To every Gorenstein algebra $A$ of finite dimension greater than 1 over a field ${\Bbb F}$ of characteristic zero, and a projection $\pi$ on its maximal ideal ${\mathfrak m}$ with range equal to the annihilator $\hbox{Ann}({\mathfrak m})$ of ${\mathfrak m}$, one can associate a certain algebraic hypersurface $S_{\pi}\subset{\mathfrak m}$. Such hypersurfaces possess remarkable properties. They can be used, for instance, to help decide whether two given Gorenstein algebras are isomorphic, which for ${\Bbb F}={\Bbb C}$ leads to interesting consequences in singularity theory. Also, for ${\Bbb F}={\Bbb R}$ 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 $\hbox{Aut}({\mathfrak m})$ of ${\mathfrak m}$ to act transitively on the set of hyperplanes in ${\mathfrak m}$ complementary to $\hbox{Ann}({\mathfrak m})$. As a consequence of this result we obtain the affine homogeneity of $S_{\pi}$ under the assumption that the algebra $A$ is graded.
