Abstract
This article deals with the Skorokhod embedding problem in bounded
time for the Brownian motion with drift Xt = t+Wt: Given a probability
measure µ we aim at finding a stopping time such that the law of X
is µ, and is almost surely smaller than some given fixed time horizon
T > 0. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions on the distribution
