Reason: Initial publication. Bounded Lipschitz test functions determine a finite Borel measure on a metric space, and consequently weak limits are unique.

Statement

Let (X,d)(X,d) be a metric space with XX nonempty and let B(X)\mathcal{B}(X) be its Borel σ\sigma-algebra. Regard R\mathbb{R} as a metric space with the absolute-value metric, and let bounded have the meaning fixed there for a real-valued function on a set.

1. (Determination) Let μ\mu and ν\nu be finite measures on (X,B(X))(X,\mathcal{B}(X)) such that

Xfdμ=Xfdν\int_X f\,d\mu=\int_X f\,d\nu

for every bounded Lipschitz function f:XRf:X\to\mathbb{R}, the integrals being those of Integrable Function and the Lebesgue Integral. Then μ=ν\mu=\nu, that is, μ(B)=ν(B)\mu(B)=\nu(B) for every BB(X)B\in\mathcal{B}(X).

2. (Uniqueness of weak limits) Let (μn)nN(\mu_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}} be a sequence of finite measures on (X,B(X))(X,\mathcal{B}(X)) and let μ\mu and ν\nu be finite measures on (X,B(X))(X,\mathcal{B}(X)) such that (μn)nN(\mu_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}} converges weakly both to μ\mu and to ν\nu. Then μ=ν\mu=\nu.
