abstract
We prove oscillation stability for the Banach space $\ell_\infty$: every weak-* Borel, uniformily continuous map from the unit sphere of this space to a compact metric space can be made arbitrarily close to a constant map when restricted to the unit sphere of a suitable linear isometric subcopy of $\ell_\infty$. We also give a new proof of oscillation stability for the Urysohn sphere (a result by Nguyen Van Th\'e--Sauer): every uniformily continuous map from the Urysohn sphere to a compact metric space can be made arbitrarily close to a constant map when restricted to a suitable isometric subcopy of the Urysohn sphere. Both proofs are based on Carlson-Simpson's dual Ramsey theorem.
