Let μn,μ be Probability Measures on (Ω,F). The following conditions are equivalent: 1. μn converges weakly to μ, i.e. for every Continuous and bounded f:Ω→R:X∫f(x)μn(dx)→X∫f(x)μ(dx). 2. For all x∈R s.t. μ{x}=0 μn((−∞,x])→μ((−∞,x]) 3. For every Closed set C∈Ω: n→∞limsupμn(C)≤μ(C). 4. For every Open set G: n→∞liminfμn(G)≥μ(G). 5. For every B∈B(Ω) whose boundary has μ-measure 0 (i.e. μ(∂B)=0):n→∞limμn(B)=μ(B).
For rvs X,X1,X2,… on (Ω,F,P), the following are equivalent: 1. Xn converges to X in distribution, i.e. for all t∈R such that F(t) is Continuous Fn(t)→F(t) 2. For all Continuous and bounded f:Ω→R E[f(Xn)]→E[f(X)] 3. For every closed set F⊆R P(X∈F)≥n→∞limsupP(Xn∈F) 4. For every open set G⊆R P(X∈G)≤n→∞liminfP(Xn∈G) 5. For every B∈B such that P(X∈∂B)=0 P(Xn∈B)→P(X∈B)
