June 12th, Tomasz Kochanek (IMPAN) 1115 room 105:
Bourgain's theorem characterizing non-Banach-Saks operators on C(K)-spaces
I will present the proof (or, at least, a detailed sketch of such) of Bourgain's theorem saying that a bounded linear
operator T: C(K) --> X fails to have the Banach-Saks property if and only it fixes (acts as an isomorphism on) some copy of C(ωω+).
The two main tools are: Alspach's theorem about equivalence between fixing a copy of C(ωω+) and the inequality
Sz(T) >= ω2 for the Szlenk index of T, and Rosenthal's dichotomy theorem about Cesaro summable sequences and spreading models
isomorphic to l1. I shall also explain the key role which is played here by C(ωω),
by recalling Schreier's proof of the fact that this space fails the Banach-Saks property.
May 8th, Przemysław Ohrysko (IMPAN) 1115 room 105:
On the spectra of measures
Abstract: Since the set of measures with natural spectrum is not closed under addition,
I will introduce new closed *subalgebra of M(T) which consists of "spectrally reasonable measures".
Next, I will show that Zafran's ideal belong to this class.
There are many intresting open questions related to this topic - for example: are discrete measures reasonable?

April 10, 2014 Lectures of Michael Megrelishvili
March 27, 2014, 1115, room 105: Cristobal Rodriguez (Paris 7):
Fragments of the paper "On isomorphisms of Banach spaces of continuous functions" (To appear in Israel J. Math)
by G. Plebanek will be presented. The paper contains new insights into the structure of the above isomorphisms
and embeddings of C(K)s.
March 20, 2014, 1115, room 408: Leandro Candido (USP/IM PAN):
A Banach-Stone type theorem by Cambern will be presented with the proof.
It says that if T is an ismorphism between C(K) and C(L) such that
||T||||T-1||<2, then K and L are homeomorphic.

During the next two meetings of the seminar I would like to present the relations between the Grothendieck property of Banach spaces and the Nikodym property of non-sigma-complete Boolean algebras. A Banach space X has the Grothendieck property (G) if every weak* null sequence in X* is weakly null. A Boolean algebra B has the Nikodym property (N) if every pointwise bounded sequence of finitely additive measures on B is uniformly bounded.
The plan is as follows. First, I will show what properties of Banach spaces are implied by (G) and what the most interesting examples of such spaces are. Especially, I focus on Banach spaces C(K) of continuous functions over some compact Hausdorff space K. The spaces with (G) in such a case naturally appear when K is a Stone space of a Boolean algebra with some additional property. E.g. the Grothendieck theorem states that C(K) has (G) when K is extremely disconnected, i.e. the Boolean algebra Clopen(K) of clopen subsets of K is complete. In case Clopen(K) is not complete, for C(K) to be Grothendieck we need some separation or interpolation properties of Clopen(K), e.g. Haydon's Subsequential Separation Property or Freniche's Subsequential Interpolation Property.
During the second lecture I will talk why the Nikodym property of Boolean algebras is important. I will show what separation or completeness properties of Boolean algebras cause them having (N). Finally, I plan to prove that the algebra of Jordan-measurable subsets of [0,1] has (N) but its C(K) lacks (G) (the result due to Schachermayer). This was the first example of such an algebra; now thanks to Graves and Wheeler we know more of them. However little is still known in the case of the opposite issue, i.e. whether there exists a Boolean algebra without (N) but such that its C(K) has (G) -- the only positive result in this matter is a difficult construction under CH due to Talagrand.
