Subject: Abstract of a paper by B. Klartag
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "An isomorphic version of the
slicing problem" by B. Klartag.


Abstract: Here we show that any n-dimensional centrally symmetric convex
body K has an n-dimensional perturbation T which is convex and centrally
symmetric, such that the isotropic constant of T is universally bounded. T
is close to K in the sense that the Banach-Mazur distance between T
and K is O(log n). If K has a non-trivial type then the distance is
universally bounded. In addition, if K is quasi-convex then there exists
a quasi-convex T with a universally bounded isotropic constant and with
a universally bounded distance to K.

This is an announcement for the paper "$H^1$-projective Banach spaces"
by Omran Kouba.


Abstract: We study the $H^1$-projective Banach spaces. We prove that
they have the Analytic Radon-Nikodym Property, and that they are cotype
2 spaces which satisfy Grothendieck's Theorem. We show also that the
ultraproduct of $H^1$-projective spaces is $H^1$-projective. Other
results are also discussed.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the interpolation of injective
or projective tensor products of  Banach spaces" by Omran Kouba.


Abstract: We prove a general result on the factorization of matrix-valued
analytic functions. We deduce that if $(E_0,E_1)$ and $(F_0,F_1)$ are
interpolation pairs with dense intersections, then under some conditions
on the spaces $E_0$, $E_1$, $F_0$ and $F_1$, we have $$ [E_0\hat\otimes
F_0,E_1\hat\otimes F_1]_t= [E_0 ,E_1]_t\hat\otimes[F_0 ,F_1]_t, 0 <
t< 1.$$
  We find also conditions on the spaces $E_0$, $E_1$, $F_0$ and $F_1$,
  so that
the following holds $$ [E_0\wcheck\otimes F_0,E_1\wcheck\otimes F_1]_t=
[E_0,E_1]_t\wcheck\otimes [F_0,F_1]_t, 0 <t< 1.$$
  Some applications of these results are also considered.

This is an announcement for the paper "An analogue of the Fuglede formula
in integral geometry on matrix spaces" by E.Ournycheva and B.Rubin.


Abstract: The well known formula of B. Fuglede expresses the mean value
of the Radon k-plane transform on $R^n$ as a Riesz potential. We extend
this formula to the space of $n \times m$ real matrices and show that
the corresponding matrix k-plane transform $f \to \hat f$ is injective
if and only if
 $n-k \ge m$. Different inversion formulas for this transform are
 obtained. We
assume that $f \in L^p$ or $f$ is a continuous function satisfying certain
"minimal" conditions at infinity.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Joram Lindenstrauss and David Preiss
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "On Fr\'echet differentiability
of Lipschitz maps between Banach spaces" by Joram Lindenstrauss and
David Preiss.


Abstract: A well-known open question is whether every countable collection
of Lipschitz functions on a Banach space X with separable dual has a
common point of Frechet differentiability. We show that the answer is
positive for some infinite-dimensional X. Previously, even for collections
consisting of two functions this has been known for finite-dimensional X
only (although for one function the answer is known to be affirmative
in full generality). Our aims are achieved by introducing a new
class of null sets in Banach spaces (called $\Gamma$-null sets),
whose definition involves both the notions of category and measure,
and showing that the required differentiability holds almost everywhere
with respect to it. We even obtain existence of Fr\'echet derivatives
of Lipschitz functions between certain infinite-dimensional Banach
spaces;no such results have been known previously. Our main result
states that a Lipschitz map between separable Banach spaces is Fr\'echet
differentiable $\Gamma$-almost everywhere provided that it is regularly
Gateaux differentiable $\Gamma$-almost everywhere and the Gateaux
derivatives stay within a norm separable space of operators. It is
easy to see that Lipschitz maps of X to spaces with the Radon-Nikodym
property are Gateaux differentiable $\Gamma$-almost everywhere. Moreover,
Gateaux differentiability implies regular Gateaux differentiability with
exception of another kind of negligible sets, so-called $\sigma$-porous
sets. The answer to the question is therefore positive in every space
in which every $\sigma$-porous set is $\Gamma$-null. We show that this
holds for $C(K)$ with $K$ countable compact, the Tsirelson space and
for all subspaces of $c_0$, but that it fails for Hilbert spaces.

Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "A classification for 2-isometries
of noncommutative Lp-spaces" by Marius Junge, Zhong-Jin Ruan and David
Sherman.


Abstract: In this paper we extend previous results of Banach, Lamperti
and Yeadon on isometries of Lp-spaces to the non-tracial case first
introduced by Haagerup.  Specifically, we use operator space techniques
and an extrapolation argument to prove that every 2-isometry T : Lp(M)
to Lp(N) between arbitrary noncommutative Lp-spaces can always be written
in the form T(phi^{1/p}) = w (phi circ pi^{-1} circ E)^{1/p}, for phi
in M_*^+. Here pi is a normal *-isomorphism from M onto the von Neumann
subalgebra pi(M) of N, w is a partial isometry in N, and E is a normal
conditional expectation from N onto pi(M). As a consequence of this,
any 2-isometry is automatically a complete isometry and has completely
contractively complemented range.

This is an announcement for the paper "Weakly null sequences in the

Abstract: The hierarchy of the block bases of transfinite normalized
averages of a normalized Schauder basic sequence is introduced and a
criterion is given for a normalized weakly null sequence in C(K), the
Banach space of scalar valued functions continuous on the compact metric
space K, to admit a block basis of normalized averages equivalent to the
unit vector basis of c_0, the Banach space of null scalar sequences. As
an application of this criterion, it is shown that every normalized
weakly null sequence in C(K), for countable K, admits a block basis of
normalized averages equivalent to the unit vector basis of c_0.

This is an announcement for the paper "Non-commutative Khintchine type
inequalities associated with free groups" by Javier Parcet and Gilles
Pisier.


Abstract: Let Fn denote the free group with n generators g1,g2,..,gn. Let
$\lambda$ stand for the left regular representation of Fn and let $\tau$
be the standard trace associated to $\lambda$. Given any positive integer
d, we study the operator space structure of the subspace Wp(n,d) of
Lp(\tau) generated by the family of operators $\lambda(g_{i_1}g_{i_2}
... g_{i_d})$ with $1 \le i_k \le n$. Moreover, our description of this
operator space holds up to a constant which does not depend on n or p,
so that our result remains valid for infinitely many generators. We
also consider the subspace of L_p(\tau) generated by the image under
$\lambda$ of the set of reduced words of length d.  Our result extends
to any exponent $1 \le p \le \infty$ a previous result of Buchholz for
the space $W_{\infty}(n,d)$.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Marius Junge and Javier Parcet
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "The norm of sums of independent
non-commutative random variables in   $L_p(\ell_1)$" by Marius Junge
and Javier Parcet.


Abstract: We investigate the norm of sums of independent vector-valued
random variables in non-commutative Lp spaces. This allows us to obtain
a uniform family of complete embeddings of the Schatten class Sq^n
in Sp(lq^m) with optimal order m=n^2. Using these embeddings we show
the surprising fact that the sharp type (cotype) index in the sense of
operator spaces for Lp[0,1] is min(p,p') (max(p,p')). Similar techniques
are used to show that the operator space notions of B-convexity and
K-convexity are equivalent.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Gilles Pisier
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "Completely bounded maps into
certain Hilbertian operator spaces" by Gilles Pisier.


Abstract: We prove a factorization of completely bounded maps from
a $C^*$-algebra $A$ (or an exact operator space $E\subset A$) to
$\ell_2$ equipped with the operator space structure of $(C,R)_\theta$
($0<\theta<1$) obtained by complex interpolation between the column and
row Hilbert spaces. More precisely, if $F$ denotes $\ell_2$ equipped with
the operator space structure of $(C,R)_\theta$, then $u:\ A \to F$ is
completely bounded iff there are states $f,g$ on $A$ and $C>0$ such that
\[ \forall a\in A\quad \|ua\|^2\le C f(a^*a)^{1-\theta}g(aa^*)^{\theta}.\]
This extends the case $\theta=1/2$ treated in a recent paper with
Shlyakhtenko. The constants we obtain tend to 1 when $\theta \to 0$
or $\theta\to 1$. We use analogues of ``free Gaussian" families in non
semifinite von Neumann algebras. As an application, we obtain that, if
$0<\theta<1$, $(C,R)_\theta$ does not embed completely isomorphically into
the predual of a semifinite von Neumann algebra. Moreover, we characterize
the subspaces $S\subset R\oplus C$ such that the dual operator space $S^*$
embeds (completely isomorphically) into $M_*$ for some semifinite von
neumann algebra $M$: the only possibilities are $S=R$, $S=C$, $S=R\cap C$
and direct sums built out of these three spaces. We also discuss when
$S\subset R\oplus C$ is injective, and give a simpler proof of a result
due to Oikhberg on this question. In the appendix, we present a proof
of Junge's theorem that $OH$ embeds completely isomorphically into
a non-commutative $L_1$-space. The main idea is similar to Junge's,
but we base the argument on complex interpolation and Shlyakhtenko's
generalized circular systems (or ``generalized free Gaussian"), which
somewhat unifies Junge's ideas with those of our work with Shlyakhtenko.

