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

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.

Abstract: In this paper we describe the surjective linear isometries on a
vector valued little Bloch space with range space a strictly convex and
smooth complex Banach space. We also describe the hermitian operators
and the generalized bi-circular projections supported by these spaces.

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'.
