Title	Fano hypersurfaces with no finite order birational automorphisms via the AG Preprint seminar .
Abstract	We show that a very general n-dimensional complex hypersurface X of degree ≥ 5⌈(n+3)/6⌉ has no finite order birational automorphisms. In particular, this applies to higher index Fano hypersurfaces (of sufficiently high dimension). We prove this result by studying the specialization homomorphism for the birational automorphism group. This work is joint with Nathan Chen and David Stapleton.
