My early research was focused on weak topologies of probability measures associated to stochastic
processes, via Martingale Theory and the General Theory of Processes. The first article I published
in this direction of research was [3] devoted to the convergence in distribution of continuous
martingales. This was followed and improved by a series ([4], [5], [6]) of notes which included a
first version of a Central Limit Theorem for (discontinuous) square integrable Martingales,
building up a new method to approach the convergence in distribution of stochastic processes. The
first applications of this method appeared in [7] and [8]. One of my main
papers on the method I built up is the memoir [9].
Furthermore, several extensions and improvements of the method followed in [10]-[14]. The article
[15] provided a complete description of tightness on the Skorokhod space D by means of stopping
times. On the other hand, in [16] the more general result on the Central Limit Theorem
for Local Martingales was established. My research turned then into the search of necessary
and sufficient conditions for the validity of the Central Limit Theorem. This was achieved for the
case of semimartingales in [17].
Semimartingale or martingale problems have been considered in [18] to [22] and [26]. In particular,
various results on the approximation of diffusions were derived. Finally, in [23], a paper written
jointly with Eckhard Platen, we analysed discretisation procedures and the approximation of
diffusions.
The study of metastable phenomena in stochastic particle models, motivated the search of a
weaker topology on the space D replacing the customary Skorokhod's topology. The articles [24],
[25], [27], [28] were aimed at solving that problem.
Finally, the convergence of non adapted processes was covered in [29], [35], [36], and more
recently, random fields convergence was studied in [37].
