Plotkin [arXiv:math.GM/0210194, arXiv:math.GM/0204245] drew attention to the question when an equivalence between two categories is isomorphic as a functor to an isomorphism between them. It turns out that it is quite important for universal algebraical geometry and concerns mainly the categories $Θ\sp 0 (X) $ of free universal algebras of some variety $Θ$ free generated by finite subsets of $X$. In the paper, a complete answer to the Plotkin's question is given: there are no proper autoequivalences of the category $Θ\sp 0 (X) $. Also some connected problems are discussed.9 pagesGeneral MathematicsCategory Theory18A99 (Primery) 08B20, 08A35text
