Abstract
This brief survey has a very modest goal. I hope to present an introduction to some of the common features which lay in the background of at least three of the main topics of this workshop: the spectrum function for countable theories [8], smoothly approximated structures [6], the model theory of fields with an automorphism and its application to the Manin-Mumford Conjecture [23, 4].
