Abstract
Let G be an infinite countable residually finite amenable group. In this paper we construct a continuous action of G on a compact metrisable space X such that the dynamical system (X, G) cannot be embedded in the G-shift on [0,1]G. This result generalizes a construction due to E. Lindenstrauss and B. Weiss (Mean topological dimension, Israel J. Math. 115 (2000), 1–24) for \(G = \mathbb{Z}\).
