Amenability problem for Thompson's group F: state of the art

Abstract: This is a survey of our recent results on the amenability problem for Thompson's group

F

. They mostly concern esimating the density of finite subgraphs in Cayley graphs of

F

for various systems of generators, and also equations in the group ring of

F

. We also discuss possible approaches to solve the problem in both directions.
