Abstract

We study universal minimal flows of the homeomorphism groups of generalized Wa\.zewski dendrites WPW_P, P{3,4,,ω}P\subset\{3,4,\ldots,\omega\}. If PP is finite, we prove that the universal minimal flow of of the homeomorphism group H(WP)H(W_P) is metrizable and we compute it explicitly. This answers a question of B. Duchesne. If PP is infinite, we show that the universal minimal flow of H(WP)H(W_P) is not metrizable. This provides examples of topological groups which are Roelcke precompact and have a non-metrizable universal minimal flow with a comeager orbit.
