ABSTRACT
We review basic properties of the Abelian sandpile model and describe recent progress made regarding its infinite volume limit on $Z^d$. In particular, we discuss the existence of the infinite volume limit of the stationary measure for $d \ge 2$, existence of infinite volume addition operators for $d \ge 3$, and construction of an infinite volume process for $d \ge 5$. We give an overview of the techniques relevant for these constructions.
