Abstract

We simplify a criterion (due to Ibarluc\'ia and the author) which characterizes dynamical simplices, that is, sets KK of probability measures on a Cantor space XX for which there exists a minimal homeomorphism of XX whose set of invariant measures coincides with KK. We then point out that this criterion is related to Fra\"iss\'e theory, and use that connection to provide a new proof of Downarowicz' theorem stating that any Choquet simplex is affinely homeomorphic to a dynamical simplex. The construction enables us to prove that there exist minimal homeomorphisms of a Cantor space which are speedup equivalent but not orbit equivalent, answering a question of D. Ash.
