A short note on extreme amenability of automorphism groups of \(\omega\)-categorical structures. (Q5965142)

A topological group is extremely amenable if every continuous action \(\cdot\colon G\times X\to X\) on a compact Hausdorff space \(X\) has a joint fixpoint, that means that there is an \(x_0\in X\) such that \(g\cdot x_0=x_0\) for all \(g\in G\). Here the author shows that the automorphism group of every \(\omega\)-categorical linear order is extremely amenable. This result implies that an oligomorphic permutation group \(G\) is contained in an extremely amenable permutation group if and only if it preserves a linear order. The paper is based on \textit{F. G. Dorais} et al. [Order 30, No. 2, 415-426 (2013; Zbl 1279.06002)].
