Abstract:
We will discuss several definitions of amenability and review the basic properties of amenable groups. Moreover, we will go over the examples of non-elementary amenable groups, including simple infinite finitely generated amenable groups. Finally, we will review some of the applications of amenability to ergodic theory.
