Abstract
The following notes are an enriched exposition of the material which I presented during the C.I.M.E. summer school in Cetrato. My main goal is to illustrate the ideas behind the proofs of recent results generalizing the Sub-space Theorem in diophantine approximation. I have tried to keep a balance between avoiding certain technical details (which would have made the notes by far too long and which rather would have hidden the basic ideas) and giving a presentation which is accessible for nonspecialists without simply waving hands.
