The paper proves that the phase space of the universal minimal flow for R^n is homeomorphic to (M(Z^n) × I^n)/h by first identifying the universal ambit S(R^n) with (β(Z^n) × I^n)/h and then taking a minimal subflow of the form M × I^n/h with M ⊆ β(Z^n) minimal for the Z^n-action; since any minimal subflow of the universal ambit is a universal minimal flow, this yields M(R^n) ≅ (M(Z^n) × I^n)/h (Theorem 3; the boundary-toggling equivalence h and the ambit isomorphism are established in detail) . The candidate model derives the same identification via an induced (suspension) flow R^n ×_{Z^n} M(Z^n) and then gives an explicit homeomorphism to (M(Z^n) × I^n)/h using floor/frac and the h-identifications. Both arguments agree on the result and the space/action. The model, however, overstates a general identity M(G) ≅ G×_H M(H) for arbitrary closed H; this requires additional hypotheses (e.g., G/H compact) to ensure compactness of the induced space and surjectivity to arbitrary minimal G-flows. In the present cocompact case R^n/Z^n ≅ T^n, the model’s approach is valid, so both are correct, though obtained by different methods.
Referee report (LaTeX)
\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions \textbf{Journal Tier:} note/short/other \textbf{Justification:} The note extends a classical n=1 result to all dimensions in a tidy way by identifying the universal ambit S(R\^n) and then reading off M(R\^n) as a suspension over M(Z\^n). The construction is correct and of interest, though the final step relies on standard facts that should be cited explicitly for completeness. With minor additions clarifying these standard points and the role of minimal subflows of the universal ambit, the paper would be ready.
