A note on Shavgulidze's papers concerning the amenability problem for Thompson's group
arXiv:1102.0747
Abstract
This paper examines Shavgulidze's postings to the ArXiv and publications which concern his argument that Thompson's group F is amenable. In particular I list specific places where there are errors in each of the postings and publications and give a public clarification of some of the speculation around these papers.
Last sentence of first paragraph modified ("... can not be repaired." -> "... do not seem to be repairable."). The omitted definition of script D has now been included and description of script T is simplified
