(Definition)

Let $G$ be a locally compact group and $L^\infty(G)$ be the Banach space of all essentially bounded functions $G \to \Rset$ with respect to the Haar measure.
Definition 2 Let $L_g$ be the left action of $g \in G$ on $f \in L^\infty(G)$ , i.e. $(L_g f)(h) = f(g^{-1}h)$ . Then, a mean $\mu$ is said to be left invariant if $\mu(L_g f) = \mu(f)$ for all $g \in G$ and $f \in L^\infty(G)$ . Similarly, right invariant if $\mu(R_g f) = \mu(f)$ , where $R_g$ is the right action $(R_g f)(h) = f(hg)$ .
Definition 3 A locally compact group $G$ is amenable if there is a left (or right) invariant mean on $L^\infty(G)$ .
