Root's and Rost's embeddings : construction, optimality and applications to variance options

Root’s solution (Root [1969]) to the Skorokhod embedding problem can be described as the first hitting time of a space-time process (Xt, t) on a so-called barrier, charac- terised by certain properties, such that the stopped underlying process X has a given distribution.
