Abstract: In the present talk, we first give several equivalent definitions of the Weisfeiler-Leman dimension of a graph. Then, we briefly survey some known results on this invariant and its connection to the Graph Isomorphism Problem. In the main part of the talk, we discuss recently obtained results and mention some open problems.
