Abstract: We prove that, if $G$ is a second-countable topological group with a compatible right-invariant metric $d$ and $(m{u}_n{)}_{ninmathbbN}$ is a sequence of compactly supported Borel probability measures on $G$ converging to invariance with respect to the mass transportation distance over $d$ and such that $left(mathrmspt,m{u}_n,d!!upharpoonrigh{t}_{mathrmspt,m{u}_n},m{u}_n!!upharpoonrigh{t}_{mathrmspt,m{u}_n}ight{)}_{ninmathbbN}$ concentrates to a fully supported, compact $mm$-space $left(X,d_X,m{u}_{X}ight)$, then $X$ is homeomorphic to a $G$-invariant subspace of the Samuel compactification of $G$. In particular, this confirms a conjecture by Pestov and generalizes a well-known result by Gromov and Milman on the extreme amenability of topological groups. Furthermore, we exhibit a connection between the average orbit diameter of a metrizable flow of an arbitrary amenable topological group and the limit of Gromov's observable diameters along any net of Borel probability measures UEB-converging to invariance over the group.
