Popis: We consider random walks on countable groups. A celebrated result of Kesten says that the spectral radius of a symmetric walk (whose support generates the group as a semigroup) is equal to one if and only if the group is amenable. We give an analogue of this result for finitely supported walks which are not symmetric. We also conclude a ratio limit theorem for amenable groups.
