SUMMARY. Sofic groups were first defined by M. Gromov as a common generalization of amenable groups and residually finite groups. We discuss this new class and especially its relationship to an old problem in topological dynamics of W. Gottschalk on surjunctive groups. The basic objects of study in topological dynamics are a pair (X;G) with X a topological space and G a group, together with a homomorphism from G into the group of homeomorphisms of X. In classical dynamics G = R and the action of R is defined by the solutions of some system of dierential equations. Our interest here will be in countable groups G, for which there is a very natural action defined on the compact space f1;2;¢¢¢ag G = › called the shift ae given by:
