Dear colleague, this is the last announcement of the Satellite conference of the world congress ICM2006:
Banach space theory: classical topics and new directions
The conference aim is to contemplate the topic of Banach spaces from an open and broader point of view; so, in addition to classical Banach space theory, related topics of active research have been included. There will be a special session on Polynomials on Banach spaces organized by R. Aron, D. García and M. Maestre. The main lines of the conference can thus be described as:
·Structure and geometry of infinite dimensional Banach and quasi-Banach spaces ·Infinite dimensional topology ·Asymptotic geometric analysis ·Categorical and homological methods ·Applications of descriptive set theory ·Polynomials on Banach spaces
The list of main speakers includes so far:
S. Argyros, National Technical University, Athens, Greece
J. Bastero, Universidad de Zaragoza, Zaragoza, Spain
F. Bombal, Universidad Complutense, Madrid, Spain
G. Godefroy, Université Paris 6, Paris, France

History of Banach Space Conferences. Since 1996, the Department of Mathematics of the University of Extremadura organizes, at even years, a Banach Spaces conferece in either Badajoz or Cáceres. The proceedings of Conferences I-IV have appeared in Extracta Mathematicae and can be found at http://www.unex.es/extracta/extracta.html. The proceedings of the V Conference will be published by the Cambridge University Press as a volume in the Lecture Notes Series of the London Mathematical Society.
