contents Beyond the locally compact case, equivalent notions of amenability diverge, and some properties no longer hold, for instance amenability is not inherited by topological subgroups. This investigation is guided by some amenability-type properties of groups of paths and loops. It is shown that a version of amenability called skew-amenability is inherited by pre-syndetic subgroups in the sense of Basso and Zucker (in particular, by co-compact subgroups). It follows that co-compact subgroups of amenable topological groups whose left and right uniformities coincide are amenable. We discuss a version of amenability belonging to P. Malliavin and M.-P. Malliavin: the existence of a mean on bounded Borel functions that is invariant under the left action of a dense subgroup. We observe that this property is in general strictly stronger than amenability, and establish for it Reiter- and Følner-type criteria. Finally, there is a review of open problems.
