    BANACH SPACES DETERMINED BY THEIR UNIFORM STRUCTURES + + by William B. Johnson*†‡, Joram Lindenstrauss‡ , and Gideon Schechtman‡ Dedicated to the memory of E. Gorelik Abstract Following results of Bourgain and Gorelik we show that the spaces ℓp, 1 < p < ∞, as well as some related spaces have the following uniqueness property: If X is a Banach space uniformly homeomorphic to one of these spaces then it is linearly isomorphic to the same space. We also prove that if a C(K) space is uniformly homeomorphic to c0, then it is isomorphic to c0. We show also that there are Banach spaces which are uniformly homeomorphic to exactly 2 isomorphically distinct spaces. arXiv:math/9701203v1 [math.FA] 17 Jan 1997 Subject classification: 46B20, 54Hxx.

Introduction The first result in the subject we study is the Mazur-Ulam theorem which says that an isometry from one Banach space onto another which takes the origin to the origin must be linear. This result, which is nontrivial only when the Banach spaces are not strictly convex, means that the structure of a Banach space as a metric space determines the linear structure up to translation. On the other hand, the structure of an infinite dimensional Banach space as a topological space gives no information about the linear structure of the space [Kad], [Tor].

RAWLINGS Mayor of Dallas November 11, 2018 Supercomputing – SC18 Conference: As Mayor of Dallas, it is my pleasure to welcome SC18 – the ultimate international conference for high performance computing, networking, storage, and analysis – to the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center! I applaud SC18 for bringing together high-performance computing (HPC) professionals and students from across the globe to share ideas, attend and participate in technical presentations, papers and workshops, all while inspiring the next generation of HPC professionals. Dallas is the No. 1 visitor destination in Texas and one of the top cities in the nation for meetings and conventions. In addition to having the resources to host major events and conventions, Dallas is a greatly diverse American city and a melting pot of cultures. This important convergence of uniqueness and differences is reflected throughout the sights and sounds of our city. Dallas' authentic arts, music, food, historic landmarks and urban lifestyle all contribute to the city's rich cultural makeup. Let the bold, vibrant spirit of Dallas, with a touch of Texas charm, guide the way to your BIG Dallas moments. Our city is filled with the unique experiences one can only have in Dallas – from cuisine by celebrity chefs, to the cultural landscape in one of the nation’s largest arts districts, to first-class shopping - make the most of your time in our great city! From transportation to hotels, restaurants, retail and entertainment venues, Dallas is ready to roll out our red carpet to host SC18.

  • Professor Joram Lindenstrauss
    Professor Joram Lindenstrauss Joram was born in 1936 to Ilse and Bruno Lindenstrauss, lawyers who immigrated to Palestine from Germany in 1933. He started to study mathematics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1954, in parallel with his military service. He received his Master's degree in 1959 and his Ph.D. in 1962, for a thesis on extensions of compact operators written under the guidance of Aryeh Dvoretzky and Branko Gruenbaum. He did postdoctoral research at Yale University and the University of Washington in Seattle from 1962 to 1965. In 1965 he returned to the Hebrew University as senior lecturer and this was where he worked, except for sabbaticals, until his death. He became an associate professor in 1967, a full professor in 1969, and the Leon H. and Ada G. Miller Memorial Professor of Mathematics in 1985. Twelve mathematicians received the Ph.D. under his guidance. He wrote 124 articles and seven research books, the last of which appeared a short time before his death. The two volumes on Banach Spaces which he wrote with Lior Tzafriri are considered fundamental books in the field. He also wrote four textbooks in Hebrew. Two were written with Amnon Pazy and Benjamin Weiss after the Yom Kippur War to help the students who were absent from their studies because of their military service, and were dedicated to the students of the mathematics department who fell in that war. Beyond his own research, it was important for Joram to promote the Institute of Mathematics at the Hebrew University and mathematical research in Israel.
