Completeness of the Quadratic Wasserstein Space over Euclidean Space

The space of probability measures on RdR^d with finite second moment, with the quadratic Wasserstein distance, is a complete metric space.

Statement

In the settings of The Real Numbers: Standing Notation and Background and The Intrinsic Calculus on the Wasserstein Space: Standing Notation, let (P2(Rd),W2)(\mathcal{P}_{2}(\mathbb{R}^{d}),W_{2}) be the Wasserstein space with its distance, a metric space by The Quadratic Wasserstein Distance is a Metric on the Wasserstein Space §metric.

(Completeness) (P2(Rd),W2)(\mathcal{P}_{2}(\mathbb{R}^{d}),W_{2}) is a complete metric space: every Cauchy sequence in it converges to an element of P2(Rd)\mathcal{P}_{2}(\mathbb{R}^{d}).
