A direct solution to the Generic Point Problem

Abstract

We provide a new proof of a recent theorem of Ben-Yaacov, Melleray, and Tsankov. If GG is a Polish group and XX is a minimal, metrizable GG-flow with all orbits meager, then the universal minimal flow M(G)M(G) is non-metrizable. In particular, we show that given XX as above, the universal highly proximal extension of XX is non-metrizable.

This version extends the previous version by connecting the construction to the universal highly proximal extension
