Abstract

In this paper we study the topological characteristic factors along cubes of minimal systems. It is shown that up to proximal extensions the pro-nilfactors are the topological characteristic factors along cubes of minimal systems. In particular, for a distal minimal system, the maximal $ (d-1) $-step pro-nilfactor is the topological cubic characteristic factor of order $ d $.