This is an announcement for the paper "Integer cells in convex sets"
by Roman Vershynin.


Abstract: Every convex body K in R^n admits a coordinate projection PK
that contains at least vol(0.1 K) cells of the integer lattice PZ^n,
provided this volume is at least one. Our proof of this counterpart
of Minkowski's theorem is based on an extension of the combinatorial
density theorem of Sauer, Shelah and Vapnik-Chervonenkis to Z^n. This
leads to a new approach to sections of convex bodies.In particular,
fundamental results of the asymptotic convex geometry such as the Volume
Ratio Theorem and Milman's duality of the diameters admit natural versions
for coordinate sections.

This is an announcement for the paper "Ramsey and Nash-Williams
combinatorics via Schreier families" by Vassiliki Farmaki.


Abstract: The main results of this paper (a) extend the finite Ramsey
partition theorem, and (b) employ this extension to obtain a stronger
form of the infinite Nash-Williams partition theorem, and also a new
proof of Ellentuck's, and hence Galvin-Prikry's partition theorem. The
proper tool for this unification of the classical partition theorems at
a more general and stronger level is the system of Schreier families
$({\cal A}_{\xi})$ of finite subsets of the set of natural numbers,
defined for every countable ordinal $\xi$.

This is an announcement for the paper "The numerical radius Haagerup
norm and Hilbert space square  factorizations" by Takashi Itoh and
Masaru Nagisa.


Abstract: We study a factorization of bounded linear maps from an operator
space $A$ to its dual space $A^*$. It is shown that $T : A \longrightarrow
A^*$ factors through a pair of a column Hilbert spaces $\mathcal{H}_c$
and its dual space if and only if $T$ is a bounded linear form on $A
\otimes A$ by the canonical identification equipped with a numerical
radius type Haagerup norm. As a consequence, we characterize a bounded
linear map from a Banach space to its dual space, which factors through
a pair of Hilbert spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "Combinatorics of random processes
and sections of convex bodies" by Mark Rudelson and Roman Vershynin.


Abstract: We find a sharp combinatorial bound for the metric entropy
of sets in R^n and general classes of functions. This solves two basic
combinatorial conjectures on the empirical processes.
  1. A class of functions satisfies the uniform Central Limit Theorem
  if the
square root of its combinatorial dimension is integrable.
  2. The uniform entropy is equivalent to the combinatorial dimension
  under
minimal regularity. Our method also constructs a nicely bounded coordinate
section of a symmetric convex body in R^n. In the operator theory, this
essentially proves for all normed spaces the restricted invertibility
principle of Bourgain and Tzafriri.

This is an announcement for the paper "The fixed point property for a
class of nonexpansive maps in   L\sp\infty(\Omega,\Sigma,\mu)" by Cleon
S. Barroso.


Abstract: For a finite and positive measure space $(\Omega,\Sigma,\mu)$
and any weakly compact convex subset of $L\sp\infty(\Omega,\Sigma,mu)$,
a fixed point theorem for a class of nonexpansive self-mappings is
proved. An analogous result is obtained for the space $C(\Omega)$. An
illustrative example is given.

This is an announcement for the paper "Metric spaces with linear
extensions preserving Lipschitz condition" by A. Brudnyi and Yu. Brudnyi.


