This is an announcement for the paper "Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'as property for bilinear forms on spaces of continuous functions" by Sun Kwang Kim, Han Ju Lee, and Miguel Martin. Abstract: It is shown that the Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'as theorem holds for bilinear forms on the complex $C_0(L_1)\times C_0(L_2)$ for arbitrary locally compact topological Hausdorff spaces $L_1$ and $L_2$.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the complexity of the set of unconditional convex bodies" by Mark Rudelson. Abstract: We show that for any t>1, the set of unconditional convex bodies in R^n contains a t-separated subset of cardinality at least 0.1 exp exp (C(t) n). This implies that there exists an unconditional convex body in R^n which cannot be approximated within the distance d by a projection of a polytope with N faces unless N > exp(c(d)n). We also show that for t>2, the cardinality of a t-separated set of completely symmetric bodies in R^n does not exceed exp exp (c(t)(log n)^2).

This is an announcement for the paper "Estimating the number of eigenvalues of linear operators on Banach spaces" by Michael Demuth, Franz Hanauska, Marcel Hansmann, and Guy Katriel. Abstract: Let $L_0$ be a bounded operator on a Banach space, and consider a perturbation $L=L_0+K$, where $K$ is compact. This work is concerned with obtaining bounds on the number of eigenvalues of $L$ in subsets of the complement of the essential spectrum of $L_0$, in terms of the approximation numbers of the perturbing operator $K$. Our results can be considered as wide generalizations of classical results on the distribution of eigenvalues of compact operators, which correspond to the case $L_0=0$. They also extend previous results on operators in Hilbert space. Our method employs complex analysis and a new finite-dimensional reduction, allowing us to avoid using the existing theory of determinants in Banach spaces, which would require strong restrictions on $K$. Several open questions regarding the sharpness of our results are raised, and an example is constructed showing that there are some essential differences in the possible distribution of eigenvalues of operators in general Banach spaces, compared to the Hilbert space case.

This is an announcement for the paper "Splittings of extensions of the algebra of bounded operators on a space" by Niels Jakob Laustsen and Richard Skillicorn. Abstract: We show that there exist a Banach space E, a unital Banach algebra A with Jacobson radical rad A, and a continuous, surjective algebra homomorphism f from A onto the Banach algebra B(E) of bounded operators on E such that ker f = rad A and the corresponding extension {0} -> rad A -> A -> B(E) -> {0} is singular (in the sense that rad A has trivial multiplication) and splits algebraically, but it does not split strongly. This conclusion complements the work of Bade, Dales, and Lykova (Mem. Amer. Math. Soc. 1999). The Banach space E that we use is a quotient of the l_2-direct sum of an infinite sequence of James-type quasi-reflexive Banach spaces; it was originally introduced by Read (J. London Math. Soc. 1989).

This is an announcement for the paper "On $(p,r)$-null sequences and their relatives" by Kati Ain and Eve Oja. Abstract: Let $1\leq p < \infty$ and $1\leq r \leq p^\ast$, where $p^\ast$ is the conjugate index of $p$. We prove an omnibus theorem, which provides numerous equivalences for a sequence $(x_n)$ in a Banach space $X$ to be a $(p,r)$-null sequence. One of them is that $(x_n)$ is $(p,r)$-null if and only if $(x_n)$ is null and relatively $(p,r)$-compact. This equivalence is known in the ''limit'' case when $r=p^\ast$, the case of the $p$-null sequence and $p$-compactness. Our approach is more direct and easier than those applied for the proof of the latter result. We apply it also to characterize the unconditional and weak versions of $(p,r)$-null sequences.

This is an announcement for the paper "Isometries and Hermitian operators on Zygmund spaces" by Fernanda Botelho. Abstract: In this paper we characterize the isometries of subspaces of the little Zygmund space. We show that the isometries of these spaces are surjective and represented as integral operators. We also show that all hermitian operators on these settings are bounded.

This is an announcement for the paper "The angle of an operator and range and kernel complementarity" by Dimosthenis Drivaliaris and Nikos Yannakakis. Abstract: We show that if the angle of a bounded linear operator on a Banach space with closed range is less than $\pi$, then its range and kernel are complementary. We also show that in finite dimensions and up to rotations this simple geometric property characterizes operators for which range and kernel are complementary. For operators on a Hilbert space we present a sufficient condition, involving the distance of the boundary of the numerical range from the origin, for the range and the kernel to be complementary.

This is an announcement for the paper "The algebra of bounded linear operators on $\ell_p\oplus\ell_q$ has infinitely many closed ideals" by Thomas Schlumprecht and Andras Zsak. Abstract: We prove that in the reflexive range $1<p<q<\infty$ the algebra of all bounded linear operators on $\ell_p\oplus\ell_q$ has infinitely many closed ideals. This solves a problem raised by A. Pietsch in his book `Operator ideals'.
