Abstract

We prove that if the universal minimal flow of a Polish group GG is metrizable and contains a GδG_\delta orbit Gx0G \cdot x_0, then it is isomorphic to the completion of the homogeneous space G/Gx0G/G_{x_0} and show how this result translates naturally in terms of structural Ramsey theory. We also investigate universal minimal proximal flows and describe concrete representations of them in a number of examples.
