Abstract: We define a simple criterion for a homogeneous, complete metric structure $X$ that implies that the automorphism group $mboxAut(X)$ satisfies all the main consequences of the existence of ample generics: it has the small index property, the automatic continuity property, and uncountable cofinality for non-open subgroups. Then we verify it for the Urysohn space $mboxU$, the Lebesgue probability measure algebra $mboxMALG$, and the Hilbert space $el{l}_2$, thus proving that $mboxIso(mboxU)$, $mboxAut(mboxMALG)$, $U(el{l}_2)$, and $O(el{l}_2)$ share these properties. We also formulate a condition for $X$ which implies that every homomorphism of $mboxAut(X)$ into a separable group $K$ with a left-invariant, complete metric, is trivial, and we verify it for $mboxU$, and $el{l}_2$.
