Amenability of groups is characterized by Myhill's Theorem. With an appendix by Dawid Kielak

<p>We prove a converse to Myhill's "Garden-of-Eden" theorem and obtain in this manner a characterization of amenability in terms of cellular automata: A group G is amenable if and only if every cellular automaton with carrier G that has gardens of Eden also has mutually erasable...
