Abstract: Given a countable dense subset S of a finite-dimensional normed space X, and 0<p<1, we form a random graph on S by joining, independently and with probability p, each pair of points at distance less than 1. We say that S is `Rado' if any two such random graphs are (almost surely) isomorphic. Bonato and Janssen showed that in linftyd almost all S are Rado. Our main aim in this paper is to show that linftyd is the unique normed space with this property: indeed, in every other space almost all sets S are non-Rado. We also determine which spaces admit some Rado set: this turns out to be the spaces that have an linfty direct summand. These results answer questions of Bonato and Janssen. A key role is played by the determination of which finite-dimensional normed spaces have the property that every bijective step-isometry (meaning that the integer part of distances is preserved) is in fact an isometry. This result may be of independent interest.
