Algebraic geometry over algebraic structures III: Equationally Noetherian property and compactness

In this paper we discuss some special generalizations of equationally Noetherian property which naturally arise in the universal algebraic geometry. We introduce weakly equationally Noetherian, qw-compact, uw-compact, and weakly uw-compact algebras and then examine properties of such algebras. Also we consider the connections between five classes: the class of equationally Noetherian algebras, the class of weakly equationally Noetherian algebras, the class of uw-compact algebras, the class of weakly uw-compact algebras, and the class of qw-compact algebras.