Abstract: We study a new bi-Lipschitz invariant \lambda(M) of a metric
space M; its finiteness means that Lipschitz functions on an arbitrary
subset of M can be linearly extended to functions on M whose Lipschitz
constants are enlarged by a factor controlled by \lambda(M). We prove
that \lambda(M) is finite for several important classes of metric
spaces. These include metric trees of arbitrary cardinality, groups
of polynomial growth, some groups of exponential growth and certain
classes of Riemannian manifolds of bounded geometry. On the other hand
we construct an example of a Riemann surface M of bounded geometry for
which \lambda(M)=\infty.

Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "Coarse embeddings of metric spaces
into Hilbert spaces" by Piotr W. Nowak.


Abstract: There are several characterizations of coarse embeddability
of a discrete metric space into a Hilbert space. In this note we give
such characterizations for general metric spaces. By applying these
results to the spaces $L_p(\mu)$, we get their coarse embeddability into
a Hilbert space for $0<p<2$. This together with a theorem by Banach and
Mazur yields that coarse embeddability into $\ell_2$ and into $L_p(0,1)$
are equivalent when $1 \le p<2$. A theorem by G.Yu and the above allow
to extend to $L_p(\mu)$, $0<p<2$, the range of spaces, coarse embedding
into which guarantees for a finitely generated group $\Gamma$ %(viewed
as a metric space) to satisfy the Novikov Conjecture.

This is an announcement for the paper "Isoperimetry of waists and local

Abstract: Existence of nicely bounded sections of two symmetric convex
bodies K and L implies that the intersection of random rotations of K
and L is nicely bounded.  For L = subspace, this main result immediately
yields the unexpected phenomenon: "If K has one nicely bounded section,
then most sections of K are nicely bounded". This 'existence implies
randomness' consequence was proved independently in [Giannopoulos,
Milman and Tsolomitis]. The main result represents a new connection
between thelocal asymptotic convex geometry (study of sections of K) and
the global asymptotic convex geometry (study K as a whole). The method
relies on the new 'isoperimetry of waists' on the sphere due to Gromov.

Next September, from the 20th to the 24th, the SECOND INTERNATIONAL
COURSE OF MATHEMATICAL ANALISIS IN ANDALUCIA will be held in Granada
(Spain). These courses are held every two years in an Andalusian
city, with the first being in Cádiz, in September 2002.  Our aim
is to give an extensive overview of new directions and advances in
Mathematical Analysis. Therefore the researcher is invited to get into
topics seen promising as guidelines for current and future research
in this interesting area of Mathematics. Leading researchers in the
area will provide us with a large variety of topics and open problems,
showing also some tools and techniques that have been helpful in similar
situations. In order to accomplish this goal, both seminars and one-hour
talks will be offered. While the one-hour talk are intended to provide
an overview on a variety of current topics, the seminars will extend
over several days and will therefore allow an in-depth discussion of
certain specific subjects. Moreover, all participants of the meeting
will have the opportunity to present new results of their research in
short communications.

The invited speakers of this Second Course are the following:

Richard M. Aron (Kent State University, USA)
Fernando Bombal  (Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain)
José Bonet,  (Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, Spai
Javier Duoandikoetxea  (Universidad del País Vasco, Spain)
Miguel de Guzmán  (Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain)(*)
Gilles Godefroy (U. Paris VI , France )
William B. Johnson (Texas A&M University, USA)
Nigel J. Kalton, (University of Missouri, USA)
Michael Neumann (Mississippi State University, USA)
Lawrence Narici (St. John's University, New York, USA)
Kristian Seip (Norwegian University of Sciences and Technology, Norway)
Manuel Valdivia (Universidad de Valencia, Spain)
Joan Verdera (Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona, Spain)
Felipe Zó (Universidad Nacional de San Luis, Argentina)

(*) We are very sorry to announce the death of Professor Miguel de
Guzman (1936-2004), on April 14, 2004. Professor Guzman held a Chair
in Mathematical Analysis at the Universidad  Complutense de Madrid and
was a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences. We had looked forward
very much to his participation, as a principal speaker at our meeting.
His guidance, leadership,  and wisdom will be very much missed.

The registration fee is 50 euros for students and 100 euros for all
others, provided this fee is paid before July 15th. After July 15, 2004,
the fee will be 100 euros for students and 120 euros others. A gala
dinner is included in this fee. To formalize the registration process,
participants need to complete the inscription form and also to pay
the inscription fee. The electronic version of the inscription form is
available in our web page:

http://www.ugr.es/local/amandal

where one can register on-line. Finally if you have problems to coming
into our web page please contact us.

