Abstract: In this article we study minimal homeomorphisms(all orbits are dense) of the tori $T^n,$ $n<5.$ The linear part of a homeomorphism $phi$ of $T^n$ is the linear mapping $L$ induced by $phi$ on the first homology group of $T^n$. It follows from the Lefschetz fixed point theorem that 1 is an eigenvalue of $L$ if $phi$ minimal. We show that if $phi$ is minimal and $n<5$ then $L$ is quasi-unipontent, i.e., all the eigenvalues of $L$ are roots of unity and conversely if $$ is quasi-unipotent and 1 is an eigenvalue of $L$ then there exists a $C^{infty}$ minimal skew-product diffeomorphism $phi$ of $T^n$ whose linear part is precisely $L.$ We do not know if these results are true for $n>4$. We give a sufficient condition for a smooth skew-product diffeomorphism of a torus of arbitrary dimension to be smoothly conjugate to an affine transformation.
