Clark | Right, but you still need to metrize the finite cyclic groups according to their embeddings into the Euclidean unit circle, i.e., so that the minimum distance between distinct points approaches $0$ as $n$ approaches infinity. So the "Gromov" part of Gromov-Hausdorff doesn't seem to be buying us anything here: you could just say that $\mu_n$ converges to $S^1$ in the Hausdorff metric on compact subsets of $\mathbb{R}^2$. | |
