This is an announcement for the paper “Extreme contractions on finite-dimensional polygonal Banach spaces” by Debmalya Sain<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Sain%2C+D>, Anubhab Ray<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Ray%2C+A>, Kallol Paul<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Paul%2C+K>.
Abstract: We explore extreme contractions between finite-dimensional polygonal Banach spaces, from the point of view of attainment of norm of a linear operator. We prove that if $ X $ is an $ n- $dimensional polygonal Banach space and $ Y $ is any Banach space and $ T \in L(X,Y) $ is an extreme contraction, then $ T $ attains norm at $ n $ linearly independent extreme points of $ B_{X}. $ Moreover, if $ T $ attains norm at exactly $ n $ linearly independent extreme points $ x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n $ of $ B_X $ and does not attain norm at any other extreme point of $ B_X, $ then each $ Tx_i $ is an extreme point of $ B_Y.$ We completely characterize extreme contractions between a finite-dimensional polygonal Banach space and a strictly convex Banach space. We introduce L-P property for a pair of Banach spaces and show that it has natural connections with our present study. We also prove that for any strictly convex Banach space $ X $ and any finite-dimensional polygonal Banach space $ Y, $ the pair $ (X,Y) $ does not have L-P property. Finally, we obtain a characterization of Hilbert spaces among strictly convex Banach spaces in terms of L-P property.

This is an announcement for the paper “Burkholder-Davis-Gundy inequalities in UMD Banach spaces” by Ivan S. Yaroslavtsev<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Yaroslavtsev%2C+I+S>.
Abstract: In this paper we prove Burkholder-Davis-Gundy inequalities for a general martingale $M$ with values in a UMD Banach space $X$. Assuming that $M_0=0$, we show that the following two-sided inequality holds for all $1\leq p<\infty$: \begin{align}\label{eq:main}\tag{{$\star$}}
\mathbb E \sup_{0\leq s\leq t} \|M_s\|^p \eqsim_{p, X} \mathbb E \gamma([\![M]\!]_t)^p ,\;\;\; t\geq 0. \end{align} Here $ \gamma([\![M]\!]_t) $ is the $L^2$-norm of the unique Gaussian measure on $X$ having $[\![M]\!]_t(x^*,y^*):= [\langle M,x^*\rangle, \langle M,y^*\rangle]_t$ as its covariance bilinear form. This extends to general UMD spaces a recent result by Veraar and the author, where a pointwise version of \eqref{eq:main} was proved for UMD Banach functions spaces $X$.
We show that for continuous martingales, \eqref{eq:main} holds for all $0<p<\infty$, and that for purely discontinuous martingales the right-hand side of \eqref{eq:main} can be expressed more explicitly in terms of the jumps of $M$. For martingales with independent increments, \eqref{eq:main} is shown to hold more generally in reflexive Banach spaces $X$ with finite cotype. In the converse direction, we show that the validity of \eqref{eq:main} for arbitrary martingales implies the UMD property for $X$.
As an application we prove various It\^o isomorphisms for vector-valued stochastic integrals with respect to general martingales, which extends earlier results by van Neerven, Veraar, and Weis for vector-valued stochastic integrals with respect to a Brownian motion. We also provide It\^o isomorphisms for vector-valued stochastic integrals with respect to compensated Poisson and general random measures.

This is an announcement for the paper “On the fixed point property in Banach spaces isomorphic to $c_0$” by Cleon S. Barroso<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Barroso%2C+C+S>.
Abstract: We prove that every Banach space containing a subspace isomorphic to $\co$ fails the fixed point property. The proof is based on an amalgamation approach involving a suitable combination of known results and techniques, including James's distortion theorem, Ramsey's combinatorial theorem, Brunel-Sucheston spreading model techniques and Dowling, Lennard and Turett's fixed point methodology employed in their characterization of weak compactness in $\co$.

This is an announcement for the paper “A characterization of superreflexivity through embeddings of lamplighter groups” by Mikhail I. Ostrovskii<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Ostrovskii%2C+M+I>, Beata Randrianantoanina<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Randrianantoanina%2C+B>.
Abstract: We prove that finite lamplighter groups $\{\mathbb{Z}_2\wr\mathbb{Z}_n\}_{n\ge 2}$ with a standard set of generators
embed with uniformly bounded distortions into any non-superreflexive Banach space, and therefore form a set of test-spaces for superreflexivity. Our proof is inspired by the well known identification of Cayley graphs of infinite lamplighter groups with the horocyclic product of trees. We cover $\mathbb{Z}_2\wr\mathbb{Z}_n$ by three sets with a structure similar to a horocyclic product of trees, which enables us to construct well-controlled embeddings.

This is an announcement for the paper “Embedding Banach spaces into the space of bounded functions with countable support” by William B. Johnson<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Johnson%2C+W+B>, Tomasz Kania<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Kania%2C+T>.
Abstract: We prove that a WLD subspace of the space $\ell_\infty^c(\Gamma)$ consisting of all bounded, countably supported functions on a set $\Gamma$ embeds isomorphically into $\ell_\infty$ if and only if it does not contain isometric copies of $c_0(\omega_1)$. Moreover, a subspace of $\ell_\infty^c(\omega_1)$ is constructed that has an unconditional basis, does not embed into $\ell_\infty$, and whose every weakly compact subset is separable (in particular, it cannot contain any isomorphic copies of $c_0(\omega_1)$).

This is an announcement for the paper “Lipschitz free spaces on finite metric spaces” by Stephen J. Dilworth<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Dilworth%2C+S+J>, Denka Kutzarova<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Kutzarova%2C+D>, Mikhail I. Ostrovskii<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Ostrovskii%2C+M+I>.
Abstract: Main results of the paper:
(1) For any finite metric space $M$ the Lipschitz free space on $M$ contains a large well-complemented subspace which is close to $\ell_1^n$.
(2) Lipschitz free spaces on large classes of recursively defined sequences of graphs are not uniformly isomorphic to $\ell_1^n$ of the corresponding dimensions. These classes contain well-known families of diamond graphs and Laakso graphs.
Interesting features of our approach are: (a) We consider averages over groups of cycle-preserving bijections of graphs which are not necessarily graph automorphisms; (b) In the case of such recursive families of graphs as Laakso graphs we use the well-known approach of Gr\"unbaum (1960) and Rudin (1962) for estimating projection constants in the case where invariant projections are not unique.
