A space with no unconditional basis that satisfies the Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma
We give the first example of a nontrivial twisted Hilbert space that satisfies the Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma. This space has no unconditional basis. We also show that such a space gives a partial answer to a question of Mascioni.

Centralizers on a super-reflexive Schatten ideal
We give a simple proof that there is no strictly singular bicentralizer on a super-reflexive Schatten ideal. This result applies, in particular, to the $p$-Schatten class for $1<p<\infty$.

A remark on the distortion of twisted sums
Odell and Schlumprecht solved the distortion problem by proving that the classic sequence spaces $\ell_p$ for $1<p<\infty$ admit an inevitable biorthogonal system. In particular, these spaces are arbitrarily distortable. Later, Maurey extended the result to asymptotic $\ell_p$-spaces while Tomczak-Jaegermann did likewise for the Schatten classes. We observe that the Kalton-Peck spaces $Z_p$ for $1<p<\infty$ admit an inevitable biorthogonal system. Therefore, we may add this classic family to the list of arbitrarily distortable spaces.

A universal formula for derivation operators and applications
We give a universal formula describing derivation operators on a Hilbert space for a large class of interpolation methods. It is based on a simple new technique on ``critical points" where all the derivations attain the maximum. We deduce from this a version of Kalton uniqueness theorem for such methods, in particular, for the real method. As an application of our ideas is the construction of a weak Hilbert space induced by the real $J$-method. Previously, such space was only known arising from the complex method. To complete the picture, we show, using a breakthrough of Johnson and Szankowski, nontrivial derivations whose values on the critical points grow to infinity as slowly as we wish.

The Kalton-Peck space as a spreading model
The so-called Kalton-Peck space $Z_2$ is a twisted Hilbert space induced, using complex interpolation, by $c_0$ or $\ell_p$ for any $1\leq p\neq 2<\infty$. Kalton and Peck developed a scheme of results for $Z_2$ showing that it is a very rigid space. For example, every normalized basic sequence in $Z_2$ contains a subsequence which is equivalent to either the Hilbert copy $\ell_2$ or the Orlicz space $\ell_M$. Recently, new examples of twisted Hilbert spaces, which are induced by asymptotic $\ell_p$-spaces, have appeared on the stage. Thus, our aim is to extend the Kalton-Peck theory of $Z_2$ to twisted Hilbert spaces $Z(X)$ induced by asymptotic $c_0$ or $\ell_p$-spaces $X$ for $1\leq p<\infty$. One of the novelties is to use spreading models to gain information on the isomorphic structure of the subspaces of a twisted Hilbert space. As a sample of our results, the only spreading models of $Z(X)$ are $\ell_2$ and $\ell_M$, whenever $X$ is as above and $p\neq 2$.

Some more twisted Hilbert spaces
We provide three new examples of twisted Hilbert spaces by considering properties that are "close" to Hilbert. We denote them $Z(\mathcal J)$, $Z(\mathcal S^2)$ and $Z(\mathcal T_s^2)$. The first space is asymptotically Hilbertian but not weak Hilbert. On the opposite side, $Z(\mathcal S^2)$ and $Z(\mathcal T_s^2)$ are not asymptotically Hilbertian. Moreover, the space $Z(\mathcal T_s^2)$ is a HAPpy space and the technique to prove it gives a "twisted" version of a theorem of Johnson and Szankowski (Ann. of Math. 176:1987--2001, 2012). This is, we can construct a nontrivial twisted Hilbert space such that the isomorphism constant from its $n$-dimensional subspaces to $\ell_2^n$ grows to infinity as slowly as we wish when $n\to \infty$.

Twisting non-commutative $L_p$ spaces
The paper makes the first steps into the study of extensions ("twisted sums") of noncommutative $L^p$-spaces regarded as Banach modules over the underlying von Neumann algebra $\mathcal M$. Our approach combines Kalton's description of extensions by centralizers (these are certain maps which are, in general, neither linear nor bounded) with a general principle, due to Rochberg and Weiss saying that whenever one finds a given Banach space $Y$ as an intermediate space in a (complex) interpolation scale, one automatically gets a self-extension $ 0\longrightarrow Y\longrightarrow X\longrightarrow Y \longrightarrow 0. $ For semifinite algebras, considering $L^p=L^p(\mathcal M,τ)$ as an interpolation space between $\mathcal M$ and its predual $\mathcal M_*$ one arrives at a certain self-extension of $L^p$ that is a kind of noncommutative Kalton-Peck space and carries a natural bimodule structure. Some interesting properties of these spaces are presented. For general algebras, including those of type III, the interpolation mechanism produces two (rather than one) extensions of one sided modules, one of left-modules and the other of right-modules. Whether or not one can find (nontrivial) self-extensions of bimodules in all cases is left open.

Extension and lifting of operators and polynomials
We study the problem of extension and lifting of operators belonging to certain operator ideals, as well as that of their associated polynomials and holomorphic functions. Our results provide a characterization of $\mathcal{L}_1$ and $\mathcal{L}_{\infty}$-spaces that includes and extends those of Lindenstrauss-Rosenthal \cite{LR} using compact operators and González-Gutiérrez \cite{GG} using compact polynomials. We display several examples to show the difference between extending and lifting compact (resp. weakly compact, unconditionally convergent, separable and Rosenthal) operators to operators of the same type. Finally, we show the previous results in a homological perspective, which helps the interested reader to understand the motivations and nature of the results presented.

On Lindenstrauss-Pełczyński spaces
In this work we shall be concerned with some stability aspects of the classical problem of extension of $C(K)$-valued operators. We introduce the class $\mathscr{LP}$ of Banach spaces of Lindenstrauss-Pełczyński type as those such that every operator from a subspace of $c_0$ into them can be extended to $c_0$. We show that all $\mathscr{LP}$-spaces are of type $\mathcal L_\infty$ but not the converse. Moreover, $\mathcal L_\infty$-spaces will be characterized as those spaces $E$ such that $E$-valued operators from $w^*(l_1,c_0)$-closed subspaces of $l_1$ extend to $l_1$. Complemented subspaces of $C(K)$ and separably injective spaces are subclasses of $\mathscr{LP}$-spaces and we show that the former does not contain the latter. It is established that $\mathcal L_\infty$-spaces not containing $l_1$ are quotients of $\mathscr{LP}$-spaces, while $\mathcal L_\infty$-spaces not containing $c_0$, quotients of an $\mathscr{LP}$-space by a separably injective space and twisted sums of $\mathscr{LP}$-spaces are $\mathscr{LP}$-spaces.
