This is an announcement for the paper "On an extension of the
Blaschke-Santalo inequality" by David Alonso-Gutierrez.
Abstract: Let $K$ be a convex body and $K^\circ$ its polar body.
Call $\phi(K)=\frac{1}{|K||K^\circ|}\int_K\int_{K^\circ}\langle
x,y\rangle^2 dxdy$. It is conjectured that $\phi(K)$ is maximum
when $K$ is the euclidean ball. In particular this statement implies
the Blaschke-Santalo inequality. We verify this conjecture when $K$
is restricted to be a $p$--ball.

This is an announcement for the paper "Gruenhage compacta and
strictly convex dual norms" by Richard J. Smith.
Abstract: We prove that if K is a Gruenhage compact space then C(K)*
admits an equivalent, strictly convex dual norm. As a corollary,
we show that if X is a Banach space and X* is the |.|-closed linear
span of K, where K is a Gruenhage compact in the w*-topology and
|.| is equivalent to a coarser, w*-lower semicontinuous norm on X*,
then X* admits an equivalent, strictly convex dual norm. We give a
partial converse to the first result by showing that if T is a tree,
then C(T)* admits an equivalent, strictly convex dual norm if and
only if T is a Gruenhage space. Finally, we present some stability
properties satisfied by Gruenhage spaces; in particular, Gruenhage
spaces are stable under perfect images.

This is an announcement for the paper "Trees, linear orders and
G\^ateaux smooth norms" by Richard J. Smith.
Abstract: We introduce a linearly ordered set Z and use it to prove
a necessity condition for the existence of a G\^ateaux smooth norm
on C(T), where T is a tree. This criterion is directly analogous
to the corresponding equivalent condition for Fr\'echet smooth
norms. In addition, we prove that if C(T) admits a G\^ateaux smooth
lattice norm then it also admits a lattice norm with strictly convex
dual norm.

Abstract: We give a new proof of a recent characterization by Diaz

a Banach function space with order continuous norm.

This is an announcement for the paper "Characterizing arbitrarily
slow convergence in the method of alternating projections" by
H.H. Bauschke, F. Deutsch and H. Hundal.
Abstract: In 1997, Bauschke, Borwein, and Lewis have stated a
trichotomy theorem that characterizes when the convergence of the
method of alternating projections can be arbitrarily slow. However,
there are two errors in their proof of this theorem. In this note,
we show that although one of the errors is critical, the theorem
itself is correct. We give a different proof that uses the
multiplicative form of the spectral theorem, and the theorem holds
in any real or complex Hilbert space, not just in a real Hilbert
space.

This is an announcement for the paper "Geometry of sets of quantum
maps: a generic positive map acting on a high-dimensional system
is not completely positive" by Stanislaw J. Szarek, Elisabeth Werner
and Karol Zyczkowski.
Abstract: We investigate the set a) of positive, trace preserving
maps acting on density matrices of size N, and a sequence of its
nested subsets: the sets of maps which are b) decomposable, c)
completely positive, d) extended by identity impose positive partial
transpose and e) are superpositive. Working with the Hilbert-Schmidt
(Euclidean) measure we derive tight explicit two-sided bounds for
the volumes of all five sets. A sample consequence is the fact that,
as N increases, a generic positive map becomes not decomposable
and, a fortiori, not completely positive.
Due to the Jamiolkowski isomorphism, the results obtained for
quantum maps are closely connected to similar relations between the volume of
the set of quantum states and the volumes of its subsets (such as
states with positive partial transpose or separable states) or
supersets. Our approach depends on systematic use of duality to
derive quantitative estimates, and on various tools of classical
convexity, high-dimensional probability and geometry of Banach
spaces, some of which are not standard.

This is an announcement for the paper "How can we recover Baire
class one functions?" by Dominique Lecomte.
Abstract: Let X and Y be separable metrizable spaces, and f:X-->Y
be a function. We want to recover f from its values on a small set
via a simple algorithm. We show that this is possible if f is Baire
class one, and in fact we get a characterization. This leads us to
the study of sets of Baire class one functions and to a characterization
of the separability of the dual space of an arbitrary Banach space.

The exceptional cases" by Chang-Pao Chen, Chun-Yen Shen, and Kuo-Zhong

Abstract: Let $A=(a_{j,k})_{j,k \ge 1}$ be a non-negative matrix.
In this paper, we characterize those $A$ for which $\|A\|_{\ell_p,\ell_q}$
are determined by their actions on non-negative decreasing sequences,
where one of $p$ and $q$ is 1 or $\infty$. The conditions forcing
on $A$ are sufficient and they are also necessary for non-negative
finite matrices.

This is an announcement for the paper "Robust dimension reduction,
fusion frames, and Grassmannian packings" by Gitta Kutyniok, Ali
Pezeshki, Robert Calderbank, and Taotao Liu.
Abstract: We consider estimating a random vector from its noisy
projections onto low dimensional subspaces constituting a fusion
frame. A fusion frame is a collection of subspaces, for which the
sum of the projection operators onto the subspaces is bounded below
and above by constant multiples of the identity operator. We first
determine the minimum mean-squared error (MSE) in linearly estimating
the random vector of interest from its fusion frame projections,
in the presence of white noise. We show that MSE assumes its minimum
value when the fusion frame is tight. We then analyze the robustness
of the constructed linear minimum MSE (LMMSE) estimator to erasures
of the fusion frame subspaces. We prove that tight fusion frames
consisting of equi-dimensional subspaces have maximum robustness
(in the MSE sense) with respect to erasures of one subspace, and
that the optimal subspace dimension depends on signal-to-noise ratio
(SNR). We also prove that tight fusion frames consisting of
equi-dimensional subspaces with equal pairwise chordal distances
are most robust with respect to two and more subspace erasures. We
call such fusion frames equi-distance tight fusion frames, and prove
that the chordal distance between subspaces in such fusion frames
meets the so-called simplex bound, and thereby establish connections
between equi-distance tight fusion frames and optimal Grassmannian
packings. Finally, we present several examples for construction
of equi-distance tight fusion frames.

Abstract: In order to generalize the results of Mazur-Ulam and Vogt,
we shall prove that any map T which preserves equality of distance
with T(0)=0 between two F-spaces without surjective condition is
linear. Then , as a special case linear isometries are characterized
through a simple property of their range.
