Abstract

Let Θ be a variety of algebras. In every Θ and every algebra H from Θ one can consider algebraic geometry in Θ over H. We consider also a special categorical invariant KΘ(H) of this geometry. The classical algebraic geometry deals with the variety Θ=Com-P of all associative and commutative algebras over the ground field of constants P. An algebra H in this setting is an extension of the ground field P. Geometry in groups is related to varieties \Grp and \Grp-G, where G is a group of constants. The case \Grp -F where F is a free group, is related to Tarski's problems devoted to logic of a free group. he described general insight on algebraic geometry in different varieties of algebras inspires some new problems in algebra and algebraic geometry. The problems of such kind determine, to a great extent, the content of universal algebraic geometry. We start with the short overview of main definitions and results and then consider the list of unsolved problems.
