contents In this survey, we consider Banach spaces of analytic functions in one and several complex variables for which: (i) polynomials are dense, (ii) point-evaluations on the domain are bounded linear functionals, and (iii) the shift operator corresponding to each variable is a bounded linear map. We discuss the problem of determining the shift-cyclic functions in such a space, i.e., functions whose polynomial multiples form a dense subspace. This problem is known to be intimately connected to some deep problems in other areas of mathematics, such as the dilation completeness problem and even the Riemann hypothesis. What makes determining shift-cyclic functions so difficult is that often we need to employ techniques that are specific to the space in consideration. We therefore cover several different function spaces that have frequently appeared in the past such as the Hardy spaces, Dirichlet-type spaces, complete Pick spaces and Bergman spaces. We highlight the similarities and the differences between shift-cyclic functions among these spaces and list some important general properties that shift-cyclic functions in any given analytic function space must share. Throughout this discussion, we also motivate and provide a large list of open problems related to shift-cyclicity.
