This is an announcement for the paper "Constructing Banach ideals using
upper $\ell_p$-estimates" by Ben Wallis.
Abstract: Using upper $\ell_p$-estimates for normalized weakly
null sequence images, we describe a new family of operator ideals
$\mathcal{WD}_{\ell_p}^{(\infty,\xi)}$ with parameters $1\leq p\leq\infty$
and $1\leq\xi\leq\omega_1$. These classes contain the completely
continuous operators, and are distinct for all choices $1\leq p\leq\infty$
and, when $p\neq 1$, for all choices $\xi\neq\omega_1$. For the case
$\xi=1$, there exists an ideal norm $\|\cdot\|_{(p,1)}$ on the class
$\mathcal{WD}_{\ell_p}^{(\infty,1)}$ under which it forms a Banach ideal.

This is an announcement for the paper "Borel equivalence relations in
the space of bounded operators" by Iian B. Smythe.
Abstract: We consider various notions of equivalence in the space
of bounded operators on a Hilbert space, including modulo finite
rank operators, modulo Schatten $p$-classes, and modulo compact
operators. Using Hjorth's theory of turbulence, the latter two are
shown to be not classifiable by countable structures, while the first
cannot be reduced to the orbit equivalence relation of any Polish group
action. The results for modulo finite rank and modulo compact operators
are also shown for the restrictions of these equivalence relations to the
space of projection operators. Families of non-classifiable equivalence
relations on sequence spaces are described and utilized in these results.

This is an announcement for the paper "A conjecture on the
characterisation of inner product spaces" by Kallol Paul, Debmalya Sain
and Lokenath Debnath.
Abstract: We study the properties of strongly orthonormal Hamel basis in
the sense of Birkhoff-James in a finite dimensional real normed linear
space that are analogous to the properties of orthonormal basis in
an inner product space. We relate the notion of strongly orthonormal
Hamel basis in the sense of Birkhoff-James with the notions of best
approximation and best coapproximation in a finite dimensional real normed
linear space. We prove that the existence of best coapproximation to any
element of the normed linear space out of any one dimensional subspace
and its coincidence with the best approximation to that element out of
that subspace characterises a real inner product space of dimension( >
2). Finally we conjecture that a finite dimensional real smooth normed
space of dimension ($>2$) is an inner product space iff given any element
on the unit sphere there exists a strongly orthonormal Hamel basis in
the sense of Birkhoff-James containing that element.

This is an announcement for the paper "Consequences of the
Marcus/Spielman/Stivastava solution to the Kadison-Singer Problem"
by Peter G. Casazza.
Abstract: It is known that the famous, intractible 1959 Kadison-Singer
problem in $C^{*}$-algebras is equivalent to fundamental unsolved problems
in a dozen areas of research in pure mathematics, applied mathematics and
Engineering. The recent surprising solution to this problem by Marcus,
Spielman and Srivastava was a significant achievement and a significant
advance for all these areas of research.
We will look at many of the known equivalent forms of the Kadison-Singer
Problem and see what are the best new theorems available in each
area of research as a consequence of the work of Marcus, Spielman and
Srivastave. In the cases where {\it constants} are important for the
theorem, we will give the best constants available in terms of a {\it
generic constant} taken from \cite{MSS}. Thus, if better constants
eventually become available, it will be simple to adapt these new
constants to the theorems.

This is an announcement for the paper "An extension of James's compactness
theorem" by Ioannis Gasparis.
Abstract: Let X and Y be Banach spaces and F a subset of B_{Y^*}. Endow
Y with the topology \tau_F of pointwise convergence on F. Let T: X^* \to
Y be a bounded linear operator which is (w^*, \tau_F) continuous. Assume
that every vector in the range of T attains its norm at an element of
F. Then it is proved that T is (w^*,w) continuous.

This is an announcement for the paper "On smoothness of quasihyperbolic
balls" by Riku Klen, Antti Rasila, and Jarno Talponen.
Abstract: We investigate properties of quasihyperbolic balls and
geodesics in Euclidean and Banach spaces. Our main result is that in
uniformly smooth Banach spaces a quasihyperbolic ball of a convex domain
is $C^1$-smooth. The question about the smoothness of quasihyperbolic
balls is old, originating back to the discussions of F.W. Gehring and
M. Vuorinen in 1970's. To our belief, the result is new also in the
Euclidean setting. We also address some other issues involving the
smoothness of quasihyperbolic balls.
We introduce an interesting application of quasihyperbolic metrics to
renormings of Banach spaces. To provide a useful tool for this approach
we turn our attention to the variational stability of quasihyperbolic
geodesics. Several examples and illustrations are provided.

This is an announcement for the paper "Geometric duality theory of cones
in dual pairs of vector spaces" by Miek Messerschmidt.
Abstract: This paper will generalize what may be termed the ``geometric
duality theory'' of real pre-ordered Banach spaces which relates
geometric properties of a closed cone in a real Banach space, to
geometric properties of the dual cone in the dual Banach space. We show
that geometric duality theory is not restricted to real pre-ordered
Banach spaces, as is done classically, but can naturally extended to
real Banach spaces endowed with arbitrary collections of closed cones.
We define geometric notions of normality, conormality, additivity and
coadditivity for members of dual pairs of real vector spaces as certain
possible interactions between two cones and two convex convex sets
containing zero. We show that, thus defined, these notions are dual
to each other under certain conditions, i.e., for a dual pair of real
vector spaces $(Y,Z)$, the space $Y$ is normal (additive) if and only if
its dual $Z$ is conormal (coadditive) and vice versa. These results are
set up in a manner so as to provide a framework to prove results in the
geometric duality theory of cones in real Banach spaces. As an example
of using this framework, we generalize classical duality results for
real Banach spaces pre-ordered by a single closed cone, to real Banach
spaces endowed with an arbitrary collections of closed cones.
As an application, we analyze some of the geometric properties of
naturally occurring cones in C*-algebras and their duals.

This is an announcement for the paper "On rectangular constant in normed
linear spaces" by Kallol Paul, Puja Ghosh, and Debmalya Sain.
Abstract: We study the properties of rectangular constant $
\mu(\mathbb{X}) $ in a normed linear space $\mathbb{X}$. We prove that
$ \mu(\mathbb{X}) = 3$ iff the unit sphere contains a straight line
segment of length 2. In fact, we prove that the rectangular modulus
attains its upper bound iff the unit sphere contains a straight line
segment of length 2.
We prove that if the dimension of the space $\mathbb{X}$ is finite then
$\mu(\mathbb{X})$ is attained. We also prove that a normed linear space
is an inner product space iff we have sup$\{\frac{1+|t|}{\|y+tx\|}$:
$x,y \in S_{\mathbb{X}}$ with $x\bot_By\} \leq \sqrt{2}$ $\forall t$
satisfying $|t|\in (3-2\sqrt{2},\sqrt{2}+1)$.