Lodging is arranged by our Technical Secretary (Eurocongres  S.A.)
We have rooms in Students Residence Halls at 20 euros per single room
per night (subsidized fee) and four star hotels at 60.10 per room per
night (which is a special price for our University), with  breakfast
included. Both the Student Residence Halls and affiliated hotels are
located within walking distance to the meeting centre (the Faculty of
Science of the Universidad de Granada). We would like to advise you that
despite the fact that Granada has many hotels, the number of room we can
offer you to this special price is very limited. We therefore strongly
suggest that you make your reservation as soon as possible, especially
since September is still high season in Granada.  Student Residence and
hotel rooms will be assigned by strict reservation order and, after that,
we cannot guarantee these prices.

The scientific program will be complemented by some of the typical
attractions of Granada and its surroundings (of course, a visit to
the Alhambra is included!). These leisure activities will encourage
links of friendship that are so important for every professional group.
The Organizing Committee invites you to participate in this meeting with
the best wishes that you have a happy and fruitful stay here in Granada.



Yours sincerely.

This is an announcement for the paper "Estimates of disjoint sequences
in Banach lattices and r. i. function  spaces" by R. Gonzalo and
J. A. Jaramillo.


Abstract: We introduce UDSp-property (resp. UDTq-property) in Banach
lattices as the property that every normalized disjoint sequence has
a subsequence with an upper p-estimate (resp. lower q-estimate). In
the case of rearrangement invariant spaces, the relationships with Boyd
indices of the space are studied.  Some applications of these properties
are given to the high order smoothness of Banach lattices, in the sense
of the existence of differentiable bump functions.

(which is a special price for our University), with breakfast included. Both
the Student Residence Halls and affiliated hotels are located within walking
distance to the meeting centre (Faculty of Science of the University of
Granada). We would like to advise you that despite the fact that Granada has
many hotels, the number of rooms we can offer you to this special price is
very limited. We therefore strongly suggest that you make your reservation
as soon as possible, especially since September is still high season in
Granada. Student Residence and hotel rooms will be assigned by strict
reservation order and, after that, we cannot guarantee these prices.

The scientific program will be complemented by some of the typical
attractions of Granada and its surroundings (of course, a visit to the
Alhambra is included!). These leisure activities will encourage links of
friendship that are so important for every professional group.

The Organizing Committee invites you to participate in this meeting with the
best wishes that you have a happy and fruitful stay here, in Granada.

Yours sincerely,

Victoria Velasco (Coordinator)

This is an announcement for the paper "Fixed point theorems for
asymptotically contractive mappings" by Tomonari Suzuki.


Abstract: In this short paper, we prove fixed point theorems for
nonexpansive mappings whose domains are unbounded subsets of Banach
spaces. These theorems are generalizations of Penot's result in
[Proc. Amer. Math. Soc., 131 (2003), 2371--2377].

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Piotr Pucha{\l}a
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "Continuous version of the Choquet
integral reperesentation theorem" by Piotr Pucha{\l}a.


Abstract: The Choquet - Bishop - de Leeuw theorem states that each element
of a compact convex subset of a locally convex topological Hausdorff space
is a barycenter of a probability measure supported by the set of extreme
points of that set. By the Edgar - Mankiewicz result this remains true
for nonempty closed bounded and convex set provided it has Radon - Nikodym
property. In the paper it is shown, that Choquet - type theorem holds also
for "moving" sets: they are values of a certain multifunction. Namely, the
existence of a suitable weak* continuous family of probability measures
"almost representing" points of such sets is proven. Both compact and
noncompact cases are considered. The continuous versions of the Krein -
Milman theorem are obtained as corollaries.

This is an announcement for the paper "Some remarks on transportation
inequalities and the slicing problem" by Mark W. Meckes.


Abstract: We show that transportation cost inequalities can be used
to derive bounds for isotropic constants of convex bodies. We state
a conjecture about transportation costs (and discuss support for it)
which would have strong consequences for the slicing problem.

Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "On the extension of H\"{o}lder
maps with values in spaces of continuous functions" by Gilles Lancien
and Beata Randrianantoanina.


