Weak Sequential Compactness of Borel Measures of Total Mass One on a Compact Metric Space

Statement

Let (K,d)(K,d) be a metric space, let Td\mathcal{T}_d be the collection of subsets of KK that are open in (K,d)(K,d), which is a topology on KK by Metric Open Sets Form a Topology, and assume that KK is compact in (K,Td)(K,\mathcal{T}_d).

Let R\mathbb{R} denote the real numbers, with the addition, multiplication, identities, additive inverses, multiplicative inverses and order of their ordered field structure; for s,t∈Rs,t\in\mathbb{R} write s−ts-t for s+(−t)s+(-t), write s<ts<t to mean that s≤ts\le t and s≠ts\ne t, let ∣s∣|s| be the absolute value of ss, and let dRd_{\mathbb{R}} be given by dR(s,t)=∣s−t∣d_{\mathbb{R}}(s,t)=|s-t|, which is a metric on R\mathbb{R} by The Absolute Value Metric on the Real Line. Let N\mathbb{N} be the set of natural numbers.

Let (μn)n∈N(\mu_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}} be a sequence whose terms are Borel measures on (K,d)(K,d), and assume that μn(K)=1\mu_n(K)=1 for every n∈Nn\in\mathbb{N}, so that each μn\mu_n is finite.

Then there exist a sequence (nj)j∈N(n_j)_{j\in\mathbb{N}} in N\mathbb{N} that is strictly increasing and a Borel measure μ\mu on (K,d)(K,d) with μ(K)=1\mu(K)=1 such that the subsequence (μnj)j∈N(\mu_{n_j})_{j\in\mathbb{N}} converges weakly to μ\mu.
