Universal objects and extreme amenability: where topological dynamics meets Ramsey theory
Abstract: I will present an overview of my work on universal objects in functional analysis, including the Gurarij space, the Poulsen simplex, and their noncommutative analogues. I will then explain how one can compute their universal minimal flows using methods from Ramsey theory and model theory, which is joint work with Bartosova, Lopez-Abad, and Mbombo.
