For a countable amenable group ��and an element f in the integral group ring Z��being invertible in the group von Neumann algebra of ��, we show that the entropy of the shift action of ��on the Pontryagin dual of the quotient of Z��by its left ideal generated by f is the logarithm of the Fuglede-Kadison determinant of f. For the proof, we establish an \ell^p-version of Rufus Bowen's definition of topological entropy, addition formulas for group extensions of countable amenable group actions, and an approximation formula for the Fuglede-Kadison determinant of f in terms of the determinants of perturbations of the compressions of f.
