Abstract: Let $\Theta$ be an arbitrary variety of algebras and let $\Theta ^0$ be the category of all free finitely generated algebras from $\Theta$. We study automorphisms of such categories for special $\Theta$. The cases of the varieties of all groups, all semigroups, all modules over a noetherian ring, all associative and commutative algebras over a field are completely investigated. The cases of associative and Lie algebras are also considered. This topic relates to algebraic geometry in arbitrary variety of algebras $\Theta$.
