Abstract

The first part of these notes give an introduction to the theory of Polish group actions on compact Hausdorff spaces, leading up to a proof of the Kechris-Pestov-Todorcevic correspondence and discussions of properties of universal minimal flows. The second part proveides some background on descriptive set theory and culminates with B. Miller's proof of the $\mathcal{G}_0$-dichotomy theorem due to Kechris, Solecki, and Todorcevic.
