Abstract: Given integers $dge3$ and $Nge3$. Let $G$ be a finite abelian group acting faithfully and linearly on a smooth hypersurface of degree $d$ in the complex projective space $mathbb{P}^{N-1}$. Suppose $GsubsetPGL(N,mathbbC)$ can be lifted to a subgroup of $GL(N,mathbbC)$. Suppose moreover that there exists an element $g$ in $G$ such that $G/langlegangle$ has order coprime to $d-1$. Then all possible $G$ are determined (Theorem 4.3). As an application, we derive (Theorem 4.8) all possible orders of linear automorphisms of smooth hypersurfaces for any given $(d,N)$. In particular, we show (Proposition 5.1) that the order of an automorphism of a smooth cubic fourfold is a factor of 21, 30, 32, 33, 36 or 48, and each of those 6 numbers is achieved by a unique (up to isomorphism) cubic fourfold.
