Boundedly finite measures: Separation and convergence by an algebra of functions

Probability 2016-09-12 v2

Abstract

We prove general results about separation and weak#^\#-convergence of boundedly finite measures on separable metric spaces and Souslin spaces. More precisely, we consider an algebra of bounded real-valued, or more generally a *-algebra F\mathcal{F} of bounded complex-valued functions and give conditions for it to be separating or weak#^\#-convergence determining for those boundedly finite measures that integrate all functions in F\mathcal{F}. For separation, it is sufficient if F\mathcal{F} separates points, vanishes nowhere, and either consists of only countably many measurable functions, or of arbitrarily many continuous functions. For convergence determining, it is sufficient if F\mathcal{F} induces the topology of the underlying space, and every bounded set AA admits a function in F\mathcal{F} with values bounded away from zero on AA.
