This is an announcement for the paper "On norm closed ideals in
L(\ell_p\oplus\ell_q)" by B. Sari, Th. Schlumprecht, N. Tomczak-Jaegermann,
and V.G. Troitsky.
Abstract: It is well known that the only proper non-trivial norm-closed
ideal in the algebra L(X) for X=\ell_p (1 \le p < \infty) or X=c_0
is the ideal of compact operators. The next natural question is to
describe all closed ideals of L(\ell_p\oplus\ell_q) for 1 \le p,q
< \infty, p \neq q, or, equivalently, the closed ideals in
L(\ell_p,\ell_q) for p < q. This paper shows that for 1 < p < 2 <
q < \infty there are at least four distinct proper closed ideals
in L(\ell_p,\ell_q), including one that has not been studied before.
The proofs use various methods from Banach space theory.

This is an announcement for the paper "Numerical index and duality"
by Konstantin Boyko, Vladimir Kadets, Miguel Martin, and Dirk Werner.
Abstract: We present an example of a Banach space whose numerical
index is strictly greater than the numerical index of its dual,
giving a negative answer to a question which has been latent since
the beginning of the seventies. We also show a particular case in
which the numerical index of the space and the one of its dual
coincide.

This is an announcement for the paper "The Daugavet property for
spaces of Lipschitz functions" by Yevgen Ivakhno, Vladimir Kadets
and Dirk Werner.
Abstract: For a compact metric space $K$ the space $\Lip(K)$ has
the Daugavet property if and only if the norm of every $f \in
\Lip(K)$ is attained locally. If $K$ is a subset of an $L_p$-space,
$1<p<\infty$, this is equivalent to the convexity of~$K$.

for non-commutative martingales" by Narcisse Randrianantoanina.
Abstract: We prove a weak-type (1,1) inequality involving conditioned
square functions of martingales in non-commutative $L^p$-spaces
associated with finite von Neumann algebras. As application, we
determine the optimal orders for the best constants in the
non-commutative Burkholder/Rosenthal inequalities from Ann. Proba.
31 (2003), 948-995. We also discuss BMO-norms of sums of non-commuting
order independent operators.

This is an announcement for the paper "Compression of uniform
embeddings into Hilbert space" by N. Brodskiy and D. Sonkin.
Abstract: If one tries to embed a metric space uniformly in Hilbert
space, how close to quasi-isometric could the embedding be? We
answer this question for finite dimensional CAT(0) cube complexes
and for hyperbolic groups. In particular, we show that the Hilbert
space compression of any hyperbolic group is 1.

Abstract: We consider problems concerning the partial order structure
of the set of spreading models of Banach spaces. We construct

sets include certain classes of finite semi-lattices and countable
lattices, and all finite lattices.

This is an announcement for the paper "Noncommmutative Gelfand
duality for not necessarily unital $C^*$-algebras, Jordan canonical
form, and the existence of invariant subspaces" by Mukul S. Patel.
Abstract: Gelfand-Naimark duality (Commutative $C^*$-algebras
$\equiv$ Locally compact Hausdorff spaces) is extended to
\begin{center}$C^*$-algebras $\equiv$ Quotient maps on locally
compact Hausdorff spaces.\end{center} Using this duality, we give
for an \emph{arbitrary} bounded operator on a complex Hilbert space
of several dimensions, a functional calculus and the existence
theorem for nontrivial invariant subspace.

This is an announcement for the paper "A note on convex renorming
and fragmentability" by A K Mirmostafaee.
Abstract: Using the game approach to fragmentability, we give new
and simpler proofs of the following known results: (a)~If the Banach
space admits an equivalent Kadec norm, then its weak topology is
fragmented by a metric which is stronger than the norm topology.
(b)~If the Banach space admits an equivalent rotund norm, then its
weak topology is fragmented by a metric. (c)~If the Banach space
is weakly locally uniformly rotund, then its weak topology is
fragmented by a metric which is stronger than the norm topology.
