This is an announcement for the paper "Fraisse limits in functional
analysis" by Martino Lupini.
Abstract:
We provide a unified approach to many Fra\"{\i}ss\'{e} limits in
functional analysis, including the Gurarij space, the Poulsen simplex, and
their noncommutative analogs. We recover in this general framework many
classical results about the Gurarij space and the Poulsen simplex, and at
the same time obtain their noncommutative generalizations. Particularly,
we construct noncommutative analogs of universal operators in the sense
of Rota.

This is an announcement for the paper "Identifying Set Inclusion by
Projective Positions and Mixed Volumes" by D.I. Florentin, V. D. Milman,
and A. Segal.
Abstract:
We study a few approaches to identify inclusion (up to a shift) between
two convex bodies in ${\mathbb R}^n$. To this goal we use mixed volumes
and fractional linear maps. We prove that inclusion may be identified
by comparing volume or surface area of all projective positions of the
sets. We prove similar results for Minkowski sums of the sets.

This is an announcement for the paper "Haar meager sets revisited"
by Martin Dolezal, Martin Rmoutil, Benjamin Vejnar, and Vaclav Vlasak.
Abstract:
In the present article we investigate Darji's notion of Haar meager sets
from several directions. We consider alternative definitions and show
that some of them are equivalent to the original one, while others
fail to produce interesting notions. We define Haar meager sets in
nonabelian Polish groups and show that many results, including the
facts that Haar meager sets are meager and form a $\sigma$-ideal,
are valid in the more general setting as well. The article provides
various examples distinguishing Haar meager sets from Haar null sets,
including decomposition theorems for some subclasses of Polish groups. As
a corollary we obtain, for example, that $\mathbb Z^\omega$, $\mathbb
R^\omega$ or any Banach space can be decomposed into a Haar meager set and
a Haar null set. We also establish the stability of non-Haar meagerness
under Cartesian product.

This is an announcement for the paper "Dual maps and the Dunford-Pettis
property" by Francisco J. Garcia-Pacheco, Alejandro Miralles, and
Daniele Puglisi.
Abstract:
We characterize the points of $\left\|\cdot\right\|$-$w^*$ continuity of
dual maps, turning out to be the smooth points. We prove that a Banach
space has the Schur property if and only if it has the Dunford-Pettis
property and there exists a dual map that is sequentially $w$-$w$
continuous at $0$. As consequence, we show the existence of smooth Banach
spaces on which the dual map is not $w$-$w$ continuous at $0$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Completeness of Sums of Subspace
of Bounded Functions and Applications" by Joel Blot and Philippe Cieutat.
Abstract:
We give a new proof of a characterization of the closeness of the range
of a continuous linear operator and of the closeness of the sum of two
closed vector subspaces of a Banach space. Then we state sufficient
conditions for the closeness of the sum of two closed subspaces of the
Banach space of bounded functions and apply this result on various pseudo
almost periodic spaces and pseudo almost automorphic spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "Dvoretzky's theorem and the
complexity of entanglement detection" by Guillaume Aubrun and Stanislaw
Szarek.
Abstract:
The well-known Horodecki criterion asserts that a state $\rho$ on
$\mathbb{C}^d \otimes \mathbb{C}^d$ is entangled if and only if there
exists a positive map $\Phi : \mathsf{M}_d \to \mathsf{M}_d$ such
that the operator $(\Phi \otimes \mathsf{I})(\rho)$ is not positive
semi-definite. We show that that the number of such maps needed to
detect all the robustly entangled states (i.e., states $\rho$ which
remain entangled even in the presence of substantial randomizing noise)
exceeds $\exp(c d^3 / \log d)$. The proof is based on a study of the
approximability of the set of states (resp. of separable states) by
polytopes with few vertices or with few faces, and ultimately relies on
the Dvoretzky--Milman theorem about the dimension of almost spherical
sections of convex bodies. The result can be interpreted as a geometrical
manifestation of the complexity of entanglement detection.

