 Dana Bartosova (University of Toronto)Universal minimal flows in the language of filtersAbstract: I will introduce a construction by Balcar and Franek of the Boolean algebra of clopen sets of the universal minimal dynamical system for discrete groups. I will show how that generalizes to topological groups. I will talk about a couple of applications of this approach, e.g. to groups of automorphisms of uncountable structures using methods of Kechris, Pestov and Todorcevic connecting structural Ramsey theory and topological dynamics.
