Abstract
We define an algebraic group over a group to be a variety - that is, a subset of defined by equations over - endowed with a group law whose coordinates can be expressed as word maps. In the case where is a torsion-free hyperbolic group and the underlying variety is irreducible we give a complete description of all algebraic groups.
