A weak limit of couplings of two fixed probability measures on Euclidean space is again a coupling of them.

Statement

In the setting of Probability Measures on Euclidean Space and Random Vectors: Standing Notation, let mNm\in\mathbb{N} satisfy 1m1\le m, let dEd_{E} denote the Euclidean distance on Rm+m\mathbb{R}^{m+m}, and let μ,νP(Rm)\mu,\nu\in\mathcal{P}(\mathbb{R}^{m}), with Π(μ,ν)\Pi(\mu,\nu) the set of their couplings.

Let (πn)nN(\pi_{n})_{n\in\mathbb{N}} be a sequence with πnΠ(μ,ν)\pi_{n}\in\Pi(\mu,\nu) for every nNn\in\mathbb{N}, and assume that it converges weakly to πP(Rm+m)\pi\in\mathcal{P}(\mathbb{R}^{m+m}) on the metric space (Rm+m,dE)(\mathbb{R}^{m+m},d_{E}).

Then πΠ(μ,ν)\pi\in\Pi(\mu,\nu).
