Abstract: Let $G$ be a locally compact group and let $GcurvearrowrightX$ be a $G$-flow. We prove that if the flow $X$ is maximally highly proximal, then the stabilizer map $xmapsto{G}_x$, from $X$ to the space of closed subgroups of $G$, is continuous. This provides in particular a common generalization of a theorem of Frol'ik (that the set of fixed points of a homeomorphism of an extremally disconnected compact space is open) and a theorem of Veech (that the action of a locally compact group on its greatest ambit is free).
