Popis: Enveloping semigroups of topological actions of semigroups G G on compact spaces are studied. For zero dimensional spaces, and under modest conditions on G G , the enveloping semigroup is shown to be the Stone-Čech compactification if and only if some Cartesian product has the two-shift as a factor. Examples are discussed showing that, unlike in the measure theory case, positive entropy does not imply the existence of such a factor even if the Cartesian product has large entropy.
