Abstract
Context. AM Canum Venaticorum stars are close, interacting binary systems with a white dwarf primary surrounded by a helium-dominated accretion disk. Because of the short orbital periods, the unseen secondary must be compact, too. Different evolutionary scenarios for the formation of these systems resulting in different kinds of secondaries are possible.
