The rational Gurarii space and its linear isometry group

We show that the classes of partial isometries in finite-dimensional polyhedral spaces and in finite-dimensional rational polyhedral spaces do not have the weak amalgamation property. This implies that the linear isometry group of the rational Gurarii space does not have a comeager conjugacy class. Our methods demonstrate also that the classes of finite-dimensional polyhedral spaces and of finite-dimensional rational polyhedral spaces fail to have the Hrushovski property.