This is an announcement for the paper "Quantitative affine approximation
for UMD targets" by Tuomas Hytonen, Sean Li, and Assaf Naor.
Abstract:
It is shown here that if $(Y,\|\cdot\|_Y)$ is a Banach space in which
martingale differences are unconditional (a UMD Banach space) then there
exists $c=c(Y)\in (0,\infty)$ with the following property. For every
$n\in \mathbb{N}$ and $\varepsilon\in (0,1/2]$, if $(X,\|\cdot\|_X)$
is an $n$-dimensional normed space with unit ball $B_X$ and $f:B_X\to
Y$ is a $1$-Lipschitz function then there exists an affine mapping
$\Lambda:X\to Y$ and a sub-ball $B^*=y+\rho B_X\subseteq B_X$ of radius
$\rho\ge \exp(-(1/\varepsilon)^{cn})$ such that $\|f(x)-\Lambda(x)\|_Y\le
\varepsilon \rho$ for all $x\in B^*$. This estimate on the macroscopic
scale of affine approximability of vector-valued Lipschitz functions is
an asymptotic improvement (as $n\to \infty$) over the best previously
known bound even when $X$ is $\mathbb{R}^n$ equipped with the Euclidean
norm and $Y$ is a Hilbert space.

This is an announcement for the paper "Narrow Orthogonally Additive
Operators on Lattice-Normed Spaces" by Xiao Chun Fang and Marat Pliev.
Abstract:
The aim of this article is to extend results of M.~Popov and second
named author about orthogonally additive narrow operators on vector
lattices. The main object of our investigations are an orthogonally
additive narrow operators between lattice-normed spaces. We prove that
every $C$-compact laterally-to-norm continuous orthogonally additive
operator from a Banach-Kantorovich space $V$ to a Banach lattice $Y$
is narrow. We also show that every dominated Uryson operator from
Banach-Kantorovich space over an atomless Dedekind complete vector lattice
$E$ to a sequence Banach lattice $\ell_p(\Gamma)$ or $c_0(\Gamma)$ is
narrow. Finally, we prove that if an orthogonally additive dominated
operator $T$ from lattice-normed space $(V,E)$ to Banach-Kantorovich
space $(W,F)$ is order narrow then the order narrow is its exact dominant
$\ls T\rs$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Snowflake universality of
Wasserstein spaces" by Alexandr Andoni, Assaf Naor, and Ofer Neiman.
Abstract:
For $p\in (1,\infty)$ let $\mathscr{P}_p(\mathbb{R}^3)$ denote the
metric space of all $p$-integrable Borel probability measures
on $\mathbb{R}^3$, equipped with the Wasserstein $p$ metric
$\mathsf{W}_p$. We prove that for every $\varepsilon>0$, every $\theta\in
(0,1/p]$ and every finite metric space $(X,d_X)$, the metric space
$(X,d_{X}^{\theta})$ embeds into $\mathscr{P}_p(\mathbb{R}^3)$ with
distortion at most $1+\varepsilon$. We show that this is sharp when
$p\in (1,2]$ in the sense that the exponent $1/p$ cannot be replaced
by any larger number. In fact, for arbitrarily large $n\in \mathbb{N}$
there exists an $n$-point metric space $(X_n,d_n)$ such that for every
$\alpha\in (1/p,1]$ any embedding of the metric space $(X_n,d_n^\alpha)$
into $\mathscr{P}_p(\mathbb{R}^3)$ incurs distortion that is at least a
constant multiple of $(\log n)^{\alpha-1/p}$. These statements establish
that there exists an Alexandrov space of nonnegative curvature,
namely $\mathscr{P}_{\! 2}(\mathbb{R}^3)$, with respect to which
there does not exist a sequence of bounded degree expander graphs. It
also follows that $\mathscr{P}_{\! 2}(\mathbb{R}^3)$ does not admit a
uniform, coarse, or quasisymmetric embedding into any Banach space of
nontrivial type. Links to several longstanding open questions in metric
geometry are discussed, including the characterization of subsets of
Alexandrov spaces, existence of expanders, the universality problem
for $\mathscr{P}_{\! 2}(\mathbb{R}^k)$, and the metric cotype dichotomy
problem.