Abstract: We study the isometric extension problem for H\"{o}lder
maps from subsets of any Banach space into $c_0$ or into a space
of continuous functions. For a Banach space $X$, we prove that any
$\alpha$-H\"{o}lder map, with $0<\alpha\leq 1$, from a subset of $X$
into $c_0$ can be isometrically extended to $X$ if and only if $X$
is finite dimensional. For a finite dimensional normed space $X$ and
for a compact metric space $K$, we prove that the set of $\alpha$'s
for which all $\alpha$-H\"{o}lder maps from a subset of $X$ into $C(K)$
can be extended isometrically is either $(0,1]$ or $(0,1)$ and we give
examples of both occurrences. We also prove that for any metric space $X$,
the described above set of $\al$'s does not depend on $K$, but only on
finiteness of $K$.

Abstract: In this paper we extend the block combinatorics partition
theorems of Hindman and Milliken in the setting of the recursive system
of the block Schreier families (B^xi) consisting of families defined for
every countable ordinal xi.  Results contain (a) a block partition Ramsey
theorem for every countable ordinal xi (Hindman's theorem corresponding
to xi=1, and Milliken's theorem to xi a finite ordinal), (b) a countable
ordinal form of the block Nash-Williams partition theorem, and (c)
a countable ordinal block partition theorem for sets closed in the
infinite block analogue of Ellentuck's topology.

This is an announcement for the paper "Lusin's Theorem and Bochner
integration" by Peter A. Loeb and Erik Talvila.


Abstract: It is shown that the approximating functions used to define
the Bochner integral can be formed using geometrically nice sets, such as
balls, from a differentiation basis. Moreover, every appropriate sum of
this form will be within a preassigned $\varepsilon$ of the integral, with
the sum for the local errors also less than $\varepsilon$. All of this
follows from the ubiquity of Lebesgue points, which is a consequence of
Lusin's theorem, for which a simple proof is included in the discussion.

Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "The Busemann-Petty problem for
arbitrary measures" by Artem Zvavitch.


Abstract: The aim of this paper is to study properties of sections of
convex bodies with respect to different types of measures. We present
a formula connecting the Minkowski functional of a convex symmetric
body K with the measure of its sections. We apply this formula to study
properties of general measures most of which were known before only in
the case of the standard Lebesgue measure. We solve an analog of the
Busemann-Petty problem for the case of general measures.  In addition,
we show that there are measures, for which the answer to the generalized
Busemann-Petty problem is affirmative in all dimensions. Finally,
we apply the latter fact to prove a number of different inequalities
concerning the volume of sections of convex symmetric bodies in $\R^n$
and solve a version of generalized Busemann-Petty problem for sections
by k-dimensional subspaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "Some equivalence relations which

by Valentin Ferenczi and Eloi Medina Galego.


Abstract: We improve the known results about the complexity of the
relation of isomorphism between separable Banach spaces up to Borel
reducibility, and we achieve this using the classical spaces $c_0$,
$\ell_p$ and $L_p$, $1 \leq p <2$. More precisely, we show that
the relation $E_{K_{\sigma}}$ is Borel reducible to isomorphism and
complemented biembeddability between subspaces of $c_0$ or $\ell_p,
1 \leq p <2$. We show that the relation $E_{K_{\sigma}} \otimes =^+$
is Borel reducible to isomorphism, complemented biembeddability, and
Lipschitz equivalence between subspaces of $L_p, 1 \leq p <2$.

Ferenczi and Eloi Medina Galego.


Abstract: We construct a continuum of mutually non-isomorphic separable
Banach spaces which are complemented in each other. Consequently, the
Schroeder-Bernstein Index of any of these spaces is $2^{\aleph_0}$. Our
construction is based on a Banach space introduced by W. T. Gowers
and B. Maurey in 1997. We also use classical descriptive set theory
methods, as in some work of V. Ferenczi and C.  Rosendal, to improve some
results of P. G. Casazza and of N. J. Kalton on the Schroeder-Bernstein
Property for spaces with an unconditional finite-dimensional Schauder
decomposition.

