Skorokhods M1 topology is defined for c`adl`ag paths taking values in the space of tempered distributions (more generally, in the dual of a countably Hilbertian nuclear space). Compactness and tightness characterisations are derived which allow us to study a collection of stochastic processes through their projections on the familiar space of real-valued c`adl`ag processes. It is shown how this topological space can be used in analysing the convergence of empirical process approximations to distribution-valued evolution equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions.

For real symmetric and complex Hermitian Gaussian processes whose values are $dtimes d$ matrices, we characterize the conditions under which the probability that at least $k$ eigenvalues collide is positive for $2le kle d$, and we obtain the Hausdorff dimension of the set of collision times.
We consider a piecewise-deterministic Markov process (PDMP) with general conditional distribution of inter-occurrence time, which is called a general PDMP here. Our purpose is to establish the theory of measure-valued generator for general PDMPs. The additive functional of a semi-dynamic system (SDS) is introduced firstly, which presents us an analytic tool for the whole paper. The additive functionals of a general PDMP are represented in terms of additive functionals of the SDS. The necessary and sufficient conditions of being a local martingale or a special semimartingale for them are given. The measure-valued generator for a general PDMP is introduced, which takes value in the space of additive functionals of the SDS. And its domain is completely described by analytic conditions. The domain is extended to the locally (path-)finite variation functions. As an application of measure-valued generator, we study the expected cumulative discounted value of an additive functional of the general PDMP, and get a measure integro-differential equation satisfied by the expected cumulative discounted value function.
The Gamma-Dirichlet structure corresponds to the decomposition of the gamma process into the independent product of a gamma random variable and a Dirichlet process. This structure allows us to study the properties of the Dirichlet process through the gamma process and vice versa. In this article, we begin with a brief review of existing results concerning the Gamma-Dirichlet structure. New results are obtained for the large deviations of the jump sizes of the gamma process and the quasi-invariance of the two-parameter Poisson-Dirichlet distribution. The laws of the gamma process and the Dirichlet process are the respective reversible measures of the measure-valued branching diffusion with immigration and the Fleming-Viot process with parent independent mutation. We view the relation between these two classes of measure-valued processes as the dynamical Gamma-Dirichlet structure. Other results of this article include the derivation of the transition function of the Fleming-Viot process with parent independent mutation from the transition function of the measure-valued branching diffusion with immigration, and the establishment of the reversibility of the latter. One of these is related to an open problem by Ethier and Griffiths and the other leads to an alternative proof of the reversibility of the Fleming-Viot process.
We prove It^os formula for the $L_{p}$-norm of a stochastic $W^{1}_{p}$-valued processes appearing in the theory of SPDEs in divergence form.
We derive two upper bounds for the probability of deviation of a vector-valued Lipschitz function of a collection of random variables from its expected value. The resulting upper bounds can be tighter than bounds obtained by a direct application of a classical theorem due to Bobkov and G{o}tze.
