Random elements of a metric space, possibly on different probability spaces, converge in distribution exactly when the expectations of every bounded continuous function of them converge, and exactly when this holds for every bounded Lipschitz function.
In the setting of Convergence of Probability Measures and Random Elements: Standing Notation, for each let be a random element of on a probability space , with the expectation there, and let be a random element of on .
