Abstract
Given a semigroup and a bounded function , a topological Furstenberg system of is a topological dynamical system that encodes the dynamical behaviour of . We show that is unique up to topological isomorphism, thus providing a topological analogue of the measurable case established by Bergelson and Ferr\'e Moragues for amenable semigroups. We also provide necessary and sufficient conditions for subsets of a group to have isomorphic Furstenberg systems. In addition, we study sets with minimal Furstenberg systems and identify them as a special subclass of dynamically syndetic sets. Moreover, we use this notion to obtain a new characterization of sets of topological recurrence.
