Session 32. Set Theory

Universal minimal proximal flows of non-Archimedean Polish groups

Lionel Nguyen Van Thé, Aix-Marseille University, France
The talk is based on some joint work with Julien Melleray (Lyon 1) and Todor Tsankov (Paris-Diderot)
Given a topological group G, certain classes of minimal G-flows admit a unique universal element. Proximal flows fall into that category, and the purpose of this talk will be to use the Kechris-Pestov-Todorcevic correspondence between structural Ramsey theory and topological dynamics to describe explicitly the universal object attached to various non-Archimedean Polish groups.
