We establish a framework for the study of the effective theory of weak convergence of measures. We define two effective notions of weak convergence of measures on $\mathbb{R}$: one uniform and one non-uniform. We show that these notions are…
We introduce a notion of weak convergence in arbitrary metric spaces. Metric functionals are key in our analysis: weak convergence of sequences in a given metric space is tested against all the metric functionals defined on said space. When…
Prokhorov's Theorem in probability theory states that a family $\Gamma$ of probability measures on a Polish space is tight if and only if every sequence in $\Gamma$ has a weakly convergent subsequence. Due to the highly non-constructive…
Topological measures and deficient topological measures are defined on open and closed subsets of a topological space, generalize regular Borel measures, and correspond to (non-linear in general) functionals that are linear on singly…
In the past decades, weak convergence theory for stochastic processes has become a standard tool for analyzing the asymptotic properties of various statistics. Routinely, weak convergence is considered in the space of bounded functions…
We introduce a notion of vague convergence for random marked metric measure spaces. Our main result shows that convergence of the moments of order $k \ge 1$ of a random marked metric measure space is sufficient to obtain its vague…
Necessary and sufficient conditions for weak and vague convergence of measures are important for a diverse host of applications. This paper aims to give a comprehensive description of the relationship between the two modes of convergence…
A common statistical task lies in showing asymptotic normality of certain statistics. In many of these situations, classical textbook results on weak convergence theory suffice for the problem at hand. However, there are quite some…
We study the relationship between different kinds of convergence of finite signed measures and discuss their metrizability. In particular, we study the concept of basic convergence recently introduced by Khartov [arXiv:2204.13667] and…
An important theme in recent work in asymptotic geometric analysis is that many classical implications between different types of geometric or functional inequalities can be reversed in the presence of convexity assumptions. In this note,…
It is known that the space of boundedly finite integer-valued measures on a complete separable metric space becomes itself a complete separable metric space when endowed with the weak-hash metric. It is also known that convergence under…
Weak convergence of probability measures is one of the most important topics in the field probability and statistics. In this survey paper, we look at weak convergence of probability measures from the topological vector space point of view.…
We investigate the power of weak measurements in the framework of quantum state discrimination. First, we define and analyze the notion of weak consecutive measurements. Our main result is a convergence theorem whereby we demonstrate when…
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the isoperimetric inequality for symmetric log-convex probability measures on the line. Using geometric arguments we first re-prove that extremal sets in the isoperimetric inequality are intervals or…
We present a result on topologically equivalent integral metrics (Rachev, 1991, Muller, 1997) that metrize weak convergence of laws with common marginals. This result is relevant for applications, as shown in a few simple examples.
A uniformly continuously integrable sequence of real-valued measurable functions, defined on some probability space, is relatively compact in the $\sigma(L^1,L^\infty)$ topology. In this paper, we link such a result to weak convergence…
Based on a weak convergence argument, we provide a necessary and sufficient condition that guarantees that a nonnegative local martingale is indeed a martingale. Typically, conditions of this sort are expressed in terms of integrability…
The main aim of this article is to give an exposition of weak convergence, Prohorov theorem and Prohorov spaces. In this context we study the relationship between Levy distance $\ell(F, G)$ between two distribution functions $F$ and $G$ and…
Finite metric spaces are the object of study in many data analysis problems. We examine the concept of weak isometry between finite metric spaces, in order to analyse properties of the spaces that are invariant under strictly increasing…
This paper deals with three major types of convergence of probability measures on metric spaces: weak convergence, setwise converges, and convergence in the total variation. First, it describes and compares necessary and sufficient…
