Abstract:
It is a well-known fact that every automorphism of a smooth hypersurface of degree d in Pn,n⩾2, comes from the automorphism group of Pn unless (n,d)=(2,3),(3,4). In my talk, I reinvestigate this phenomenon inside out, i.e., the problem when the automorphism group of the complement of the hypersurface in Pn coincides with the subgroup of the automorphismgroup of Pn that keeps the hypersurface fixed. This talk is base on a joint work with Ivan Cheltsov and Adrien Dubouloz.
