This is an announcement for the paper "Uncountable equilateral sets in
Banach spaces of the form $C(K)$" by Piotr Koszmider.
Abstract:
The paper is concerned with the problem whether a nonseparable
Banach space must contain an uncountable set of vectors such that the
distances between every two distinct vectors of the set are the same. Such
sets are called equilateral. We show that Martin's axiom and the negation
of the continuum hypothesis imply that every nonseparable Banach space
of the form $C(K)$ has an uncountable equilateral set. We also show
that one cannot obtain such a result without an additional set-theoretic
assumption since we construct an example of nonseparable Banach space of
the form $C(K)$ which has no uncountable equilateral set (or equivalently
no uncountable $(1+\varepsilon)$-separated set in the unit sphere for
any $\varepsilon>0$) making another consistent combinatorial assumption.
The compact $K$ is a version of the split interval obtained from
a sequence of functions which behave in an anti-Ramsey manner. It remains
open if there is an absolute example of a nonseparable Banach space
of the form different than $C(K)$ which has no uncountable equilateral
set. It follows from the results of S. Mercourakis, G. Vassiliadis that
our example has an equivalent renorming in which it has an uncountable
equilateral set. It remains open if there are consistent examples which
have no uncountable equilateral sets in any equivalent renorming. It
follows from the results of S. Todorcevic that it is consistent that
every nonseparable Banach space has an equivalent renorming in in which
it has an uncountable equilateral set.

This is an announcement for the paper "Norm-attaining functionals and
proximinal subspaces" by Martin Rmoutil.
Abstract:
G. Godefroy asked whether, on any Banach space, the set of
norm-attaining functionals contains a 2-dimensional linear subspace. We
prove that a recent construction due to C.J. Read provides an example of
a space which does not have this property. This is done through a study
of the relation between the following two sentences where X is a Banach
space and Y is a closed subspace of finite codimension in X: (A) Y is
proximinal in X. (B) The annihilator of Y consists of norm-attaining
functionals. We prove that these are equivalent if X is the Read's
space. Moreover, we prove that any non-reflexive Banach space X with
any given closed subspace Y of finite codimension at least 2 admits an
equivalent norm such that (B) is true and (A) is false.

This is an announcement for the paper "An Inverse Ackermannian Lower
Bound on the Local Unconditionality Constant of the James Space" by
Henry Towsner.
Abstract:
The proof that the James space is not locally unconditional appears
to be non-constructive, since it makes use of an ultraproduct
construction. Using proof mining, we extract a constructive proof
and obtain a lower bound on the growth of the local unconditionality
constants.

This is an announcement for the paper "Equipped graded graphs, projective
limits of simplices, and their boundaries" by A.Vershik.
Abstract:
In this paper, we develop a theory of equipped graded graphs (or
Bratteli diagrams) and an alternative theory of projective limits of
finite-dimensional simplices. An equipment is an additional structure on
the graph, namely, a system of ``cotransition'' probabilities on the set
of its paths. The main problem is to describe all probability measures
on the path space of a graph with given cotransition probabilities;
it goes back to the problem, posed by E.~B.~Dynkin in the 1960s, of
describing exit and entrance boundaries for Markov chains. The most
important example is the problem of describing all central measures, to
which one can reduce the problems of describing states on AF-algebras
or characters on locally finite groups. We suggest an unification of
the whole theory, an interpretation of the notions of Martin, Choquet,
and Dynkin boundaries in terms of equipped graded graphs and in terms
of the theory of projective limits of simplices. In the last section,
we study the new notion of ``standardness'' of projective limits of
simplices and of equipped Bratteli diagrams, as well as the notion of
``lacunarization.''

