Automorphisms of a smooth quadric surface $Q\subset\mathbb{P}^{3}$
Let $Q\cong\mathbb{P^{1}_{1}}\times\mathbb{P^{1}_{2}}\subset\mathbb{P}^{3}$ be a smooth quadric surface. We have the following two actions on $Q$:
$$S_2\times Q\rightarrow Q,\; (\sigma,(x,y))\mapsto\...

Automorphism group of a smooth quadric $Q\subset\mathbb{P}^4$
Let $Q$ be the smooth quadric threefold in $\mathbb{P}^4_{\mathbb{C}}$ defined by the equation
$x_0x_4+x_1x_3+x_2^2=0$.
Is it true that the automorphism group of $Q$ is $SO(Q;\mathbb{C})$ which is ...
