Reason: Initial publication. Weak convergence of finite Borel measures on a metric space, tested against bounded continuous functions.

Statement

Let (X,d)(X,d) be a metric space, let (μn)nN(\mu_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}} be a sequence of Borel measures on (X,d)(X,d) with μn(X)<\mu_n(X)<\infty for every nn, and let μ\mu be a Borel measure on (X,d)(X,d) with μ(X)<\mu(X)<\infty. Regard R\mathbb{R} as a metric space with the absolute-value metric.

We say that (μn)nN(\mu_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}} converges weakly to μ\mu, written μnμ\mu_n\Rightarrow\mu, if for every bounded function f:XRf:X\to\mathbb{R} that is continuous on XX, the sequence of integrals (Xfdμn)nN\bigl(\int_X f\,d\mu_n\bigr)_{n\in\mathbb{N}} converges to Xfdμ\int_X f\,d\mu.
