This dissertation presents new results on three different themes all related to matroid polytopes. First we investigate properties of Ehrhart polynomials of matroid polytopes, independence matroid polytopes, and polymatroids. We prove that…

This paper discusses the role of the Skorokhod space and the convergence of probability measures on it in some recent studies of the foundations of quantum mechanics, both in the conventional setting over the real number field and in the…

We show that a certain integral representation of the one-sided Skorokhod reflection of a continuous bounded variation function characterizes the reflection in that it possesses a unique maximal solution which solves the Skorokhod…

The aim of this paper is to extend the coisotropic embedding theorem obtained by M. J. Gotay for pre-symplectic manifolds to more general geometric settings: cosymplectic, contact, cocontact, $k$-symplectic, $k$-cosymplectic, $k$-contact,…

Switching identities have a long history in potential theory and stochastic analysis. In recent work of Cox and Wang, a switching identity was used to connect an optimal stopping problem and the Skorokhod embedding problem (SEP). Typically…

In this article, we discuss and survey the recent progress towards the Schottky problem, and make some comments on the relations between the Andr{\'e}-Oort conjecture, Okounkov convex bodies, Coleman's conjecture, stable modular forms,…

The third named author has been developing a theory of "higher" symplectic capacities. These capacities are invariant under taking products, and so are well-suited for studying the stabilized embedding problem. The aim of this note is to…

In this paper we propose a unified approach, based on limiting interpolation, to investigate the embeddings for the Sobolev space $(\dot{W}^k_p(\mathcal{X}))_0, \, \mathcal{X} \in \{\mathbb{R}^d, \mathbb{T}^d, \Omega\}$, in the subcritical…

We obtain bounds on the distribution of the maximum of a martingale with fixed marginals at finitely many intermediate times. The bounds are sharp and attained by a solution to $n$-marginal Skorokhod embedding problem in Ob{\l}\'oj and…

The conformal Skorokhod embedding problem (CSEP) is a planar variant of the classical problem where the solution is now a simply connected domain $D\subset\mathbb{C}$ whose exit time embeds a given probability distribution $\mu$ by…

Suppose $X$ is a time-homogeneous diffusion on an interval $I^X \subseteq \mathbb R$ and let $\mu$ be a probability measure on $I^X$. Then $\tau$ is a solution of the Skorokhod embedding problem (SEP) for $\mu$ in $X$ if $\tau$ is a…
