This is an announcement for the paper "Almost disjointness preservers" by Timur Oikhberg and Pedro Tradacete. Abstract: We study the stability of disjointness preservers on Banach lattices. In many cases, we prove that an ``almost disjointness preserving'' operator is well approximable by a disjointess preserving one. However, this approximation is not always possible, as our examples show.
