Abstract: To every Gorenstein algebra $A$ of finite dimension greater than 1 over a field $BbbF$ of characteristic zero, and a projection $pi$ on its maximal ideal $mathfrakm$ with range equal to the annihilator $hboxAnn(mathfrakm)$ of $mathfrakm$, one can associate a certain algebraic hypersurface $S_{pi}subsetmathfrakm$. Such hypersurfaces possess remarkable properties. They can be used, for instance, to help decide whether two given Gorenstein algebras are isomorphic, which for $BbbF=BbbC$ leads to interesting consequences in singularity theory. Also, for $BbbF=BbbR$ such hypersurfaces naturally arise in CR-geometry. Applications of these hypersurfaces to problems in algebra and geometry are particularly striking when the hypersurfaces are affine homogeneous. In the present paper we establish a criterion for the affine homogeneity of $S_{pi}$. This condition requires the automorphism group $hboxAut(mathfrakm)$ of $mathfrakm$ to act transitively on the set of hyperplanes in $mathfrakm$ complementary to $hboxAnn(mathfrakm)$. As a consequence of this result we obtain the affine homogeneity of $S_{pi}$ under the assumption that the algebra $A$ is graded.
