Abstract: Let $G$ be a countable group, $operatornameSub(G)$ the (compact, metric) space of all subgroups of $G$ with the Chabauty topology and $operatornameIs(G)subsetoperatornameSub(G)$ the collection of isolated points. We denote by $X!$ the (Polish) group of all permutations of a countable set $X$. Then the following properties are equivalent: (i) $operatornameIs(G)$ is dense in $operatornameSub(G)$, (ii) $G$ admits a "generic permutation representation". Namely there exists some $a{u}^{\ast }inoperatornameHom(G,X!)$ such that the collection of permutation representations $phiinoperatornameHom(G,X!)|phiextispermutationisomorphictoa{u}^{\ast }$ is co-meager in $operatornameHom(G,X!)$. We call groups satisfying these properties solitary. Examples of solitary groups include finitely generated LERF groups and groups with countably many subgroups.
