On laws with a norm bound, each moment is a Lipschitz function of the noncommutative Wasserstein distance; hence Wasserstein convergence implies weak-star convergence and sequentially weak-star closed sets are Wasserstein closed.

Statement

In the setting of Noncommutative Laws, Couplings and the Wasserstein Distance: Standing Notation, let d∈Nd\in\mathbb{N} and let R>0R>0 be real. By The Noncommutative Wasserstein Distance Satisfies the Triangle Inequality and is a Metric on Noncommutative Laws §metric the restriction of W2W_{2} to Σd,R×Σd,R\Sigma_{d,R}\times\Sigma_{d,R} is a metric on Σd,R\Sigma_{d,R}, and openness of subsets of Σd,R\Sigma_{d,R} refers to the metric space (Σd,R,W2)(\Sigma_{d,R},W_{2}) as in Open Subset of a Metric Space.

1. (Lipschitz moments) For every p∈Pdp\in\mathcal{P}_{d} there is a nonnegative real CC such that

∣μ(p)−ν(p)∣≤C W2(μ,ν)for all μ,ν∈Σd,R.|\mu(p)-\nu(p)|\le C\,W_{2}(\mu,\nu)\qquad\text{for all }\mu,\nu\in\Sigma_{d,R}.

2. (Wasserstein convergence implies weak-star convergence) Let (μm)m∈N(\mu_{m})_{m\in\mathbb{N}} be a sequence in Σd,R\Sigma_{d,R} and μ∈Σd,R\mu\in\Sigma_{d,R} such that the real sequence (W2(μm,μ))m∈N(W_{2}(\mu_{m},\mu))_{m\in\mathbb{N}} converges to 00. Then μm→μ\mu_{m}\to\mu weak-star.

3. (Closed sets) Let K⊆Σd,RK\subseteq\Sigma_{d,R} be such that λ∈K\lambda\in K whenever λ∈Σd,R\lambda\in\Sigma_{d,R} and some sequence in KK converges weak-star to λ\lambda. Then Σd,R∖K\Sigma_{d,R}\setminus K is open in (Σd,R,W2)(\Sigma_{d,R},W_{2}).
