Acknowledgements
To my supervisor, Bernardo, I am immensely grateful due to a couple of important reasons: for granting me the opportunity of performing this work, for the everyday teachings, for the constant encouragement and support and, maybe above all, for the patience towards me – I know myself enough to estimate this amount.
To my cosupervisor, Daniel, I express my gratitute for another couple of reasons: for accepting me as a sandwich PhD student, for the enormous diligence, for the insightful ideas and discussions, for the positiveness towards my work that culminated in this double degree and for the finer machine cappuccinos.
The members of the Assessment Committee, I would like to thank for accepting the invitation and for the time invested in reading the manuscript. In particular, I am grateful to Prof. Aernout van Enter, for writing the dutch summary and for an early reading of the manuscript, providing useful suggestions. I am also grateful to UFMG and UG for hosting me, and all of its workers who play an important role in our academic lives. To the funding agencies, Capes and CNPq, thank you for the financial support.
To my friends at Groningen, thank you so much for existing at the right time, at the right place. You have made my life much easier, funnier, and plentiful of good food. Gabriel, I owe you a lot. Since the very beginning of my journey to Groningen, you did not hesitate to assist me, whichever the things were.
To my friends at UFMG, I can say the same as above regarding place and time. Carol, Edson and Willer, thank you for the excellent meaningless conversations we have had along the years. And having lunch at Praça de Serviços is utterly better than at ICB. Marcelo, you are the person who first introduced me to probability theory, back in 2008 ± 1, when you were a PhD student at IMPA. You provided me motivation to go further on the studies, and I thank you for that.
My biggest personal gratitude is to my family, especially to my parents, grand-mother, and my dearest Karol. You are the source of all support, love and caring I have. You shine the light when confusion arises.
