This is an announcement for the paper "Regularity properties of sectorial
operators: counterexamples and open problems" by Stephan Fackler.
Abstract: We give a survey on the different regularity properties of
sectorial operators on Banach spaces. We present the main results and
open questions in the theory and then concentrate on the known methods
to construct various counterexamples.

This is an announcement for the paper "A common fixed point theorem for
a commuting family of weak$^{\ast }$ continuous nonexpansive mappings"
by Slawomir Borzdynski and Andrzej Wisnicki.
Abstract: It is shown that if $S$ is a commuting family of weak$^{\ast
}$ continuous nonexpansive mappings acting on a weak$^{\ast }$ compact
convex subset $C$ of the dual Banach space $E$, then the set of common
fixed points of $S$ is a nonempty nonexpansive retract of $C$. This
partially solves a long-standing open problem in metric fixed point
theory in the case of commutative semigroups.

This is an announcement for the paper "Sur quelques extensions au cadre
Banachique de la notion d'op\'erateur de Hilbert-Schmidt" by Said
Amana Abdillah, Jean Esterle, and Bernhard Hermann Haak.
Abstract: In this work we discuss several ways to extend to the context
of Banach spaces the notion of Hilbert-Schmidt operators: $p$-summing
operators, $\gamma$-summing or $\gamma$-radonifying operators, weakly
$*1$-nuclear operators and classes of operators defined via factorization
properties. We introduce the class $PS_2(E; F)$ of pre-Hilbert-Schmidt
operators as the class of all operators $u:E\to F$ such that $w\circ
u \circ v$ is Hilbert-Schmidt for every bounded operator $v: H_1\to E$
and every bounded operator $w:F\to H_2$, where $H_1$ et $H_2$ are Hilbert
spaces. Besides the trivial case where one of the spaces $E$ or $F$ is a
"Hilbert-Schmidt space", this space seems to have been described only in
the easy situation where one of the spaces $E$ or $F$ is a Hilbert space.

This is an announcement for the paper "$\aleph$-injective Banach spaces
and $\aleph$-projective compacta" by Antonio Aviles, Felix Cabello
Sanchez, Jesus M. F. Castillo, Manuel Gonzalez and Yolanda Moreno.
Abstract: A Banach space $E$ is said to be injective if for every Banach
space $X$ and every subspace $Y$ of $X$ every operator $t:Y\to E$ has an
extension $T:X\to E$. We say that $E$ is $\aleph$-injective (respectively,
universally $\aleph$-injective) if the preceding condition holds for
Banach spaces $X$ (respectively $Y$) with density less than a given
uncountable cardinal $\aleph$. We perform a study of $\aleph$-injective
and universally $\aleph$-injective Banach spaces which extends the basic
case where $\aleph=\aleph_1$ is the first uncountable cardinal. When
dealing with the corresponding ``isometric'' properties we arrive to our
main examples: ultraproducts and spaces of type $C(K)$. We prove that
ultraproducts built on countably incomplete $\aleph$-good ultrafilters
are $(1,\aleph)$-injective as long as they are Lindenstrauss spaces. We
characterize $(1,\aleph)$-injective $C(K)$ spaces as those in which the
compact $K$ is an $F_\aleph$-space (disjoint open subsets which are the
union of less than $\aleph$ many closed sets have disjoint closures)
and we uncover some projectiveness properties of $F_\aleph$-spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "Complex interpolation and twisted
twisted Hilbert spaces" by Felix Cabello Sanchez, Jesus M. F. Castillo
and Nigel J. Kalton.
Abstract: We show that Rochberg's generalizared interpolation spaces
$\mathscr Z^{(n)}$ arising from analytic families of Banach spaces
form exact sequences $0\to \mathscr Z^{(n)} \to \mathscr Z^{(n+k)} \to
\mathscr Z^{(k)} \to 0$. We study some structural properties of those
sequences; in particular, we show that nontriviality, having strictly
singular quotient map, or having strictly cosingular embedding depend
only on the basic case $n=k=1$. If we focus on the case of Hilbert
spaces obtained from the interpolation scale of $\ell_p$ spaces, then
$\mathscr Z^{(2)}$ becomes the well-known Kalton-Peck $Z_2$ space; we
then show that $\mathscr Z^{(n)}$ is (or embeds in, or is a quotient of)
a twisted Hilbert space only if $n=1,2$, which solves a problem posed
by David Yost; and that it does not contain $\ell_2$ complemented unless
$n=1$. We construct another nontrivial twisted sum of $Z_2$ with itself
that contains $\ell_2$ complemented.

This is an announcement for the paper "Stability of low-rank matrix
recovery and its connections to Banach space geometry" by Javier Alejandro
Chavez-Dominguez and Denka Kutzarova.
Abstract: There are well-known relationships between compressed sensing
and the geometry of the finite-dimensional $\ell_p$ spaces. A result
of Kashin and Temlyakov can be described as a characterization of the
stability of the recovery of sparse vectors via $\ell_1$-minimization
in terms of the Gelfand widths of certain identity mappings between
finite-dimensional $\ell_1$ and $\ell_2$ spaces, whereas a more recent
result of Foucart, Pajor, Rauhut and Ullrich proves an analogous
relationship even for $\ell_p$ spaces with $p < 1$. In this paper we
prove what we call matrix or noncommutative versions of these results:
we characterize the stability of low-rank matrix recovery via Schatten
$p$-(quasi-)norm minimization in terms of the Gelfand widths of certain
identity mappings between finite-dimensional Schatten $p$-spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "Lipschitz $p$-convex and
$q$-concave maps" by Javier Alejandro Chavez-Dominguez.
Abstract: The notions of $p$-convexity and $q$-concavity are
mostly known because of their importance as a tool in the study of
isomorphic properties of Banach lattices, but they also play a role
in several results involving linear maps between Banach spaces and
Banach lattices. In this paper we introduce Lipschitz versions of these
concepts, dealing with maps between metric spaces and Banach lattices,
and start by proving nonlinear versions of two well-known factorization
theorems through $L_p$ spaces due to Maurey/Nikishin and Krivine. We also
show that a Lipschitz map from a metric space into a Banach lattice is
Lipschitz $p$-convex if and only if its linearization is $p$-convex.
Furthermore, we elucidate why there is such a close relationship
between the linear and nonlinear concepts by proving characterizations
of Lipschitz $p$-convex and Lipschitz $q$-concave maps in terms of
factorizations through $p$-convex and $q$-concave Banach lattices,
respectively, in the spirit of the work of Raynaud and Tradacete.
