This is an announcement for the paper "A weak Hilbert space with few symmetries" by Spiros A. Argyros, Kevin Beanland, and Theocharis Raikoftsalis. Abstract: We construct a weak Hilbert Banach space such that for every block subspace $Y$ every bounded linear operator on Y is of the form D+S where S is a strictly singular operator and D is a diagonal operator. We show that this yields a weak Hilbert space whose block subspaces are not isomorphic to any of their proper subspaces.
