Abstract

We obtain a complete classification of the continuous unitary representations of the isometry group of the rational Urysohn space QU\mathbb{Q}\mathbb{U}. As a consequence, we show that Isom(QU)(\mathbb{Q}\mathbb{U}) has property (T). We also derive several ergodic theoretic consequences from this classification: (i)(i) every probability measure-preserving action of Isom(QU)(\mathbb{Q}\mathbb{U}) is either essentially free or essentially transitive, (ii)(ii) every ergodic Isom(QU)(\mathbb{Q}\mathbb{U})-invariant probability measure on [0,1]QU[0,1]^{\mathbb{Q}\mathbb{U}} is a product measure. We obtain the same results for isometry groups of variations of QU\mathbb{Q}\mathbb{U}, such as the rational Urysohn sphere QU1\mathbb{Q}\mathbb{U}_1, the integral Urysohn space ZU\mathbb{Z}\mathbb{U}, etc.
