This is an announcement for the paper “Observations on quasihyperbolic geometry modeled on Banach spaces” by Antti Rasila<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Rasila_A/0/1/0/all/0/1>, Jarno Talponen<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Talponen_J/0/1/0/all/0/1>, Xiaohui Zhang<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Zhang_X/0/1/0/all/0/1>.
Abstract: In this paper, we continue our study of quasihyperbolic metric in Banach spaces. The main results of the paper present a criterion for smoothness of geodesics of quasihyperbolic type metrics in Banach spaces, under a Dini type condition on the weight function, which improves an earlier result of the two first authors. We also answer to a question posed by the two first authors in an earlier paper with R. Kl\'en, and present results related to the question on smoothness of quasihyperbolic balls.

This is an announcement for the paper “There is no finitely isometric Krivine's theorem” by James Kilbane<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Kilbane_J/0/1/0/all/0/1>, Mikhail I. Ostrovsk<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Ostrovskii_M/0/1/0/all/0/1>.
Abstract: We prove that for every $p\in (1, \infty)$, $p\neq 2$, there exist a Banach space $X$ isomorphic to $\ell_p$ and a finite subset $U$ in $\ell_p$, such that $U$ is not isometric to a subset of $X$. This result shows that the finite isometric version of the Krivine theorem (which would be a strengthening of the Krivine theorem (1976)) does not hold.

This is an announcement for the paper “Weak closure of ultrapowers of operators on $L_p$” by March Boedihardjo<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Boedihardjo_M/0/1/0/all/0/1>.
Abstract: Let $1<p<\infty$. We find the closure of ultrapowers of operators on $L_p$ in the weak operator topology when the ultrafilter is selective. As a consequence, we show that the commutant of $B(L_p)$ in its ultrapower may or may not be trivial depending on the ultrafilter assuming the existence of a selective nonprincipal ultrafilter. This extends a result of Farah, Phillips and Stepr\=ans.

This is an announcement for the paper “Extremal structure and Duality of Lipschitz free spaces” by Luis García-Lirola<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Garcia_Lirola_L/0/1/0/all/0/1>, Colin Petitjean<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Petitjean_C/0/1/0/all/0/1>, Antonin Procházka<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Prochazka_A/0/1/0/all/0/1>, Abraham Rueda Zoca<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Zoca_A/0/1/0/all/0/1>.
Abstract: We analyse the relationship between different extremal notions in Lipschitz free spaces (strongly exposed, exposed, preserved extreme and extreme points). We prove in particular that every preserved extreme point of the unit ball is also a denting point. We also show in some particular cases that every extreme point is a molecule, and that a molecule is extreme whenever the two points, say $x$ and $y$, which define it satisfy that the metric segment $[x,y]$ only contains $x$ and $y$. The most notable among them is the case when the free space admits an isometric predual with some additional properties. As an application, we get some new consequences about norm-attainment in spaces of vector valued Lipschitz functions.

This is an announcement for the paper “The algebras of bounded operators on the Tsirelson and Baernstein spaces are not Grothendieck spaces” by Kevin Beanland<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Beanland_K/0/1/0/all/0/1>, Tomasz Kania<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Kania_T/0/1/0/all/0/1>, Niels Jakob Laustsen<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Laustsen_N/0/1/0/all/0/1>.
Abstract: We show that if the Banach algebra $\mathcal{B}(X)$ of bounded operators on a Banach space $X$ is a Grothendieck space, then $X$ is reflexive, and we give two new examples of reflexive Banach spaces $X$ for which $\mathcal{B}(X)$ is not a Grothendieck space, namely $X=T$ (the Tsirelson space) and $X=B_p$(the $p$th Baernstein space) for $p\in (1, \infty)$.

This is an announcement for the paper “The almost-invariant subspace problem for Banach spaces” by Adi Tcaciuc<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Tcaciuc_A/0/1/0/all/0/1>.
Abstract: We show that for any bounded operator $T$ acting on an infinite dimensional Banach space there exists a rank one operator $F$ such that $T+F$ has invariant subspace of infinite dimension and codimension. This extends to arbitrary Banach spaces a previous result that was proved only in the reflexive case. We also show that, for any fixed $\epsilon>0$, there exists $F$ as above such that $\|F\|<\epsilon$.

This is an announcement for the paper “Injectivity and projectivity in $p$-multinormed spaces” by Timur Oikhberg<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Oikhberg_T/0/1/0/all/0/1>.
Abstract: We find large classes of injective and projective $p$-multinormed spaces. In fact, these classes are universal, in the sense that every $p$-multinormed space embeds into (is a quotient of) an injective (resp. projective) $p$-multinormed space. As a consequence, we show that any $p$-multinormed space has a canonical representation as a subspace of a quotient of a Banach lattice.

This is an announcement for the paper “Embeddings and Lebesgue-type inequalities for the greedy algorithm in Banach spaces” by P.M. Berná<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Berna_P/0/1/0/all/0/1>, O. Blasco<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Blasco_O/0/1/0/all/0/1>, G. Garrigós<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Garrigos_G/0/1/0/all/0/1>, E. Hernández. T. Oikhberg<https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Oikhberg_E/0/1/0/all/0/1>.
Abstract: We obtain Lebesgue-type inequalities for the greedy algorithm for arbitrary complete seminormalized biorthogonal systems in Banach spaces. The bounds are given only in terms of the upper democracy functions of the basis and its dual. We also show that these estimates are equivalent to embeddings between the given Banach space and certain discrete weighted Lorentz spaces. Finally, the asymptotic optimality of these inequalities is illustrated in various examples of non necessarily quasi-greedy bases.
