Abstract: As a first step to understand how complicated attractors for dynamical systems can be, one may consider the following realizability problem: given a continuum $Ksubseteqmathbb{R}^3$, decide when $K$ can be realized as an attractor for a homeomorphism of $mathbb{R}^3$. In this paper we introduce toroidal sets as those continua $Ksubseteqmathbb{R}^3$ that have a neighbourhood basis comprised of solid tori and, generalizing the classical notion of genus of a knot, give a natural definition of the genus of toroidal sets and study some of its properties. Using these tools we exhibit knots and solenoids for which the answer to the realizability problem stated above is negative.
