Simple groups: alternating groups and groups of Lie type (20D06) Arithmetic and combinatorial problems involving abstract finite groups (20D60) Finite-dimensional division rings (16K20) Simple, semisimple, reductive (super)algebras (17B20) Algebraic geometry over groups; equations over groups (20F70)

Abstract: We give a brief survey of recent results on word maps on simple groups and polynomial maps on simple associative and Lie algebras. Our focus is on parallelism between these theories, allowing one to state many new open problems and giving new ways for solving older ones.
