Abstract: For a finitely generated group $G$ the Nielsen graph $N_n(G)$, $ngeqoperatornamerank(G)$, describes the action of the group $operatornameAut{F}_n$ of automorphisms of the free group $F_n$ on generating $n$-tuples of G by elementary Nielsen moves. The question of (non)amenability of Nielsen graphs is of particular interest in relation with the open question about Property $(T)$ for $operatornameAut{F}_n$, $ngeq4$. We prove nonamenability of Nielsen graphs $N_n(G)$ for all $ngemax2,operatornamerank(G)$ when $G$ is indicable, and for $n$ big enough when $G$ is elementary amenable. We give an explicit description of $N_d(G)$ for relatively free (in some variety) groups of rank $d$ and discuss their connectedness and nonamenability. Examples considered include free polynilpotent groups and free Burnside groups.
