We discuss definable compactifications and topological dynamics. For G a group definable in some structure M, we define notions of "definable" compactification of G and "definable" action of G on a compact space X (definable G-flow), where…

When $G$ is a Polish group, metrizability of the universal minimal flow has been shown to be a robust dividing line in the complexity of the topological dynamics of $G$. We introduce a class of groups, the CAP groups, which provides a neat…

Every topological group $G$ has up to isomorphism a unique minimal $G$-flow that maps onto every minimal $G$-flow, the universal minimal flow $M(G).$ We show that if $G$ has a compact normal subgroup $K$ that acts freely on $M(G)$ and there…

Given a countable group $G$ and a $G$-flow $X$, a measure $\mu\in P(X)$ is called characteristic if it is $\mathrm{Aut}(X, G)$-invariant. Frisch and Tamuz asked about the existence of a minimal $G$-flow, for any group $G$, which does not…

We study the definable topological dynamics $(G(M), S_G(M))$ of a definable group acting on its type space, where $M$ is either an $o$-minimal structure or a $p$-adically closed field, and $G$ a definable amenable group. We focus on the…

We consider automorphism groups of some countably categorical structures and their precompact expansions. We prove that automorphism groups of omega-stable omega-categorical structures have metrizable universal minimal flows. We also study…

We study projectivity in the category of $G$-flows and affine $G$-flows for Polish groups $G$. We also introduce the notion of \emph{proximally irreducible} extensions between affine $G$-flows. Using this we provide a characterization of…

We consider a short exact sequence $1\to H\to G\to K\to 1$ of Polish groups and consider what can be deduced about the dynamics of $G$ given information about the dynamics of $H$ and $K$. We prove that if the respective universal minimal…

This paper is devoted to the study of universality for a particular continuous action naturally attached to certain pairs of closed subgroups of $S_{\infty}$. It shows that three new concepts, respectively called relative extreme…

It is a well-known fact, that the greatest ambit for a topological group $G$ is the Samuel compactification of $G$ with respect to the right uniformity on $G.$ We apply the original destription by Samuel from 1948 to give a simple…

We initiate a study of definable topological dynamics for groups definable in metastable theories. Specifically, we consider the special linear group $G = SL_2$ with entries from $M = \mathbb{C}((t))$; the field of formal Laurent series…

In this paper, we show that the action of a characteristically simple, non-extremely amenable (non-strongly amenable, non-amenable) group on its universal minimal (minimal proximal, minimal strongly proximal) flow is effective. We present…

We prove that if the universal minimal flow of a Polish group $G$ is metrizable and contains a $G_\delta$ orbit $G \cdot x_0$, then it is isomorphic to the completion of the homogeneous space $G/G_{x_0}$ and show how this result translates…

Let $G$ be a locally compact Polish group. A metrizable $G$-flow $Y$ is called model-universal if by considering the various invariant probability measures on $Y$, we can recover every free action of $G$ on a standard Lebesgue space up to…

We describe the greatest ambit and the universal minimal flow as spaces of near ultrafilters. We translate other notions of topological dynamics into this language and show how this approach simplifies some known proofs. We provide a simple…

Given a countable group $G$, we say that a metrizable flow $Y$ is model-universal if by considering the various invariant measures on $Y$, we can recover every free measure-preserving $G$-system up to isomorphism. Weiss has constructed a…

Every topological group $G$ has some natural compactifications which can be a useful tool of studying $G$. We discuss the following constructions: (1) the greatest ambit $S(G)$ is the compactification corresponding to the algebra of all…

A Polish group $G$ has the generic point property if any minimal $G$-flow admits a comeager orbit, or equivalently if the universal minimal flow (UMF) does. The class $\mathsf{GPP}$ of such Polish groups is a proper extension of the class…

We study universal minimal flows of the homeomorphism groups of generalized Wa\.zewski dendrites $W_P$, $P\subset\{3,4,\ldots,\omega\}$. If $P$ is finite, we prove that the universal minimal flow of of the homeomorphism group $H(W_P)$ is…

For a group $G$ definable in a first order structure $M$ we develop basic topological dynamics in the category of definable $G$-flows. In particular, we give a description of the universal definable $G$-ambit and of the semigroup operation…
