Title: On the permutative equivalence of squares of unconditional bases
Abstract: We prove that if the squares of two unconditional bases are equivalent up to a permutation, then the bases themselves are permutatively equivalent. This settles a twenty two year-old question raised by Casazza and Kalton in [Uniqueness of unconditional bases in Banach spaces, Israel J. Math. 103 (1998), 141--175]. Solving this problem provides a new paradigm to study the uniqueness of unconditional basis in the general framework of quasi-Banach spaces. Multiple examples are given to illustrate how to put in practice this theoretical scheme. This is joint work with Fernando Albiac.

Title: Banach Spaces which admit lots of closed Operator Ideals
Abstract. We present general conditions which imply that for a Banach space $X$, which has an unconditional basis, the space of bounded linear operators
$ L(X)$ has $2^{\frak c}$ ``small'' closed ideals
(ideals which are generated by finitely strictly singular operators). The class of spaces which satisfy these conditions include:\\
$\ell_p\oplus \ell_q$, $1<p<q<\infty$,\\
$\ell_1\oplus \ell_p$, $c_0\oplus \ell_p$, $\ell_\infty\oplus \ell_p$, $1<p<\infty$,\\
$T^p_\xi\oplus T^q_\xi$, $1< p<q<\infty$, $T^p_\xi$ being the $p$-convexification of the Tsireson space of order $\xi<\omega_1$,\\
$S^p_\xi$, $1\le p<\infty$, $S^p_\xi$ being the $p$-convexification of the Schreier space of order $\xi<\omega_1$,
Using arguments by Beanland, Kania, Laustsen, as well as Gasparis and Leung we show that $\mathcal L(S^p_\xi)$, and
$\mathcal L(T^p_\xi)$, for $\xi<\omega$, has $2^{\frak c}$ ``large'' closed ideals (ideals generated by projections on subspaces which are spanned by subsequences of the basis). Moreover, using an unpublished argument by Johnson, and showing a combinatorial result on higher order Schreier families, we also deduce that $\mathcal L(T^p_\xi)$, for $\xi<\omega_1$,
has $2^{\frak c}$ large closed ideals.
Part of this talk is on joint work with Dan Freeman and \'Andras Zsak.

Title: A variant of the James tree space
Abstract. We will discuss the first part of a work in progress, leading to the construction of an $\ell_{2}$-saturated $d_{2}-$H.I. space. The class of $d_{2}$-H.I. Banach spaces is defined in a recent work of W.Cuellar Carrera, N. de Rancourt and V. Ferenczi where also the problem of the existence of $\ell_{2}$-saturated $d_{2}$-H.I space was posed. In this talk we will present a classical analogue of this space, which is a reflexive space with an unconditional basis, based on the James tree construction. We will discuss its properties and its connection to the desired $d_{2}$-H.I space.
Joint work with Spiros Argyros and Pavlos Motakis

Title: Approximate Ramsey properties of Fréchet spaces
Abstract. In this talk we will consider various Fraïssé-theoretic aspects of Fréchet spaces, which we view as topological vector spaces equipped with a compatible sequence of semi-norms. We will show that certain classes of finite-dimensional Fréchet spaces satisfy a version of the approximate Ramsey property for Banach spaces. We will then see how this property is related to the topological dynamics of the isometry groups of approximately ultrahomogeneous Fréchet spaces. This talk contains joint work in progress with Jordi López-Abad.

Title: Lipschitz free spaces and their biduals
Abstract: We will study continuous linear functionals on Lipschitz spaces with special focus on those belonging to canonical preduals, the Lipschitz free spaces. We will show that in order to verify weak$^*$ continuity of a functional, it suffices to do so for bounded monotone nets of Lipschitz functions. Then, after introducing a notion of support for the functionals, we will discuss their relation to measures. In particular, we will identify the functionals induced by measures as those functionals that admit a Jordan-like decomposition into a positive and a negative part.
The talk will be based on joint work with Ramón J. Aliaga.

Title: An Elementary Exposition of Pisier's Inequality
Abstract: Pisier's inequality is central in the study of normed spaces and has important applications in geometry. We provide an elementary proof of this inequality by constructing an explicit linear proxy function for a suitable probability distribution, thus avoiding some non-constructive steps in previous proofs. We also show a simplification of Bourgain's construction which is sufficient to give a nearly tight matching lower bound.

Title: Quasi-greedy bases in $p$-Banach spaces
Abstract: This talk is based on the paper F. Albiac, J.L. Ansorena and P.W.
\emph{On certain subspaces of $\ell_p$ for $0<p\le 1$ and
their applications to conditional quasi-greedy bases in $p$-Banach
spaces} Mathematische Annalen--available on line.
We construct new quasi-greedy bases in $\ell_p$ and in the
kernels of certain quotient maps from $\ell_p $ onto $L_p$,
$0<p\leq 1$ and study its properties. We note that all the kernels we
study are isomorphic; we denote this space as ${\mathfrak l }_p$ .
We show that there is continuum of non-equivalent quasi-greedy
bases in $\ell_p$ and ${\mathfrak l }_p$ and we study the
conditionality of those bases.

Title: Free Banach lattices: subspace structure and basic sequences
Abstract: Given a Banach space E, one can associate a Banach lattice FBL[E] with the property that every bounded operator from E to a Banach lattice X extends uniquely to a lattice homomorphism from FBL[E] into X. We will discuss the structure of FBL[E], and give complete answers to questions like ``when does an embedding of E into F induce a lattice embedding of FBL[E] into FBL[F]?" This is joint work with Timur Oikhberg, Pedro Tradacete and Vladimir Troitsky.
