Description of a Skorohod imbedding procedure for real valued r.v.'s due to Dubins (
Ann. Math. Stat.,
39, 1968), using a remarkable discrete approximation of measures. It does not use randomization
Comment: This beautiful method to realize Skorohod's imbedding is related to that of Chacon and Walsh in
1002. For a deeper study see Bretagnolle

Travaux de H. Rost en théorie du balayage (

The ``filling scheme'' is a technique used in ergodic theory to prove Hopf's maximal Lemma and the Chacon-Ornstein theorem, studied in detail by H.~Rost (
Zeit. für W-theorie, 15, 1970;
Ann. Inst. Fourier, 21, 1971): it provides a solution to Skorohod's imbedding problem for measures on discrete time Markov processes. Here it is also used to prove Brunel's Lemma in pointwise ergodic theory

Le schéma de remplissage en temps continu, d'après H. Rost (
Ergodic theory,
Potential theory)
The work of H. Rost on the so-called discrete filling scheme was presented to the Seminar as
523. Here following Rost himself (
Invent. Math., 14, 1971) the construction is extended to continuous time Markov processes. In the transient case, the results are translated in potential-theoretic language, and proved using techniques due to Mokobodzki. Then the general case follows from this result applied to a space-time extension of the semi-group

Une nouvelle représentation du type de Skorohod (

Une remarque sur le problème de Skorohod (
Brownian motion)
The explicit construction of a non-randomized solution of the Skorohod imbedding problem given by Dubins (see
516) is studied from the point of view of exponential moments. In particular, the Dubins stopping time for the distribution of a bounded stopping time $T$ has exponential moments, but this is not always the case if $T$ has exponential moments without being bounded

Stopping sequences (
Markov processes,
Potential theory)
Given a discrete time Markov process $(X_n)$ with transition kernel $P$, a stopping sequence with initial distribution $\mu$ is a family $(\mu_n)$ of measures such that $\mu\ge\mu_0$ and $\mu_{k-1}P\ge\mu_k$. The stopping sequence associated with a stopping time $T$ is the sequence of distributions of $X_{T}, k< T<\infty$ under the law $P_\mu$. Every stopping sequence arises in this way from some randomized stopping time $T$, and the distribution of $X_T, T<\infty$ is independent of $T$ and called the final distribution. Then several constructions of stopping sequences are described, including Rost's ``filling scheme'', and several operations on stopping sequences, aiming at the construction of ``short'' stopping times in the Skorohod imbedding problem, without assuming transience of the process
Comment: This is a development of the research of H.~Rost on the ``filling scheme'', for which see

Skorohod stopping via Potential Theory (

Skorohod stopping in discrete time (
Markov processes,

Using ideas of Mokobodzki, it is shown how the imbedding of a measure $\mu_1$ in the discrete Markov process with initial measure $\mu_0$ can be achieved by a random mixture of hitting times
Comment: This is a potential theoretic version of the original construction of Skorohod. This paper is better read in conjunction with Heath

Skorohod stopping times of minimal variance (
Markov processes)
Root's (
Ann. Math. Stat.,
40, 1969) solution of the Shorohod imbedding problem for Brownian motion uses the hitting time of a barrier in space-time. Here Root's construction is extended to general Markov processes, an optimality property of Root's stopping times is proved, as well as the uniqueness of such stopping times

Une solution simple au problème de Skorokhod (
Brownian motion)
An explicit solution is given to Skorohod's problem: given a distribution $\mu$ with mean $0$ and finite second moment $\sigma^2$, find a (non randomized) stopping time $T$ of a Brownian motion $(X_t)$ such that $X_T$ has the distribution $\mu$ and $E[T]=\sigma^2$. It is shown that if $S_t$ is the one-sided supremum of $X$ at time $t$, $T=\inf\{t:S_t\ge\psi(X_t)\}$ solves the problem, where $\psi(x)$ is the barycenter of $\mu$ restricted to $[x,\infty[$. The paper has several interesting side results, like explicit families of Brownian martingales, and a proof of the Ray-Knight theorem on local times

On Skorohod embedding in $n$-dimensional Brownian motion by means of natural stopping times (

Williams' characterization of the Brownian excursion law: proof and applications (
Brownian motion)
In the early eighties, Ito's rigorous approach to Lévy's ideas on excursions, aroused much enthusiasm, as people discovered it led to simple and conceptual proofs of most classical results on Brownian motion, and of many new ones. This paper contains the first published proof of the celebrated description of the Ito measure discovered by Williams (Williams
Diffusions, Markov Processes and Martingales, Wiley 1979, II.67), and it collects a number of applications, including the Azéma-Yor approach to Skorohod's imbedding theorem (

Skorohod imbedding via stochastic integrals (
Brownian motion)
A centered probability $\mu$ on $\bf R$ is the law of $g(X_1)$, for a suitable function $g$ and $(X_t,\ t\le 1)$ a Brownian motion. The martingale with terminal value $g(X_1)$ is a time change $(T(t), \ t\le1)$ of a Brownian motion $\beta$; it is shown that $T(1)$ is a stopping time for $\beta$, thus showing the Skorohod embedding for $\mu$