This is an announcement for the paper "Smoothness of bounded linear
operators" by Kallol Paul, Debmalya Sain and Puja Ghosh.
Abstract:
We prove that for a bounded linear operator $T$ on a Hilbert space
$\mathbb{H},$ $T \bot_B A \Leftrightarrow \langle Tx, Ax \rangle = 0 $
for some $x \in S_{\mathbb{H}}, \|Tx\| = \|T\| $ iff the norm attaining
set $M_T = \{ x \in S_{\mathbb{H}} : \|Tx\| = \|T\|\} $ is a unit sphere
of some finite dimensional subspace $H_0$ of $\mathbb{H}$ i.e., $M_T =
S_{H_0} $ and $\|T\|_{{H_0}^{\bot}} < \|T\|.$ We also prove that if $T$
is a bounded linear operator on a Banach space $\mathbb{X}$ with the norm
attaining set $M_T = D \cup(-D)$ ( $D$ is a non-empty compact connected
subset of $S_{\mathbb{X}}$) and $\sup_{y \in C} \|Ty\| < \|T\|$ for
all closed subsets $C$ of $S_{\mathbb{X}}$ with $d(M_T,C) > 0,$ then $T
\bot_B A \Leftrightarrow Tx \bot_B Ax $ for some $x \in M_T.$ Using these
results we characterize smoothness of compact operators on normed linear
spaces and smoothness of bounded linear operators on Hilbert as well
as Banach spaces. This is for the first time that a characterization
of smoothness of bounded linear operators on a normed linear space
has been obtained. We prove that $T \in B(\mathbb{X}, \mathbb{Y})$
(where $\mathbb{X}$ is a real Banach space and $\mathbb{Y}$ is a real
normed linear space) is smooth iff $T$ attains its norm at unique
(upto muliplication by scalar) vector $ x \in S_{\mathbb{X}},$ $Tx$
is a smooth point of $\mathbb{Y} $ and $\sup_{y \in C} \|Ty\| < \|T\|$
for all closed subsets $C$ of $S_{\mathbb{X}}$ with $d(\pm x,C) > 0.$

This is an announcement for the paper "On uniformly differentiable
mappings" by Eva Pernecka.
Abstract:
We are concerned with the rigidity of $\ell_\infty$ and $\ell_\infty^n$
with respect to uniformly differentiable mappings. Our main result
is a non-linear analogy of the classical result on the rigidity of
$\ell_\infty$ with respect to non-weakly compact linear operators by
Rosenthal, and it generalises the theorem on the non-complementability
of $c_0$ in $\ell_\infty$ due to Phillips.

This is an announcement for the paper "An integral formula for multiple
summing norms of operators" by Daniel Carando, Veronica Dimant, Santiago
Muro, and Damian Pinasco.
Abstract:
We prove that the multiple summing norm of multilinear operators
defined on some $n$-dimensional real or complex vector spaces with
the $p$-norm may be written as an integral with respect to stables
measures. As an application we show inclusion and coincidence results for
multiple summing mappings. We also present some contraction properties
and compute or estimate the limit orders of this class of operators.

This is an announcement for the paper "Some polynomial versions of
cotype and applications" by Danie Carando, Andreas Defant, and Pablo
Sevilla-Peris.
Abstract:
We introduce non-linear versions of the classical cotype of Banach
spaces. We show that spaces with l.u.st and cotype, and that spaces having
Fourier cotype enjoy our non-linear cotype. We apply these concepts to
get results on convergence of vector-valued power series in infinite
many variables and on $\ell_{1}$-multipliers of vector-valued Dirichlet
series. Finally we introduce cotype with respect to indexing sets,
an idea that includes our previous definitions.

This is an announcement for the paper "Proper subspaces and compatibility"
by Esteban Andruchow, Eduardo Chiumiento and Maria Eugenia Di Iorio
y Lucero.
Abstract:
Let $\mathcal{E}$ be a Banach space contained in a Hilbert space
$\mathcal{L}$. Assume that the inclusion is continuous with dense range.
Following the terminology of Gohberg and Zambicki\v{\i}, we say that
a bounded operator on $\mathcal{E}$ is a proper operator if it admits
an adjoint with respect to the inner product of $\mathcal{L}$. By a
proper subspace $\mathcal{S}$ we mean a closed subspace of $\mathcal{E}$
which is the range of a proper projection. If there exists a proper
projection which is also self-adjoint with respect to the inner product
of $\mathcal{L}$, then $\mathcal{S}$ belongs to a well-known class of
subspaces called compatible subspaces. We find equivalent conditions
to describe proper subspaces. Then we prove a necessary and sufficient
condition to ensure that a proper subspace is compatible. Each proper
subspace $\mathcal{S}$ has a supplement $\mathcal{T}$ which is also
a proper subspace. We give a characterization of the compatibility
of both subspaces $\mathcal{S}$ and $\mathcal{T}$. Several examples
are provided that illustrate different situations between proper and
compatible subspaces.
