The inequality $ʃlog|\sum a_n{e}^{2\pi i{\phi }_n}|d{\phi }_1\dots d{\phi }_n\ge Clog\left(\sum \right|a_n{{|}^2)}^{1/2}$ with an absolute constant C, and similar ones, are extended to the case of $a_n$ belonging to an arbitrary normed space X and an arbitrary compact group of unitary operators on X instead of the operators of multiplication by $e^{2\pi i\phi }$.

In stochastic partial differential equations it is important to have pathwise regularity properties of stochastic convolutions. In this note we present a new sufficient condition for the pathwise continuity of stochastic convolutions in Banach spaces.

For a bounded operator T on a separable infinite-dimensional Banach space X, we give a "random" criterion not involving ergodic theory which implies that T is frequently hypercyclic: there exists a vector x such that for every non-empty open subset U of X, the set of integers n such that Tⁿx belongs to U, has positive lower density. This gives a connection between two different methods for obtaining the frequent hypercyclicity of operators.

Spherical designs constitute sets of points distributed on spheres in a regular way. They can be used to construct finite-dimensional normed spaces which are extreme in some sense: having large projection constants, big or small Banach-Mazur distance to Hilbert spaces or ${\ell }_p$-spaces. These examples provide concrete illustrations of results obtained by more powerful probabilistic techniques which, however, do not exhibit explicit examples. We give a survey of such constructions where the geometric invariants...
