Two probability measures on RqR^q that give the same integral to every Lipschitz function with values in [0,1] are equal.

Statement

In the setting of Probability Measures on Euclidean Space and Random Vectors: Standing Notation, fix a dimension qq. A function ϕ:RqR\phi:\mathbb{R}^{q}\to\mathbb{R} is Lipschitz when it is so as a map from Rq\mathbb{R}^{q} with the Euclidean distance dEd_{E} of Euclidean Space and Lebesgue Measure: Standing Notation §space to the real line with the absolute-value metric; such a ϕ\phi is uniformly continuous by A Lipschitz Map is Uniformly Continuous, hence continuous by A Uniformly Continuous Map Between Metric Spaces Is Continuous, hence Borel by Probability Measures on Euclidean Space and Random Vectors: Standing Notation §borel-maps, and the functions ϕ\phi considered below, taking values in [0,1][0,1], are bounded, hence integrable with respect to every probability measure by Probability Measures on Euclidean Space and Random Vectors: Standing Notation §measures. Let μ,νP(Rq)\mu,\nu\in\mathcal{P}(\mathbb{R}^{q}) satisfy

Rqϕdμ=Rqϕdν\int_{\mathbb{R}^{q}}\phi\,d\mu=\int_{\mathbb{R}^{q}}\phi\,d\nu

for every Lipschitz ϕ:RqR\phi:\mathbb{R}^{q}\to\mathbb{R} with 0ϕ(x)10\le\phi(x)\le1 for all xRqx\in\mathbb{R}^{q}. Then μ=ν\mu=\nu.
