Title: Sequential octahedrality and L-orthogonal elements
Abstract: Given a Banach space $X$, we consider the following two isometric properties, variations on the notion of octahedrality that can be traced back to the work of B. Maurey:
1. There is an element $e^{**}$ in the sphere of the bidual such that $\|e^{**}+x\| = 1 + \|x\|$ for every $x\in X$.
2. There is a sequence $(e_n)$ in the sphere of $X$ such that $\lim_n \|e_n+x\| = 1 + \|x\|$
Uncountable sums provide examples that 1 does not imply 2. But the converse is unclear. It is natural to conjecture that a weak$^*$-cluster point of the sequence $(e_n)$ would give the desired $e^{**}$. This turns out to be independent of the usual axioms of set theory. The proof involves understanding different kinds of ultrafilters that may or may not exist, as well as a filter version of the Lebesgue dominated convergence theorem, similar to those considered by V. Kadets and A. Leonov. This is a joint work (in progress) with G. Mart\'{\i}nez Cervantes and A. Rueda Zoca.

Title: Garling and Lorentz Sequence Spaces
Abstract. We survey some recent results of Garling and Lorentz sequence spaces. Namely, we show that Garling sequence spaces have a unique subsymmetric basis which is not symmetric, are complementably homogeneous, and uniformly complementably lp-saturated. We also exhibit, under certain conditions, a chain of uncountably many closed ideals in its operator algebra, and then do the same for the Lorentz sequence spaces. Finally, we find a nontrivial complemented subspace which is not isomorphic to lp.

Title: Typical properties of contractions on $\ell_p$-spaces
Abstract: Given a separable Banach space $X$ of infinite dimension, one can consider
on the space $\mathcal{B}(X)$ of bounded linear operators on $X$ several
natural topologies which turn the closed unit ball
$B_1(X)=\{T\in\mathcal{B}(X);||T||\le 1\}$ into a Polish space, i.e. a
separable and completely metrizable space.
In these talk, I will present some results concerning typical properties
in the Baire Category sense of operators of $B_1(X)$ for these
topologies when $X$ is a $\ell_p$-space, our main interest being to
determine whether typical contractions on these spaces have a non-trivial
invariant subspace or not.

Title: On a duality between Banach spaces and operators
Abstract: Most classical local properties of a Banach spaces (for
example type or cotype, UMD) are defined in terms of the boundedness of
vector-valued operators between Lp spaces or their subspaces. It was in
fact proved by Hernandez in the early 1980s that this is the case of any
property that is stable by Lp direct sums and finite representability.
His result can be seen as one direction of a bipolar theorem for a
non-linear duality between Banach spaces and operators. I will present
the other direction and describe the bipolar of any class of operators
for this duality. The talk will be based on my recent preprint
arxiv:2101.07666.

Title: A metric characterizaion of Rolewicz's property ($\beta$)
Abstract: In this talk we will give a new metric characterization of the class of Banach spaces admitting an equivalent norm of Rolewicz's property ($\beta$). Applications regarding the stability of property ($\beta$) under coarse Lipschitz embeddings and nonlinear quotients will be discussed.

Title: The Radon-Nikodým and Schur properties in Lipschitz-free spaces
Abstract: In this talk I will sketch the proof that, for
Lipschitz-free spaces $\mathcal{F}(M)$ over complete metric spaces
$M$, several Banach space properties are equivalent including the
Radon-Nikodým property, the Schur property, the Krein-Milman property,
or not containing copies of $L_1$. These properties hold exactly when
$M$ is a purely 1-unrectifiable metric space. For compact $M$, these
properties are also equivalent to $\mathcal{F}(M)$ being a dual Banach
space. The talk will be based on joint work with C. Gartland, C.
Petitjean and A. Procházka.

Title: Restriced invertibility, subsymmetric bases and factorization
Abstract: Given an unconditional normalized basis $(e_j)_{j=1}^n$ of a Banach space $X_n$, we consider
conditions under which an operator $T\colon X_n\to X_n$ with ``large diagonal'' can be inverted when
restricted to $X_\sigma = [e_j : j\in\sigma]$ for a ``large'' set $\sigma\subset \{1,\ldots,n\}$
(restricted invertibility). We then discuss restricted invertibility and its close connection to
finite dimensional quantitative factorization.
In the second part of the talk, we show that subsymmetric Schauder bases $(e_j)$ of an infinite
dimensional Banach space $X$ have the factorization property, i.e.\@ the identity $I_X$ on $X$
factors through every bounded operator $T\colon X\to X$ with large diagonal. In Banach spaces with a
Schauder basis, this type of result can often be proved using gliding-hump techniques, but in
non-separable Banach spaces gliding-hump techniques seem unfeasible. However, if $(e_j^*)$ is a
non-$\ell^1$-splicing (there is no disjointly supported $\ell^1$-sequence in $X$) subsymmetric
weak$^*$ Schauder basis for the dual $X^*$ of $X$, $(e_j^*)$ also has the factorization property.
