieux Gilles Lancien. Abstract: We show the existence of a compact metric space $K$ such that whenever $K$ embeds isometrically into a Banach space $Y$, then any separable Banach space is linearly isometric to a subspace of $Y$. We also address the following related question: if a Banach space $Y$ contains an isometric copy of the unit ball or of some special compact subset of a separable Banach space $X$, does it necessarily contain a subspace isometric to $X$? We answer positively this question when $X$ is a polyhedral finite-dimensional space, $c_0$ or $\ell_1$.

Abstract: This paper contains the following results: a) Suppose that X is a non-trivial Banach space and L is a non-empty locally compact Hausdorff space without any isolated points. Then each linear operator T: C_{0}(L,X)\to C_{0}(L,X), whose range does not contain C_{00} isomorphically, satisfies the Daugavet equality ||I+T||=1+||T||. b) Let \Gamma be a non-empty set and X, Y be Banach spaces such that X is reflexive and Y does not contain c_{0} isomorphically. Then any continuous linear operator T: c_{0}(\Gamma,X)\to Y is weakly compact.

This is an announcement for the paper "Absolutely summing linear operators into spaces with no finite cotype" by Geraldo Botelho and Daniel Pellegrino. Abstract: Given an infinite-dimensional Banach space $X$ and a Banach space $Y$ with no finite cotype, we determine whether or not every continuous linear operator from $X$ to $Y$ is absolutely $(q;p)$-summing for almost all choices of $p$ and $q$, including the case $p=q$. If $X$ assumes its cotype, the problem is solved for all choices of $p$ and $q$. Applications to the theory of dominated multilinear mappings are also provided.
