The automorphism group of a countable first-order structure naturally carries the topology of pointwise convergence. In certain cases, this topology can be used to recover/reconstruct the structure up to bi-interpretability. However, it is not the only group topology of interest. In this talk, we explore various group topologies on automorphism groups - particularly minimal group topologies - with a special emphasis on the Zariski topology. This is joint work with Javier de la Nuez González.
