Abstract
Let $A$ be a finitely generated associative algebra over an algebraically closed field. We characterize the finite-dimensional $A$-modules whose orbit closures are local hypersurfaces. The result is reduced to an analogous characterization for orbit closures of quiver representations obtained in Section 3.
