Title: Proximality and regional proximality in topological dynamics

Abstract:
Let (X,T) be a flow - a jointly continuous action of the topological 
group T on the compact Hausdorff space X. The proximal and regionally 
proximal relations give rise respectively to the distal and 
equicontinuous structure relations. Another relation due to Veech 
coincides with the regionally proximal relation in many cases for 
minimal flows.
