Summary
Here we describe the C*-algebras, full (or maximal) and reduced, associated to a discrete group and we describe the known basic facts about multipliers acting on them. We present the basic characterizations of amenable groups in terms of their associated C*-algebras. We make frequent use in the sequelof the Fell's absorption principle, which is described here.
