Abstract

Given a finitely generated group Γ\Gamma, we study the space Isom(Γ,QU){\rm Isom}(\Gamma,{\mathbb Q\mathbb U}) of all actions of Γ\Gamma by isometries of the rational Urysohn metric space QU{\mathbb Q\mathbb U}, where Isom(Γ,QU){\rm Isom}(\Gamma,{\mathbb Q\mathbb U}) is equipped with the topology it inherits seen as a closed subset of Isom(QU)Γ{\rm Isom}({\mathbb Q\mathbb U})^\Gamma. When Γ\Gamma is the free group \Fn\F_n on nn generators this space is just Isom(QU)n{\rm Isom}({\mathbb Q\mathbb U})^n, but is in general significantly more complicated. We prove that when Γ\Gamma is finitely generated Abelian there is a generic point in Isom(Γ,QU){\rm Isom}(\Gamma,{\mathbb Q\mathbb U}), i.e., there is a comeagre set of mutually conjugate isometric actions of Γ\Gamma on QU{\mathbb Q\mathbb U}.