Abstract: A Banach space contains either a minimal subspace or a

analytic equivalence relations are applied in the context of Banach
spaces to show that if $E_0$ does not reduce to isomorphism of the
subspaces of a space, in particular, if the subspaces of the space admit
a classification up to isomorphism by real numbers, then any subspace
with an unconditional basis is isomorphic to its square and hyperplanes
and has an isomorphically homogeneous subsequence.

Abstract: In this note we give sharp estimates on the volume of the set
of separable states on N qubits. In particular, the magnitude of the
"effective radius" of that set in the sense of volume is determined up
to a factor which is a (small) power of N, and thus precisely on the
scale of powers of its dimension.  Additionally, one of the appendices
contains sharp estimates (by known methods) for the expected values of
norms of the GUE random matrices. We employ standard tools of classical
convexity, high-dimensional probability and geometry of Banach spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "Duality of metric entropy" by

Abstract: For two convex bodies K and T in $R^n$, the covering number of K
by T, denoted N(K,T), is defined as the minimal number of translates of T
needed to cover K. Let us denote by $K^o$ the polar body of K and by D the
euclidean unit ball in $R^n$. We prove that the two functions of t, N(K,tD)
and N(D, tK^o), are equivalent in the appropriate sense, uniformly
over symmetric convex bodies K in $R^n$ and over positive integers n. In
particular, this verifies the duality conjecture for entropy numbers
of linear operators, posed by Pietsch in 1972, in the central case when
either the domain or the range of the operator is a Hilbert space.

This is an announcement for the paper "On convexified packing
and entropy duality" by S. Artstein, V. Milman, S. J. Szarek, and
N. Tomczak-Jaegermann.


Abstract: For a compact operator acting between two Banach spaces,
a 1972 duality conjecture due to Pietsch asserts that its entropy
numbers and those of its adjoint are equivalent. This is equivalent
to a dimension-free inequality relating covering (or packing) numbers
for convex bodies to those of their polars. The duality conjecture has
been recently proved (see math.FA/0407236) in the central case when one
of the Banach spaces is Hilbertian, which - in the geometric setting -
corresponds to a duality result for symmetric convex bodies in Euclidean
spaces. In the present paper we define a new notion of "convexified
packing," show a duality theorem for that notion, and use it to prove the
duality conjecture under much milder conditions on the spaces involved
(namely, that one of them is K-convex).

This is an announcement for the paper "Saturating constructions for
normed spaces" by Stanislaw J. Szarek and Nicole Tomczak-Jaegermann  .


Abstract: We prove several results of the following type: given finite
dimensional normed space V there exists another space X with
log(dim X) = O(log(dim V)) and such that every subspace (or quotient) of X,
whose dimension is not "too small," contains a further subspace isometric
to V. This sheds new light on the structure of such large subspaces or
quotients (resp., large sections or projections of convex bodies) and
allows to solve several problems stated in the 1980s by V. Milman. The
proofs are probabilistic and depend on careful analysis of images of
convex sets under Gaussian linear maps.

This is an announcement for the paper "Saturating constructions for
normed spaces II" by Stanislaw J. Szarek and Nicole Tomczak-Jaegermann.


Abstract: We prove several results of the following type: given finite
dimensional normed space V possessing certain geometric property there
exists another space X having the same property and such that
(1) log(dim X) = O(log(dim V)) and (2) every subspace of X, whose dimension
is not "too small," contains a further well-complemented subspace nearly
isometric to V. This sheds new light on the structure of large subspaces
or quotients of normed spaces (resp., large sections or linear images
of convex bodies) and provides definitive solutions to several problems
stated in the 1980s by V. Milman. The proofs are probabilistic and depend
on careful analysis of images of convex sets under Gaussian linear maps.

This is an announcement for the paper "The Daugavet property of
$C^*$-algebras, $JB^*$-triples, and of their isometric preduals"
by Julio Becerra-Guerrero and Miguel Martin.


Abstract: A Banach space $X$ is said to have the Daugavet property if
every rank-one operator $T:X\longrightarrow X$ satisfies $\|Id + T\|
= 1 + \|T\|$. We give geometric characterizations of this property
in the settings of $C^*$-algebras, $JB^*$-triples and their isometric
preduals. We also show that, in these settings, the Daugavet property
passes to ultrapowers, and thus, it is equivalent to an stronger property
called the uniform Daugavet property.
