The classical Gaussian functor associates to every orthogonal representation of a locally compact groupGa probability measure preserving action ofGcalled a Gaussian action. In this paper, we generalize this construction by associating to every affine isometric action ofGon a Hilbert space, a one-parameter family of nonsingular Gaussian actions whose ergodic properties are related in a very subtle way to the geometry of the original action. We show that these nonsingular Gaussian actions exhibit a phase transition phenomenon and we relate it to new quantitative invariants for affine isometric actions. We use the Patterson-Sullivan theory as well as Lyons-Pemantle work on tree-indexed random walks in order to give a precise description of this phase transition for affine isometric actions of groups acting on trees. We also show that every locally compact group without property (T) admits a nonsingular Gaussian that is free, weakly mixing and of stable type.
