Title:
Amenability via actions of groups

Abstract:
I will discuss a theorem on amenability which unifies many known technical proofs of amenability to the one common proof. It also produces examples of groups for which amenability was an open problem. This is joint with V. Nekrashevych and M. de la Salle.
