Are automorphism groups of hypersurfaces reduced ?

If $X$ is a smooth hypersurface in $\mathbf{P}^{n+1}$ of degree $d$, where $n \ge 1$, $d \ge 3$, and $(n,d) \ne (1,3)$, then $H^0(X,T_X)=0$ by Theorem 11.5.2 in Katz and Sarnak, Random matrices, Frobe …

Smoothness of hyperplane sections

Spread out $X$ over some $R=\mathbf{Z}[1/n]$ to a hypersurface $\mathcal{X} \subseteq \mathbf{P}^n_R$ that is smooth and projective over $R$. The standard proof of the Bertini smoothness theorem (as …
