Description

The author analyzes the abstract structure of algebraic groups over an algebraically closed field $K$. For $K$ of characteristic zero and $G$ a given connected affine algebraic $\overline{\mathbb Q}$-group, the main theorem describes all the affine algebraic $\overline{\mathbb Q} $-groups $H$ such that the groups $H(K)$ and $G(K)$ are isomorphic as abstract groups.

In the same time, it is shown that for any two connected algebraic $\overline{\mathbb Q} $-groups $G$ and $H$, the elementary equivalence of the pure groups $G(K)$ and $H(K)$ implies that they are abstractly isomorphic. In the final section, the author applies his results to characterize the connected algebraic groups, all of whose abstract automorphisms are standard, when $K$ is either $\overline {\mathbb Q}$ or of positive characteristic.

In characteristic zero, a fairly general criterion is exhibited.
