Title: Sampling discretization of integral norms
Abstract: The talk is devoted to discretization of integral norms of functions from
a given finite dimensional subspace. Even though this problem is extremely important in applications, its systematic study has begun recently.
In this talk we discuss a conditional theorem for all integral norms $L_q$, $1\le q<\infty$.
A new technique, which works well for discretization of the integral norms, was used. It is
a combination of probabilistic technique with results on the entropy numbers in the uniform norm.
We discuss the behavior of the entropy numbers of classes of functions with bounded integral norms from a given finite dimensional linear subspace.
Upper bounds of these entropy numbers in the uniform norm are obtained and applied
to establish a Marcinkiewicz type discretization theorem for integral norms of functions from a given finite dimensional subspace.
As an application of the general conditional theorem, we discuss a new Marcinkiewicz type
discretization for the multivariate trigonometric polynomials with frequencies from the hyperbolic crosses.
It is shown that recently developed techniques allow us to improve the known results in this direction.

Title: Small operator ideals on the Schlumprecht and Schreier spaces
Abstract. I report on the joint work with Antonis Manoussakis, showing that there are $2^{2^{\aleph_0}}$ many different closed operator ideals on the Schlumprecht space and every Schreier space of finite order admits a chain of the cardinality $2^{\aleph_0}$ of closed operator ideals.

Title: Sharpening the triangle inequality in Lp spaces
Abstract. The classical triangle inequality in Lp estimates the norm of the sum of two functions in terms of the sums of the norms of these functions.
Perhaps one drawback of this estimate is that it does not see how "orthogonal" these functions are.
For example, if f and g are not identically zero and they have disjoint supports then the triangle inequality is pretty strict (say for p>1).
Motivated by the L2 case, where one has a trivial inequality ||f+g||^2 \leq ||f||^2 + ||g||^2 + 2 |fg|_1, one can think about the quantity |fg|_1 as measuring the "overlap" between f and g.
What is the correct analog of this estimate in Lp for p different than 2? My talk will be based on a joint work with Carlen, Frank and Lieb where we obtain one extension of this estimate in Lp, thereby proving and improving the suggested possible estimates by Carbery, and another work with Mooney where we further refine these estimates. The estimates will be provided for all real p's.

Dear Banach Space-natics,
I am sending this email to advertise the Online Operator Theory Seminar at
the University of Virginia. Because of the current pandemic, our seminar is
happening online on Zoom.
In case you would like to receive weekly emails with information about the
seminar (including speaker, title, abstract and Zoom link), please send me
an email to demendoncabraga(a)gmail.com.
With a few exceptions, the Operator Theory Seminar at UVA happens every
Tuesday at 3:45 PM (US Eastern Standard Time). If the speaker agrees, the
talks are recorded and posted on YouTube. Here is the link for our channel:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtWmTsY1I0Te0aFw_gGqo-A
Our next seminar is on September 22nd (next Tuesday) at 4:00 PM (not at
3:45 PM as usual!). Our speaker is Javier Alejandro Chávez-Domínguez from
University of Oklahoma and here are his title and abstract:
Title: Asymptotic dimension and coarse embeddings in the quantum setting
Abstract: We generalize the notions of asymptotic dimension and coarse
embeddings from metric spaces to quantum metric spaces in the sense of
Kuperberg and Weaver. We show that quantum asymptotic dimension behaves
well with respect to metric quotients, direct sums, and quantum coarse
embeddings. Moreover, we prove that a quantum metric space that
equi-coarsely contains a sequence of reflexive quantum expanders must have
infinite asymptotic dimension. This is done by proving a
vertex-isoperimetric inequality for quantum expanders, based upon a
previously known edge-isoperimetric one due to Temme, Kastoryano, Ruskai,
Wolf, and Verstraete. Joint work with Andrew Swift.
You can access the talk at the following link:

Title: Operator algebras on L^p spaces
Abstract. Surprisingly, there appears to be a rich theory of "C* like"
operator algebras on L^p spaces. It is far from actual C*-algebras,
but analogs of some of the basic examples of C*-algebras have
analogs on L^p spaces which share at least some of the properties
of the C* examples. Some of the methods of proof are very different.
There are many open problems. We do not even have a definition of
what it means for an L^p operator algebra to be "C* like"--just
some heuristic criteria.
This talk will try to give an impression of the current state of
the theory, focusing on several classes of examples. It will not
assume significant knowledge of C*-algebras.

Title: When are surjective algebra homomorphisms of $\mathcal{B}(X)$ automatically injective?
Abstract. A classical result of Eidelheit asserts that if $X$ and $Y$ are Banach
spaces then they are isomorphic if and only if their algebras of
operators $\mathcal{B}(X)$ and $\mathcal{B}(Y)$ are isomorphic as Banach
algebras, in the sense that there is a continuous bijective algebra
homomorphism $\psi: \, \mathcal{B}(X) \rightarrow \mathcal{B}(Y)$. It is
natural to ask whether for some class of Banach spaces $X$ this theorem
can be strengthened in the following sense: If $Y$ is a non-zero Banach
space and $\psi: \mathcal{B}(X) \rightarrow \mathcal{B}(Y)$ is a
surjective algebra homomorphism, is $\psi$ automatically injective?
It is easy to see that for a ``very nice'' class Banach spaces, such as
$c_0$ and $\ell_p$, where $1 \leq p < \infty$, the answer is positive.
Further examples include $\ell_{\infty}$ and $( \oplus_{n=1}^{\infty}
\ell_2^n )_{c_0}$ and its dual space $\left( \oplus_{n=1}^{\infty}
\ell_2^n \right)_{\ell_1}$, and the arbitrarily distortable Banach space
$\mathbf{S}$ constructed by Schlumprecht. In recent joint work with
Tomasz Kania it was shown that ``long'' sequence spaces of the form
$c_0(\lambda)$, $\ell_{\infty}^c(\lambda)$ and $\ell_p(\lambda)$ (where
$1 \leq p < \infty$) also enjoy this property.
In the other direction, with the aid of a result of
Kania--Koszmider--Laustsen we will show that for any separable,
reflexive Banach space $X$ there is a Banach space $Y_X$ and a
surjective algebra homomorphism $ \psi: \, \mathcal{B}(Y_X) \rightarrow
\mathcal{B}(X)$ which is not injective.

Title: A separable universal homogeneous Banach lattice
Abstract: We prove the existence of a separable approximately ultra-homogeneous Banach lattice BL that is isometrically universal for separable Banach lattices. This is done by showing that the class of Banach lattices has the Amalgamation Property, and thus finitely generated Banach lattices form a metric Fraïssé class. Some additional results about the structural properties of BL are also proven.
