This is an announcement for the paper "The geometry of L^p-spaces over atomless measure spaces and the Daugavet property" by Enrique A. Sanchez Perez and Dirk Werner. Abstract: We show that $L^p$-spaces over atomless measure spaces can be characterized in terms of a $p$-concavity type geometric property that is related with the Daugavet property.
