Abstract: If $G$ is a Polish group and $Gamma$ is a countable group, denote by $Hom(Gamma,G)$ the space of all homomorphisms $GammaoG$. We study properties of the group $clpi(Gamma)$ for the generic $piinHom(Gamma,G)$, when $Gamma$ is abelian and $G$ is one of the following three groups: the unitary group of an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space, the automorphism group of a standard probability space, and the isometry group of the Urysohn metric space. Under mild assumptions on $Gamma$, we prove that in the first case, there is (up to isomorphism of topological groups) a unique generic $clpi(Gamma)$; in the other two, we show that the generic $clpi(Gamma)$ is extremely amenable. We also show that if $Gamma$ is torsion-free, the centralizer of the generic $pi$ is as small as possible, extending a result of King from ergodic theory.
