Ramsey actions and Gelfand duality

Abstract

Abstract In this paper we discuss structural Ramsey theory and how it relates to the understanding of extremely amenable groups with an emphasis on the measure theoretic nature of this problem. We discuss the problem within Blass-Ramsey actions on discrete spaces and and more general group actions on compact spaces and explore how we can look at these problems by looking at Gelfand duals of commutative C *-algebras.
